Student (Hardware Engineering)

Our requirements

• Education: 3rd-year student of Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications, Automation and Robotics, or a related field.
• Availability: At least 20 hours per week in our Gdynia office (lab work happens on site).
• Electronics fundamentals: Good understanding of analog and digital circuits: passive components, transistors, power supplies, logic, and common buses (I2C, SPI, UART).
• Microcontroller / processor basics: Basic knowledge of how a microcontroller or microprocessor system works, including its memory (RAM, Flash) and peripheral interfaces.
• Schematic and PCB tools: Hands-on experience from coursework or projects with an EDA tool (e.g., KiCad, Altium, OrCAD or Eagle). You can read and draw a schematic.
• Lab skills: Comfortable using basic lab equipment and soldering.
• Problem-solving: Curious and methodical when debugging; you dig into why something doesn't work.
• English: Good enough to read datasheets and talk with colleagues in English (B2 or higher).
• Teamwork: Willing to learn, ask questions, and accept feedback in a team.

Optional

• Your own hardware projects: A board you designed and built, a student science club (koło naukowe), or a contest team. Bring photos or a GitHub link.
• Embedded programming: Some C/C++ on a microcontroller (STM32, AVR, ESP32, Raspberry Pi Pico or similar).
• Programmable logic: Basic VHDL or Verilog, or a course on FPGAs/CPLDs.
• High-speed or power design: Some knowledge of signal integrity, DDR memory, or DC/DC converter design.
• Standards awareness: Interest in how telecom standards (NEBS, ETSI) and EMC rules affect hardware and mechanical design.
• Scripting: Python for test automation or data analysis.

Your responsibilities

• Hardware design support: Help the Hardware Engineer with schematic capture, design reviews, and preparing PCB layout guidance for controller modules.
• Lab work and bring-up: Take part in board bring-up and debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters and power supplies.
• Testing: Help write and run hardware and integration test cases, record results, and report issues you find.
• Component research: Look up datasheets, compare alternative components, and check availability and lifecycle status as input to component selection.
• Documentation: Contribute to Hardware Design Specifications, test reports, and production test documentation.
• Production support: Learn how PCB assemblies are released to production and help the Operations team with production test procedures.
• Teamwork: Join team meetings and see how Hardware works with Systems Engineering, FPGA, Mechanics, Software and Operations across our global sites.
