Junior Embedded Engineer – R&D Thermal Camera Team in Skillers, LLC

About the role

We are developing a cutting-edge thermal imaging camera  - a complex hardware–software product that combines electronics, firmware, mechanics, and system design. To strengthen our R&D team in Kyiv, we are looking for a Junior Embedded Engineer - someone at the beginning of their career, eager to dive into firmware development, work with microcontrollers and sensors, and learn quickly from experienced colleagues.

This role is essential for supporting the engineering team in day-to-day tasks: from writing and debugging code to component integration. You will grow your technical skills in a real product development environment and gradually advance to the level of an engineer capable of making independent technical decisions.

Your contribution will help the team move faster, ensure high-quality implementation, and lay the foundation for innovative product features.

Why should you apply through our recruitment partner?

Skillers is an international IT recruitment agency with a strong presence in the tech market since 2005. We know how to present your experience to the client in the best way and guide you through the process for maximum results.
