Job Title: Hardware & Firmware Engineer (Prototype Build)
Location: Remote
Job Type: Contract

The Project

Pharmocon is developing a handheld biomedical health monitor. We need an experienced Embedded Systems Engineer to design a compact custom PCB and write real-time C/C++ firmware to control optical sensors, a miniature piezo actuator, and basic user-feedback systems for our V1 prototype.

What You Will Provide

- Design Files: Complete Altium or KiCad files (Schematic, PCB Layout).
- Physical Prototypes: 5 fully assembled, machine-populated boards (managed via a turn-key house like JLCPCB/PCBWay).
- Firmware: Heavily commented C/C++ source code executing real-time control logic and USB/Serial telemetry streaming.

Core Skills Needed

- Compact, high-density PCB layout for wearable/handheld devices.
- Turn-key PCBA manufacturing experience (JLCPCB,



PCBWay, or equivalent).
- C/C++ bare-metal/RTOS development for 32-bit microcontrollers (ARM Cortex-M).
- Experience with optical sensors, piezo actuators, and low-power embedded design.

Compensation

Fixed-fee contract at $3200 USD for full delivery of design files, 5 working prototype boards, and commented firmware source code.

Pay: $4,500.00 per month
