Mission

We are looking for versatile Electronics Engineers to join our rapidly growing UAS development team. This is a "full-spectrum" role where you will see your designs move from a blank sheet to rapid prototyping and finally into the air.

Whether you are a Graduate eager to learn PCB layout and harness design, or a Principal Engineer capable of architecting complex mission systems and leading internal manufacturing standards, we have a place for you. You will be responsible for the "nervous system" of our aircraft: from power distribution to on-board mission systems and motor controllers to high-speed data interfaces for advanced payloads.

What will be your responsibilities:

  • PCB Design & Layout: Design, capture, and layout multi-layer PCBs (using Altium, Fusion or similar) for power management, signal conditioning, and sensor interfacing.
  • System Integration: Design and specify complex aircraft wiring looms and interconnects, ensuring signal integrity and robust EMI/EMC performance.
  • Prototyping & Build: Work closely with our in-house manufacturing team to assemble, solder, and bring up initial prototype hardware.
  • Payload Integration: Develop bespoke electronics to interface novel sensors and mission systems with the aircraft's main flight computer.
  • Testing & Validation: Conduct rigorous bench testing, thermal analysis, and environmental stress testing to ensure hardware reliability in flight.
  • Lifecycle Management: (Senior/Principal) Define design standards, manage component obsolescence, and mentor junior engineers in "Design for Manufacture" (DfM) principles.

Profile and requirements:

  • Education: Degree in Electronic Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
  • Technical Skills: Proficiency in schematic capture and PCB layout software.
  • Hands-on Ability: Comfortable with soldering, using oscilloscopes, and basic mechanical assembly of electronics enclosures.
  • Domain Knowledge: Understanding of power electronics (batteries, ESCs, BLDC motors) and/or digital communication protocols (CAN, SPI, I2C, Ethernet).
  • Seniority Levels:
  • Graduate/Junior: Strong academic projects or personal "maker" portfolio (e.g., drones, robotics).
  • Senior/Principal: 8-12+ years of experience with a track record of delivering flight-critical or ruggedized hardware.
  • Security: Must be eligible for SC Clearance.
  • The "Maker" Mindset: A genuine passion for building things. You enjoy the process of seeing a design come to life in the lab.
  • Attention to Detail: A meticulous approach to hardware development, ensuring high standards and quality assurance.
  • Versatility: The ability to operate effectively across diverse electrical domains, ranging from high-power systems to high-precision, low-power signal processing.
  • Adaptability: A proactive desire to embrace new processes and drive continuous improvement in engineering methods.
  • Agility: Comfortable leading in a fast-paced development environment where requirements and threats can evolve rapidly.
What we have to offer you
  • An excellent work environment and an opportunity to make a difference;
  • Salary Compatible with the level of proven experience.
