Our culture is professional, flexible, and inclusive, offering excellent benefits and a proven track record of success. This is a rare opportunity to join an expanding, cutting-edge team.
The Role
Reporting to the Senior Engineering Manager, the Electronics Engineer will contribute towards the complete development lifecycle, from concept and PCB design to system integration, testing, and troubleshooting. You will collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to deliver high-performance flight safety and navigation solutions, maintaining excellence through thorough design documentation and technical reports.
Key Responsibilities
- Design Unnamed Aerial Systems sensor, communications, and control electronics, covering the full lifecycle: concept, hardware selection, schematic/PCB design, final system integration, and design for manufacture.
- Follow and improve engineering processes, design methodologies, and ECAD libraries to increase development efficiency and product quality.
- Independently define and run rigorous tests of individual and integrated electronics systems.
- Must be able to produce comprehensive, high-quality documentation. This specifically includes well-articulated design documentation and test reports.
- Troubleshoot electronics-based and low-level communications issues using lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, load generators, and multimeters.
- Collaborate effectively with fellow engineers and technicians to achieve and deliver complete, operational solutions.
- Evaluate and select components considering cost, interfaces, lead times, and long-term availability to mitigate supply chain risks.
- Engage with customers to translate key user requirements to design requirements and to support customer integration and project engagements.
