• Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Mechatronics, or a closely related field.
• Minimum 3–5 years of hands-on experience in electronics assembly, integration, or testing (aerospace, UAV/drone, or defense industry strongly preferred).
• Proven track record in troubleshooting complex avionics, wiring harnesses, and electronic systems.
• Experience with acceptance testing and test-bench operation is mandatory.

Preferred Qualifications

• Strong knowledge of analog/digital circuits, power electronics, communication protocols (CAN, Ethernet, RS-422/485, MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429, etc.), and PCB-level diagnostics.
• Proficiency in reading and interpreting electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and harness drawings.
• Hands-on experience with test equipment (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, power supplies, data loggers) and automated test software (LabVIEW, Python, MATLAB/Simulink, or equivalent).
• Familiarity with aerospace standards (DO-160, DO-178C, DO-254, MIL-STD-810, IPC/WHMA-A-620) is a strong advantage.
