• A business on the rise: With significant investment and a growing platform of civil and military UAV projects, now is the perfect time to get involved.
• Room to grow: Receive training, mentoring, and exposure to various projects across the aircraft, supporting your professional development beyond electronics.
• Solid benefits: Including private healthcare, enhanced parental leave, flexible hours, and a pension matched up to 6%.

You are an electronics engineer eager to see your designs in action. You are confident in your design skills, calm under pressure when troubleshooting, and collaborative, capable of working alongside mechanical, software, and systems teams.

This role involves designing core electronics for aircraft, including digital electronics design, schematics, layouts of flight-critical PCBs, and debugging power systems.

Aircraft sizes vary from several meters in wingspan to palm-sized models, offering a broad range of electronics challenges.
