We are seeking a passionate and skilled hardware design engineer to join our team, developing high-performance electronic systems for drone applications. The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in analog and digital circuit design, circuit simulation, and hardware verification, along with hands‑on experience in PCB design using Altium Designer.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, analyze, and simulate analog, digital, and mixed‑signal circuits for drone subsystems.
• Develop and validate motor control circuits (BDC, BLDC, and related driver circuits).
• Perform SPICE‑based simulations (LTspice, Proteus, or equivalent) for circuit verification and performance evaluation.
• Design linear and switched‑mode power supplies (SMPS) and isolated topologies for drone components.
• Develop MOSFET‑based driver circuits and current‑sensing solutions for efficient motor control.
• Communication Interfaces
• Implement and verify communication protocols such as SPI, I²C, UART, USB, and Ethernet for embedded systems integration.
• PCB Design
• Ensure best practices for signal integrity (SI), power integrity (PI), and EMI/EMC compliance.
• Testing, Validation & Troubleshooting
• Participate in board bring‑up, functional testing, and debugging of prototype hardware.
• Use lab equipment (DSO, logic analyzer, signal generator, thermal imager, RPS, multimeter) for validation and performance analysis.
• Select components, prepare BOMs, and support procurement and manufacturing activities.
• Generate and maintain design documentation, test reports, and compliance records.
• Cross‑functional Collaboration
• Work closely with firmware, mechanical, and system teams to ensure hardware integration and optimal performance in drone applications.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electronics engineering, electrical engineering, or a related field.
• Solid understanding of circuit design, simulation, and PCB design principles.
• Proficiency in Altium Designer, LTspice, or equivalent tools.
• Knowledge of power electronics, motor control, and embedded communication protocols.
• Experience with EMI/EMC, DFM, and hardware validation processes is a plus.
• Passion for drones, robotics, and advanced embedded systems development.
