Full time | Core team

LAT Aerospace | Cross Program

LAT Aerospace is developing next-generation aerospace systems from first principles. This includes a hybrid electric aircraft that takes off and lands within a space of a parking lot, Defence systems built from ground up and scalable Gas Turbine Engines.

What You’ll Do

• Design digital, analog, and mixed-signal PCBs for sensing, control, communication, data acquisition, and instrumentation systems.
• Own the hardware lifecycle from architecture, schematic, component selection, and PCB layout through fabrication, bring-up, and validation.
• Design multilayer boards with attention to signal integrity, power integrity, grounding, thermal management, and EMI/EMC.
• Develop interfaces for sensors, actuators, processors, communication buses, and external systems.
• Work with embedded engineers to define hardware–firmware interfaces.
• Perform circuit analysis, component derating, simulation, and design reviews.
• Lead board bring-up, debugging, characterization, and failure analysis.
• Develop test fixtures and supporting electronics for rapid hardware development.
• Work with PCB fabrication and assembly partners to take designs from prototype to repeatable production.
• Maintain schematics, layouts, BOMs, and engineering documentation.

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of professional experience in PCB design and hardware development.
• Strong fundamentals in analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuit design.
• Proficiency with Altium, KiCad, or equivalent PCB design tools.
• Experience with multilayer PCB design, signal/power integrity, grounding, and EMI/EMC.
• Hands-on experience with component selection, schematic capture, PCB layout, and hardware bring-up.
• Comfortable debugging hardware using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG/programmers, power supplies, and other lab equipment.
• Strong understanding of common communication interfaces such as CAN, SPI, I²C, UART, RS-485, Ethernet, or equivalent.
• Comfortable working directly with prototypes, soldering, test benches, and rapid hardware iterations.
• Experience designing electronics for aerospace, automotive, robotics, industrial, or other high-performance systems is preferred.

Why join LAT?

• No hierarchy beyond strength of ideas.
• Rapid hardware iteration culture.
• Build systems that have to work reliably in the real world.
