Aerospace Electronics Design Engineer - End-to-End Hardware

Ubiq Aerospace; Trondheim; On-site; NOK 750,000 - 950,000; Full time

Job summary

Ubiq Aerospace in Trondheim seeks an Electronics Design Engineer to own electronic hardware from concept through to tested PCB assemblies. You will design, prototype, bring up and validate power and signal electronics, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to ensure robust, manufacturable solutions.

You'll work hands-on across schematic capture, PCB layout and component selection, taking ownership from design to production and contributing to architecture decisions for next‑generation

Qualifications

• Relevant education within electronics, power electronics, electrical engineering or a related field. Practical experience and demonstrated ability are just as important to us as the specific educational path you have taken.
• Hands-on experience designing electronic hardware and taking PCB designs from an initial idea through to working hardware.
• Experience with schematic capture and complete PCB layout, including component placement and routing.
• Strong understanding of electronic design principles and good knowledge of analogue and digital circuits.
• Ability to select components and make sound engineering trade-offs based on electrical performance, reliability, availability and other design constraints.
• Comfortable bringing up and debugging newly manufactured PCBs and systematically finding and solving hardware problems.
• Experience using standard electronics lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies and signal generators.
• Understanding of design for manufacturing (DFM) principles and how PCB design choices influence fabrication, assembly, testability and production reliability.
• Proficient in fine-pitch SMD soldering, wire crimping, and PCB modification to support rapid iteration.
• Strong analytical problem-solving skills combined with a pragmatic and solution-oriented approach.
• Enjoy taking technical ownership while collaborating closely with others.

Responsibilities

• End-to-end electronics design: Take ownership of electronic hardware from requirements and architecture through circuit design, component selection, schematic capture and complete PCB layout.
• Prototyping and bring-up: Take new hardware from design files to physical prototypes, including board bring-up, debugging and iteration.
• Design for manufacturing: Consider manufacturability, assembly and test from the outset, and work with manufacturing partners and colleagues to take designs smoothly from prototypes towards reliable production.
• Assembly and integration: Assemble and integrate electronics & wiring into higher-level subsystems.
• Testing and validation: Develop and perform testing to verify that designs meet their requirements and perform reliably in their intended environment.
• Hardware architecture: Analyse future hardware needs and contribute to system architecture and technical trade-offs.
• Cross-disciplinary development: Work closely with other engineering disciplines to ensure electronics are well integrated into the overall system.
• Documentation: Document hardware designs, design choices, test procedures and results to support effective collaboration and future development.
