Electronic Design Engineer

AVETICS GLOBAL PTE. LTD.; Singapore; On-site; SGD 72,000 - 108,000; Full time

Job summary

AVETICS GLOBAL PTE. LTD. in Singapore seeks a hardware design engineer to design electronic boards for a drone tether station and airside hardware. You will own the full cycle from requirements to production, collaborating with a nine-member team across mechanical, electrical, firmware, and software.

You will design schematics and PCBs in Altium, ensure EMC compliance, bring up boards at the bench, and support certification activities for EN/IEC standards while maintaining BOMs and revisions.

Qualifications

• Degree in Electrical or Electronic Engineering or equivalent.
• 3–6 years of production-hardened hardware design experience.
• Proficient in Altium Designer with multilayer layouts and impedance control.
• Practical EMC design experience with CE EMI/EMC considerations.
• Ability to design to EN 55032/55035/61000 for EMI testing.
• Experience with switch-mode power supplies and high-voltage design rules.
• Familiar with STM32 microcontrollers and CAN/CAN FD.
• Comfort with test equipment for bench bring-up.

Responsibilities

• Design schematics and PCB layouts for ground station and airside boards in Altium.
• Develop mixed-signal hardware including power conversion and motor drive.
• Select components via datasheet review and derating.
• Ensure EMC from the start with proper grounding and filtering.
• Perform pre-compliance EMC tests and fix failures.
• Support certification work for EMC and safety standards.
• Bring up boards on the bench and debug hardware.
• Update BOMs and ECOs; participate in design reviews.

Job description

The role

You will design the electronic boards for a drone tether station and for the airside hardware. This covers the full process: requirements, schematic, PCB layout, prototype fabrication, testing, and EMC compliance. You do the layout yourself in Altium Designer. You also stay with the board through DFM and into production.

The team is nine engineers across mechanical, electrical, firmware, and software.

Responsibilities

• Design schematics and PCB layouts in Altium Designer for ground station and airside boards

• Work on mixed-signal designs covering power conversion, motor drive, CAN FD, microcontrollers, and sensors

• Select components based on datasheet review, derating, and availability

• Design for EMC from the start: grounding, return paths, filtering, shielding, and isolation

• Run pre-compliance EMC tests and fix failures before they reach the certification phase

• Support certification work for EMC, radio, and safety standards including EN 55032, EN 55035, EN 61000, and IEC 62368-1

• Bring up your own boards and debug them at the bench

• Review fab and assembly feedback, design in test points and test coverage, and support production builds

• Keep BOMs, revisions, and ECOs in order

• Take part in design reviews, both as the person presenting and the person reviewing

For airside boards, you will also need to work within weight and size limits and thermal management.

Requirements

• Degree in Electrical or Electronic Engineering, or equivalent experience

• 3 to 6 years designing electronic hardware that went into production

• Good working knowledge of Altium Designer, including multilayer layout and impedance control

• Practical EMC design experience — you can explain why a board passed or failed

• Able to design boards to meet EN 55032, EN 55035, and the EN 61000 series for CE EMI/EMC compliance

• Experience with switch-mode power supplies

• Understanding of high-voltage design rules (creepage, clearance, isolation, protection)

• Experience designing around microcontrollers such as STM32: power sequencing, clocks, memory, and peripherals

• Familiar with CAN or CAN FD, or a similar industrial bus

• Comfortable using an oscilloscope, spectrum analyser, and power meter

Good to have

• CE marking experience, in particular the EMC, radio, and safety directives

• Experience in drones, robotics, aerospace, or defence

• Certification experience in other markets such as FCC, UKCA, or VCCI

• BLDC motor drive design (FOC, gate drivers)

• Experience with fiber optics or high-speed serial links

• Enough firmware skill to write your own bring-up code
