Job description

We're building safety-enhancing technology for aviation that will save lives. Automated aviation systems will enable a future where air transportation is safer, more convenient and fundamentally transformative to the way goods — and eventually people — move around the planet. We are a team of mission-driven engineers with experience across aerospace, robotics and self-driving cars working to make this future a reality.

The Avionics Hardware team is a small group of highly motivated engineers who develop the core compute, actuation, sensing, and power electronics products at the heart of our automation system. We enjoy cradle-to-grave hardware ownership and hands-on test, iteration, and deployment of our designs. As an Avionics Hardware Engineer, you will drive development of electrical components and sub-systems across our airborne and test platforms from the circuit-board level up through integrated systems and everything in between.

Responsibilities

In your role as Avionics Hardware Engineer, you will design, analyze, document, test, and troubleshoot electronic assemblies at the circuit board through integrated electro-mechanical level. You will collaborate with a cross-functional team of electrical, mechanical, software, manufacturing and test engineers as the expert on your hardware. You will drive improvements to the hardware through benchtop, environmental, and on-aircraft testing, and perform root-cause investigations to characterize, document, and rectify anomalous behavior in a safety-critical environment.

Basic Success Criteria

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or equivalent experience
• Demonstrated ability to complete and ship projects and deliverables
• Professional experience with ECAD tools such as Altium
• Ability to work within a team, including strong written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to methodically diagnose, document, and solve electronic hardware problems

Preferred Criteria

• Professional experience with the full electronics product life-cycle, from conceptual design through production
• Direct hands-on experience with analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuit design, analysis, test, and debug
• Experience designing electronics to meet rigorous environmental standards (aerospace, military, automotive, or harsh industrial)
• Proficiency with Python and/or MATLAB for analysis, data review, and test setup scripting

We're a growing, motivated, fast-paced team of avionics professionals. We move quickly, and everyone wears multiple hats. We're looking for someone who is diligent and detail-oriented who can join our team and make an immediate impact.
