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

Design, analyze, document, test, and troubleshoot electronic assemblies at the circuit board through integrated electro-mechanical level. Collaborate with a cross-functional team of electrical, mechanical, software, manufacturing, and test engineers as the hardware expert. Drive hardware improvements through benchtop, environmental, and on-aircraft testing. 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
• Strong written and verbal communication skills and ability to work within a team
• Methodical problem diagnosis, documentation, and resolution skills for electronic hardware

Preferred Criteria

• Experience with the full electronics product lifecycle from conceptual design through production
• Hands-on experience with analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuit design, analysis, testing, and debugging
• Experience designing electronics to meet rigorous environmental standards (aerospace, military, automotive, or industrial)
• Proficiency with Python and/or MATLAB for analysis, data review, and scripting

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

This role is on-site in Mountain View, CA.

Willingness to travel 10% of the time is required.

The estimated salary range is $110,000 to $168,000 per year, plus cash and stock options, benefits, and other perks. We offer competitive compensation based on experience, expertise, market conditions, location, and pay equity. Our benefits include stock options, medical insurance, 401k, great colleagues, and a casual work environment.
