Descrizione del lavoro

REDWIRE DEFENSE TECH is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer, PCB Design to lead the architecture, design, and validation of embedded electrical systems for uncrewed aircraft platforms. You will own subsystem requirements, select components, and ensure signal integrity, power, and rugged environmental robustness.

You'll collaborate across GNC, Software, Mechanical, and Production teams, perform schematic capture in Altium, review designs, and support flight tests and environmental testing.

Competenze

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or related field required.
• 4-7 years of PCB design experience for aerospace, defense or UAS applications.
• Strong knowledge of high-speed digital design, power distribution, and mixed-signal PCB layouts.
• Familiarity with IPC standards, controlled impedance routing, and stack-up design.
• Experience with design rule checks (DRC) and signal integrity analysis tools.
• Demonstrated ownership of subsystem-level development (architecture test integration release).
• Experience supporting flight test, field troubleshooting, or operational unmanned systems.
• High-speed routing, differential pairs, controlled impedance.
• Thermal and mechanical considerations for ruggedized boards.
• Understanding of power integrity and decoupling strategies.
• Ability to interpret system schematics and translate into PCB layouts.
• Understanding of UAS electrical architectures, autopilot interfaces, and avionics integration.
• Experience with oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, and environmental test setups.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to troubleshoot complex electrical issues.
• Excellent cross-disciplinary communication and collaboration.
• Detail-oriented, organized, and comfortable balancing multiple priorities.

Mansioni

• Design and develop multi-layer PCBs for avionics, power regulation, and sensor interfaces.
• Perform schematic capture and PCB layout using Altium (or equivalent), ensuring compliance with aerospace standards.
• Optimize signal integrity, impedance control, and thermal management in PCB designs.
• Collaborate with electrical engineers to translate system requirements into PCB-level implementations.
• Support DFM/DFT reviews and coordinate with manufacturing for board builds.
• Conduct design reviews (CoDR, PDR, CDR) focused on PCB aspects.
• Assist in prototype bring-up and troubleshooting at the board level.
• Own subsystem requirements, architecture, component selection, schematic creation, and design documentation.
• Develop and review PCB designs, ensuring manufacturability, signal integrity, and environmental robustness.
• Integrate sensors, radios, autopilots, datalinks, GPS modules, payload interfaces, and embedded computer platforms (e.g., Jetson, STM32, PIC, etc.).
• Support environmental, vibration, thermal, and electrical testing, including benchtop validation, HIL/SIL testing, and flight test preparation.
• Collaborate cross-functionally across GNC, Software, Mechanical, Autonomy, Production, and Test teams to ensure seamless integration.
• Participate in design reviews (CoDR, PDR, CDR), risk assessments, and reliability evaluations.
• Diagnose and resolve complex field issues related to avionics, power, sensors, and embedded electronics.
