Electrical Engineer

Lumenier/GetFPV; Town of Florida (NY); On-site; USD 90,000 - 130,000; Full time

Job summary

Lumenier is seeking an Electrical Engineer to drive FPV systems and embedded hardware development. You will design analog and digital circuits, lay out multi-layer PCBs, and ensure robust hardware/software integration in a fast-paced drone tech environment.

You will bring concepts to life from schematic through bring-up and validation, while collaborating with vendors and contract manufacturers to optimize DFM/DFT and reliability. Prior FPV or RF experience is a plus.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• 3+ years hands-on experience in electrical or hardware engineering.

Responsibilities

• Take a design from concept through schematic, layout, bring-up, and validation.
• Interface hardware with embedded software environments (real-time systems, Linux-based systems, or RTOS).
• Collaborate with hardware and firmware teams to debug and validate hardware designs.
• Work with manufacturers/contractors on DFM/DFT considerations.
• Familiarity with FPV systems, open-source flight control stacks, and RF/video transmission concepts.
