Descrizione del lavoro

Swarm Aero is redefining air power, building the largest swarming UAV and the most versatile swarming aircraft network in the world. The company is moving quickly to launch the first aircraft designed specifically for swarming, as well as the Command & Control software to mobilize swarms of thousands of heterogeneous autonomous assets and empower human operators to achieve superhuman results.

The team has created and exited multiple startups, negotiated defense deals worth billions of dollars, and designed and built 30+ novel aircraft, with aerospace experience from Scaled Composites, Airbus, Archer Aviation, Blue Origin, and Boom Supersonic.

Swarm Aero is building autonomous UAV swarms that operate in contested environments where the electrical and avionics systems have to work every time. We need an engineer who can cross boundaries and work with all subsystems through avionics integration and validation. We need an engineer with the confidence to knock down bulkheads and build brackets to support electronics and harness assemblies from first flight to mass production

What You'll Do

Design and develop aircraft electrical systems including power distribution, wire harness routing, connector selection, and load analysis
Work with the mechanical team to integrate avionics devices and cabling into the airframe by specifying or creating necessary mounts, brackets, and shelving
Define avionics interface requirements and integration approach for avionics routed systems
Develop and maintain electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and ICDs using appropriate design tools
Collaborate with structures, mechanical, and systems engineering teams to ensure electrical routing, grounding, shielding, and EMI/EMC requirements are met
Support flight test anomaly investigation and drive root cause analysis on avionics and electrical faults
Contribute to airworthiness documentation and flight authorization packages

What We're Looking For

3+ years of avionics or aircraft electrical engineering experience on aerospace, defense, or UAS platforms
Hands-on experience with aircraft electrical system design including power distribution, wire harness design, and load analysis
Strong familiarity with aerospace connector families, cable families, and aerospace wiring practices.
Proficiency with wiring harness design tools such as Zuken, Capital, Artifact, or equivalent
Proficiency with cable routing tools such as Solidworks/Catia Electrical, NX Electrical, CreoParametric, or equivalent
Experience taking avionics or electrical systems from design through hardware integration and flight test
Comfortable working across hardware, software, and test disciplines in a fast-moving environment
US person status required; active security clearance a plus

Nice to Have

Experience specifically on UAS or unmanned aircraft programs
Experience scripting the interface between electrical wiring schematic and mechanical CAD routing tool with Python or other languages
Background in MIL-STD-461 testing, EMI/EMC analysis and mitigation on flight vehicles
Familiarity with DO160 electrical sections, MIL-STD-704, AS50881, and related standards
Familiarity with IPC/WHMA-A-620 harness acceptance standards
Exposure to defense programs or military airworthiness processes
Sheet-metal or composites design experience (professional or hobby)
PCB design or embedded electronics background (professional or hobby)
Scripting experience
