Job summary

Haast Autonomous is building an autonomous aircraft network for time-sensitive medical logistics. We’re seeking an Electrical Engineer to own the avionics, power-distribution, communications, and electrical integration architecture of our aircraft.

You will design reliable electrical systems for high-power electric VTOL aircraft, translate system requirements into schematics and harness documentation, select and validate components, and support aircraft through assembly, ground testing, and

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, mechatronics, or a related field.
Experience designing and integrating electrical or avionics systems.
Strong understanding of power electronics, embedded systems, digital communications, and electrical protection.
Ability to create and review schematics, wiring diagrams, pinout tables, and engineering drawings.
Experience using oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, power supplies, electronic loads, and other lab equipment.
Experience troubleshooting complex electrical systems at component and system levels.
Ability to work directly with hardware and support hands-on aircraft integration.
Strong technical documentation and configuration-management habits.

Responsibilities

Design the aircraft’s avionics and electrical power architecture.
Develop system block diagrams, schematics, wiring diagrams, connector pinouts, and harness drawings.
Size and select wiring, connectors, fuses, contactors, power-distribution components, regulators, and protective devices.
Integrate flight controllers, propulsion systems, batteries, sensors, radios, navigation systems, actuators, payload systems, and onboard computers.
Design electrical interfaces for high-voltage propulsion and low-voltage avionics systems.
Develop grounding, shielding, isolation, and EMI/EMC strategies.
Perform voltage-drop, current, thermal, power-budget, and failure-mode analyses.
Define electrical requirements, interface-control documents, and acceptance-test procedures.
Design or oversee the development of custom PCBs, interface boards, power-distribution boards, and test equipment.
Conduct bench testing, hardware-in-the-loop testing, ground testing, and flight-test support.
Diagnose electrical, avionics, communications, and power-system failures.
Work closely with mechanical, aerospace, controls, software, manufacturing, and flight-test engineers.
Review technician-built harnesses and electrical assemblies for compliance with engineering documentation.
Manage component obsolescence, lead-time risks, design changes, and configuration control.
Build scalable electrical design, verification, and documentation processes.
