Job description

Company Overview

We are a rapidly growing technology startup focused on delivering next-generation drones for security and safety applications. Our company vertically integrates hardware and software to create leading edge capabilities in the UAV space, with a focus on saving lives.

We are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to design, develop, and deploy hardware that powers intelligent robotic UAS systems operating in real-world environments. In this role, you will work at the intersection of software, hardware, and autonomy—building robust, high-performance systems that integrate perception, planning, control, and communication.

You will collaborate closely with mechanical, software, and firmware engineers to take robotics software from simulation to fielded deployment.

Responsibilities

• Design embedded control electronics from concept to production, including hardware selection, schematic & PCB design, board bring-up, and system level integration.
• Troubleshoot issues that span the electrical and software boundaries, with solid skills using both lab equipment (Oscilloscopes, DMM, etc.) and software debugging tools.
• Work closely with other electrical, mechanical, software, firmware, and test engineers to deliver fully functional products.
• Work in a fast-paced environment supporting new developments, active deployments, and customer operated hardware.
• Concurrently manage involvement in multiple projects at various stages.

Required Qualifications

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.
• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent.
• 3+ years of experience designing, testing, and troubleshooting complex embedded systems and products.
• Demonstrated experience designing mixed signal circuits.
• Competence with test equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, debuggers, current-probes, and automation of tests.
• Exceptional organization and communication skills (both written and oral).
• Proficient with Altium Designer or equivalent electronic design automation design tools.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with autonomous systems (UAVs, UGVs, mobile robots, or manipulators)
• Experience with field testing, data logging, and performance analysis
