Responsibilities

Own Hardware from Concept to Code: You will drive the entire lifecycle for critical aircraft electronics. This means translating requirements into schematics, leading PCB layout, and then bringing your own boards to life.You will write the low-level firmware (C/C++), perform the initial board bring-up, and develop the code that makes your hardware perform its mission

Roll Up Your Sleeves and Build: This is a hands-on role. You will be physically wiring, soldering, and assembling prototypes. You'll build test harnesses, troubleshoot hardware on the bench and on the aircraft, and implement design improvements in real-time

Solve System-Level Challenges: As the electrical engineering lead on cross-functional projects, you will work intimately with our mechanical, software, and autonomy experts. You'll ensure seamless integration, optimize for Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP), and ruggedize systems (IPXX standards) for real-world conditions

Tackle High-Energy Power Systems: Design, integrate, and validate high power density and high current discharge battery solutions. You will be instrumental in ensuring the performance, safety, and endurance of our aircraft's core power system

Validate and Fly: You will support system validation through rigorous environmental testing (thermal, vibration, EMI/EMC) and be directly involved in field operations and flight testing, seeing the immediate results of your work
