You’ll be joining a high-calibre technical team and taking end-to-end ownership of electrical and electronics development across the platform. This is a high-impact role in a fast-paced environment, offering the opportunity to work on advanced aerial robotics systems and help shape a next-generation UAS product.
Working cross-functionally with mechanical and software teams, you will design and deliver robust, scalable electrical systems while driving certification strategies and quality improvements across the product lifecycle.
Key Responsibilities:
- Own electrical design from concept through schematic, layout, validation, and integration.
- Collaborate with mechanical and software teams to define system requirements and ensure seamless integration.
- Lead component selection with a view to performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
- Build and test PCBs in-house, taking designs from prototype to production.
- Debug, validate, and resolve issues in development and fielded systems.
- Take charge of certification planning and execution, coordinating internal and external partners as needed.
- Identify and onboard suppliers or labs to support testing, manufacturing, and compliance efforts.
- Support continuous improvement of development processes with an eye toward quality and scale.
- Mentor interns or junior engineers, contributing to knowledge sharing across the team.

The ideal candidate will have:
- A track record of designing complex electronic systems for UAV or flying robotic platforms
- Deep understanding of analog/digital circuit design, power electronics, and communication protocols such as UART, SPI, CAN, and I2C.
- Strong proficiency with PCB design and layout tools (e.G., Altium or similar).
- Confidence in testing and debugging electronics using lab tools such as oscilloscopes and logic analyzers.
- Previous experience working through regulatory approvals or certification efforts in general markets.
- An eye for scalability, from component choice to manufacturability and long-term robustness.
- Exposure to RF design, wireless communication systems, or drone platforms would be a strong asset.
- Experience in startups or high-growth engineering teams is also a plus.
