Senior Electrical Engineer (All Genders)

Your Mission

You own the aircraft's electrical subsystem architecture—from high-voltage propulsion distribution down to precision sensor power rails and flight computer avionics. You aren't just designing a circuit board; you are building the nervous system and power backbone that keeps an aircraft stable and responsive under extreme flight loads and environmental stress.

Responsibilities

• Power Architecture Ownership: Own the aircraft's electrical subsystem architecture, high-current power distribution board (PDB) design, and avionics component selection.

• Laboratory Bring-Up & Signal Integrity: Lead laboratory board bring-up, resolve complex signal integrity anomalies, and harden circuits against electromagnetic interference (EMI) from high-power switching ESCs.

• Schematic & Multi-Layer PCB Design: Architect multi-layer, high-density PCBs adhering to strict mass, thermal, and IPC-2221/IPC-A-610 standards.

• Derating & Component Lifecycles: Own component selection, worst-case circuit analysis, thermal derating calculations, and power tree efficiency optimizations.

• Electrical ICDs: Define and document electrical Interface Control Documents (ICDs) interfacing powertrain, compute, datalink, and payload.

• Technical Mentorship: Mentor hardware team members and establish IPC design guidelines across all developmental circuit boards.

Required Skills

• 5–8 years of experience in hardware development, electronics design, and PCB layout for aerospace, robotics, or automotive applications.

• Proven track record bringing complex electromechanical systems through schematic, layout, fabrication, and flight qualification.

• Advanced proficiency in ECAD tools (Altium Designer / KiCad).

• Deep knowledge of switch-mode power supplies (SMPS), battery management systems, reverse-polarity protection, high-current switching, and transient suppression.

• Strong practical experience with lab equipment (high-speed oscilloscopes, electronic loads, thermal cameras).

• Professional working proficiency in English; NATO citizen.
