Electrical Engineer

Overview

• Design and develop schematics for drone and peripheral subsystems, focusing on MCU integration, power management, and sensor interfaces.
• Create multi-layer PCB layouts emphasizing signal integrity, EMI mitigation, and thermal performance in compact designs.
• Support communication interfaces including CAN, UART, SPI, I2C, Gigabit Ethernet, and PCIe.
• Conduct DFM and DFA reviews to ensure scalable, production-ready hardware designs.
• Manage component selection, BOM tracking, and qualification of replacement components.
• Coordinate with PCB fabricators and manufacturers during prototyping and inspection processes.
• Collaborate with embedded systems engineers for hardware validation and debugging.
• Maintain organized hardware libraries including schematic symbols and PCB footprints.
• Document design revisions, validation procedures, and engineering changes throughout the product lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities & Duties

• Design and layout multi-layer mixed-signal PCBs with integrated microcontrollers.
• Ensure compliance with IPC standards and high-current PCB layout best practices.
• Collaborate with vendors for stack-up planning, manufacturing reviews, and DRC validation.
• Conduct board bring-up and debugging using oscilloscopes and related lab equipment.
• Manage hardware revisions and priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Develop hardware for UAVs, robotics platforms, or battery-powered autonomous systems.
• Integrate PCB designs with mechanical CAD workflows and validate mechanical constraints.
• Perform manual PCB assembly, rework, and in-house hardware modifications.
• Support the lifecycle management of hardware designs and components.

Job Requirements

• Bachelor of Science (BS) in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 2+ years of experience designing multi-layer mixed-signal PCBs.
• Proficiency with Altium Designer; experience with KiCad or OrCAD is valued.
• Strong understanding of signal integrity, PDN design, and PCB layout best practices.
• Familiarity with IPC standards and PCB fabrication processes.
• Experience with UAVs, robotics platforms, or battery-powered systems is preferred.
• Hands-on experience with PCB assembly, rework, and debugging tools.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a dynamic environment.
• Self-driven mindset with strong problem-solving skills.
