Job
Description
About The Opportunity We are a fast-growing player in the Aerospace & Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) industry, focused on designing next-generation avionics and electro-mechanical hardware for autonomous aircraft. Our R&D team tackles cutting-edge challenges at the intersection of electronics, robotics, and mechanical engineering to push the frontier of flight safety, reliability, and performance. Role & Responsibilities Own the full life-cycle design of high-precision electro-mechanical subsystems for UAV avionics, from concept and simulation through prototyping, verification, and release to manufacturing. Define component selection (sensors, actuators, microcontrollers such as STM32, PCB stack-ups) and validate them against thermal, vibration, and EMI/EMC requirements. Integrate embedded electronics with mechanical assemblies by collaborating closely with firmware, aerodynamics, and manufacturing teams to meet weight, tolerance-stack-up, and DFM targets. Develop and execute verification plans, FMEA, and HALT/HASS tests to ensure regulatory compliance and mission-critical reliability. Drive continuous design-for-manufacture and design-for-serviceability improvements, creating reusable module libraries and documentation. Mentor junior engineers and champion first-principles problem-solving and safety-critical design best practices across the organization. Skills & Qualifications Must-Have Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electronics, Mechatronics, Robotics, or Avionics Engineering. 6 + yrs hands-on experience designing electro-mechanical or robotic systems for aerospace, defense, or similar safety-critical domains. Strong analog/digital circuit design skills and embedded C/C++ development proficiency. Proven PCB layout review/modification experience and familiarity with ECAD/MCAD co-design workflows. Working knowledge of parametric CAD (e.g., Creo, SolidWorks) plus GD&T and tolerance analysis. Demonstrated record of taking hardware from prototype to flight-ready production, including rigorous test planning and risk mitigation. Preferred Experience with avionics standards (DO-254/DO-160) or UAV flight-control architectures. Familiarity with robotics kinematics, control-systems tuning, and MIL-STD environmental testing. Prior leadership of cross-functional design reviews and supplier qualification programs.
