We are looking for an experienced
PCB Design & Hardware Development Engineer
to design, develop, and validate electronic systems for our drone avionics platform. The successful candidate will lead the hardware development of a companion/mission computer that interfaces with our flight controller, from schematic capture through to production-ready design.
You will join a dynamic, high-demand environment focused on reliability, safety, and performance — contributing directly to hardware that flies.
As a PCB Designer & Hardware Development Engineer you will
:
Lead schematic design and PCB layout
for multi-layer boards (6+ layers) used in embedded avionics systems, with tight size, weight, and power (SWaP) constraints
Apply EMI/EMC best practices
at the board level — including shielding, grounding, filtering, and signal integrity techniques — in accordance with DO-160 (and MIL-STD-461 where applicable)
Select components
based on aviation-grade requirements: extended temperature range, vibration/shock resistance, long-term availability, and reliability
Create and maintain
the Bill of Materials (BOM), design documentation, and release packages
Collaborate closely
with firmware/software and systems engineering teams to define hardware interfaces, requirements, and constraints
Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Testability (DFT)
, ensuring smooth transition from prototype to production
Support prototyping, board bring-up, debugging
, and hardware verification/validation
Prepare and oversee EMC testing
(conducted and radiated emissions, immunity tests) at external test facilities, driving designs toward first-pass compliance
Qualifications What would make you fit for the role:
Degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, or a related field
5+ years
of professional experience in PCB design and hardware development
Proficiency with industry-standard PCB design tools —
Altium Designer
preferred; KiCad, Cadence OrCAD/Allegro, or Eagle also accepted
Strong knowledge of
EMI/EMC principles
and PCB-level interference mitigation techniques
Experience with
high-speed digital design
, power supply design (DC-DC converters, LDOs), and mixed-signal circuits
Familiarity with common embedded communication interfaces:
SPI, I2C, UART, CAN / CAN FD, Ethernet
Ability to use simulation and analysis tools (SPICE, signal integrity, power integrity)
Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with ownership over the full hardware development cycle
Prefered Qualifications:
Experience in
avionics, aerospace, or safety-critical systems
Experience with
FPGA-based designs
or SoC integration
Familiarity with
thermal analysis
and mechanical integration of PCBs (enclosure fit, connector placement, thermal management)
Experience with
version control and lifecycle management
for hardware projects (Git, PLM systems)
Exposure to
certification processes
(EASA, FAA Part 23, or equivalent)
Master's degree in a relevant field
What we offer:
Flexibility: Hybrid model to maintain a healthy work-life balance
Continuous Learning: Learning budget and ongoing training opportunities
Offsite Trip and Team Socials: Team trip to a secret destination once per year
Private Health Insurance: Private health insurance on the companys group program;
Workplace: Pleasant work-space with a fun and relaxing playroom;
Health: Gym discount;
Personal Development: A great opportunity to grow and work with the most amazing people in the industry
