UAV Electronics System Engineer

Role Overview
The UAV Electronic Systems Engineer will lead the design and integration of electronic control systems for UAVs. This is a hands-on, multidisciplinary role involving control systems architecture, embedded software development, and electromechanical integration. You will collaborate closely with aircraft and engine development teams to bring cutting-edge UAV technology demonstrators to life.
Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop the electronic control system architecture for of UAV propulsion and flight control systems
• Integrate and configure flight controllers and engine control units with onboard avionics, sensors, and communication modules
• Develop and implement embedded software/firmware for control, safety, and telemetry functions
• Apply systems engineering principles to ensure seamless integration of electronics, software, and mechanical components
• Support testing, debugging, and validation of integrated electromechanical UAV systems
• Collaborate with internal teams and external partners to meet system-level performance and reliability goals
• Document system design, software and hardware interfaces, and integration processes

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science/ Engineering, or a related field
• Notable experience with electronic system design and embedded control systems for UAVs or robotic platforms
• Proficiency in embedded software development, scripting, real-time operating systems, and software/hardware integration
• Familiarity with electromechanical systems, sensors, communication protocols (CAN, UART, SPI, MAVLink, I2C), and PCB design
• Experience with computer modeling and simulation of electro-mechanical systems (validate prior to build).
• Experience working with UAV flight controllers, autopilot systems (e.g., PX4, ArduPilot)
• History of hands-on work in a fast-paced, collaborative R&D environment
• Self-driven, disciplined, committed to quality and meeting deadlines
