POSTED ON 12/16/2025

Build UAVs that change the world

Failure is not an option for fully-autonomous, safety-critical, multi-functional UAV flight systems, which is why we’re looking for excellent engineers to design hardware underlying Skycart's next-generation commercial drone platform.

Sample projects

  • Design an 8-layer PCB with a dozen system-on-chips, high-speed memory, analog circuitry, and a power supply including component selection, schematic capture, and a little PCB layout (we have a layout guru).
  • Rapidly prototype and debug complex multi-functional autopilot hardware, employing fine-pitch soldering and rework, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, datasheets, teamwork, and divine miracles
  • Design a payload sensor interface board optimized for cost and form-factor

Necessary Skills And Experience

  • Prior work in detailed mixed-signal electrical design involving microcontrollers, sensor acquisition, and power management in Altium Designer
  • Experience with first article board bringup, debugging, and design verification
  • Comfortable coding in C or C on embedded systems

Beneficial Skills And Experience

  • Responsibility for a product from cradle to grave, owning it from initial design until it’s in a customer’s hands (including field support)
  • Experience with regulatory standards or design in a regulated environment (Medical, MIL-STD, FAA) which requires fulfilling quality systems regulations in the design and development lifecycle
  • Experience designing hardware testing systems for production
  • Candidates must have authorization to work in the U.S.
