What are the responsibilities and job description for the Electrical Engineer position at Wing?
About Wing
Wing offers drone delivery as a safe, fast, and sustainable solution for last mile logistics. Consumer appetites for on-demand services are increasing, but current delivery methods are inefficient, costly, and contribute to road accidents and air pollution. Wing’s fleet of highly automated delivery drones can transport small packages directly from businesses to homes on-demand, in minutes. We design, build, and operate our aircraft, and offer drone delivery services on three continents. Our technology is designed to be easy to integrate into existing delivery and logistics networks, offering a scalable drone delivery solution for a broad range of businesses. Wing is a part of Google's parent company, Alphabet, and our mission is to create the preferred means of delivery for the planet. To do this, we must build a workforce that's representative of the global communities that we serve. If you're ready to do the greatest work of your life, come join us.
About The Role
Wing is looking for an Electrical Engineer to join our Electrical and Embedded Engineering Team. This role will be based in Palo Alto, CA. As an Electrical Engineer, you will be part of our nimble design team that is tasked with building unmanned, autonomous delivery vehicles and their support systems. In this role, you will own the end-to-end product lifecycle - from product concept (board design and physical layout) all the way to product mass production. You will also use your solid hardware design skills coupled with your knowledge of system architecture and software considerations for embedded devices. You will own board design from concept to physical layout, and work cross-functionally on system integration.
What You’ll Do
