We’re hiring an Electrical Engineer to design, build, and validate robust eVTOL drones for the next-generation of short- and medium-range reconnaissance. If you have at least 5-7 years of hands-on experience in RF, BMS, Power/PI, or embedded motor control, and you’re eager to grow across the stack we want to talk!
Essential Duties and Responsibilities
- Own schematics, layout, bring-up, and verification of projects
- Design, simulate, and debug RF front ends (e.g., 0.9–6 GHz radios, filters, LNAs/PAs, antennas, matching networks).
- Architect regulated power trees; perform PI analysis (DC drop, impedance targets, ripple, transient response).
- Implement BLDC/PMSM motor control (FOC, trapezoidal, sensored/sensorless) on MCUs; tune current/velocity/position loops.
- Develop embedded C/C++ firmware for real-time control, drivers, and diagnostics; integrate with higher-level systems.
- Drive PCB layout for SI/PI/RF constraints: stackup, return paths, stitching vias, diff-pair routing, creepage/clearance.
- Plan and execute test campaigns: DVT/EMI/EMC/ESD/thermal; use lab gear (VNA, spectrum analyzer, DSO, power analyzer).
- Design and validate Battery Management Systems (BMS): cell balancing, protection and safety (OV/UV, OC/OT), SoC/SoH estimation, coulomb counting, pack telemetry, contactor/relay control, charging profiles, and thermal management.
- Write clear documentation: design notes, test reports, and manufacturing/bring-up procedures.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with mechanical, firmware, and manufacturing on design trade-offs, reliability, and producibility.
Required Qualifications
- BS/MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field.
- Minimum 5-7 years of professional experience in a device-oriented electrical engineering role.
- Solid foundation in at least one of the following: RF, BMS, PCB layout, power/PI, embedded systems, mixed-signal, or motor control.
- Comfortable with test equipment like multimeters, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and vector network analyzers
- Proficiency with at least one of: Altium (schematic/layout), MATLAB/Python for analysis, or SPICE/EM/PI tools.
- Ability to own features end-to-end and communicate technical decisions clearly.
Additional Desired Qualifications
- RF: Antenna design/tuning, over-the-air testing, MIMO, coexistence, link budgets, regulatory (FCC/ETSI).
- Power/PI: Buck/boost/PFC, gate-drive design, magnetics selection, thermal design, battery systems, pre-compliance EMI fixes.
- Layout: High-speed SerDes/USB/MIPI, controlled impedance, length matching, HDI, DFM/DFT for volume builds.
- Embedded: RTOS, bootloaders, motor-control libraries (CMSIS-DSP, ST/Xilinx/TI)
- Controls: System identification, FOC tuning, observers, Kalman/PLL techniques, torque/position control.
- Compliance & reliability: HALT/HASS, DO-160/IEC/UL standards, environmental sealing, conformal coat, potting.
- Domain: Robotics, drones/UAVs, electromechanical actuation, or autonomy stacks.
Pay: $132,000.00 - $170,000.00 per year
