your mission
We’re looking for a hands-on and experienced Hardware Engineer to join our robotics development team and play a key role in building the electronic systems that power our indoor inspection drones. This is a multidisciplinary role in a fast-paced mechatronics environment, involving everything from high-speed digital design to power electronics and sensor integration. You’ll be working closely with mechanical and electronics engineers to develop robust, compact, and high-performance drone platforms. We're looking for someone who can contribute immediately and grow with the team as the company evolves.
- Design and develop custom electronics and PCBs, including high-speed digital interfaces (e.g., USB, camera signals).
- Develop power electronics systems, including battery management (BMS), power distribution, and motor control circuits.
- Integrate and test diverse sensor payloads, such as cameras, IMUs, and other perception modules.
- Collaborate with mechanical engineers to ensure tight integration of electronics into compact drone assemblies, considering thermal, EMI, and mechanical constraints.
- Own schematic design, PCB layout, component selection, and hardware bring-up.
- Lead and participate in design reviews, ensuring performance, manufacturability, and robustness.
- Debug hardware at both board and system levels using standard lab tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, etc.).
- Interface with suppliers and manufacturing partners for prototyping and production builds.
- Support hardware testing, documentation, and reliability validation of designs.
your profile
- Master’s degree in Electronics Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
- 4–7 years of experience in electronics development, ideally in robotics, drones, or embedded systems.
- Strong background in high-speed digital design and PCB layout using tools like Altium Designer or KiCad.
- Proven experience with power electronics: battery systems, BMS, motor drivers, and power regulation.
- Familiarity with integrating and testing sensor payloads (e.g., cameras, IMUs, range sensors).
- Confident in hardware bring-up, system debugging, and cross-functional collaboration.
- Understanding of mechanical integration challenges in mechatronic systems.
- Well-organized with strong documentation and communication skills.
- Bonus: Exposure to embedded Linux, ROS, or firmware development environments.
- Bonus: Familiarity with design for manufacturing (DFM) and testing processes.
