If you’re driven by impact and want to build the future of UAV technology, you’ll find your place here.

Role Overview:

Hardware Design Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Design hardware schematics based on detailed product and system-level requirements.
• Identify and source the right components for performance, cost, and supply chain optimization.
• Coordinate or delegate PCB layout tasks to the internal layout design team and oversee reviews.
• Collaborate with firmware, mechanical, and manufacturing teams for end-to-end integration.
• Validate hardware designs through testing, bring-up, and debugging of prototypes.
• Maintain clear documentation for schematics, BOMs, layout files, and test procedures.
• Take ownership of hardware deliverables under tight timelines and high expectations.
• Continuously refine the design process and stay up to date with industry trends and tools.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics/Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
• Proven experience in schematic design using Altium Designer, KiCad, or any modern EDA tool.
• Comfortable working in a high-speed, iterative development environment.
• Strong debugging, analytical, and documentation skills.
• Ability to adapt to changing requirements and take initiative independently.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with high-speed digital, mixed-signal, or RF designs.
• Knowledge of EMI/EMC best practices and industrial standards (IPC, ISO, MIL-STD).
• Exposure to embedded systems or firmware-hardware bring-up.

What You Can Expect:

• A fast-paced, mission-driven work environment where your contributions directly impact real-world systems.
• A

  flexible work schedule

  and

  generous leave policy

  — we care about outcomes, not hours.
• While work-life balance is respected, we expect commitment during occasional crunch periods (typically less than 5% of the time).
• Ownership, autonomy, and the opportunity to grow rapidly across multiple technology domains.
• A close-knit team that values

  transparency, initiative, and impact

  over hierarchy.
