The Role

As a PCB Design Engineer, you will play a key role in the design, development, and integration of embedded electrical systems for uncrewed aircraft platforms. You will architect and validate flight-critical circuits, power systems, avionics interfaces, and embedded electronics that must perform reliably in rugged aerospace conditions.

Serving as a domain expert within the hardware team, you'll lead PCB schematic capture, layout, stack-up design, signal integrity, and manufacturability while working closely with Mechanical, Software, and GNC teams to deliver fully integrated systems. This is a hands-on role ideal for engineers who thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy solving complex challenges involving sensors, radios, power regulation, and embedded computing.

About the Company

Develops advanced aerospace and defense technologies supporting next-generation uncrewed systems. The team works across disciplines to deliver reliable, high-performance hardware and software solutions for mission-critical applications. Here, engineers are empowered to take ownership, collaborate deeply, and see their designs move from concept to real-world deployment.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop multi-layer PCBs for avionics, power regulation, and sensor interfaces
• Perform schematic capture and PCB layout using Altium (or equivalent tools)
• Optimize signal integrity, controlled impedance, and thermal performance
• Own subsystem architecture, component selection, documentation, and release
• Support DFM/DFT reviews and coordinate with manufacturing partners
• Participate in and support CoDR, PDR, and CDR design reviews
• Support prototype bring-up, board-level debugging, and field issue resolution
• Integrate sensors, radios, autopilots, GPS, datalinks, and embedded compute platforms
• Support environmental, vibration, thermal, HIL/SIL, and flight-test activities
• Collaborate cross-functionally with GNC, Software, Mechanical, Autonomy, Production, and Test teams

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
• 3-5 years of PCB design experience (Altium preferred) in aerospace, defense, or UAS
• Strong background in high-speed digital, mixed-signal, and power integrity design
• Experience with controlled impedance routing, stack-up design, and IPC standards
• Proficiency with DRC, signal integrity analysis, and laboratory test equipment
• Experience owning designs from architecture through integration and release
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and cross-disciplinary communication skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
• Rigid-flex PCB design experience
• Familiarity with MIL-STD-810 or DO-160
• Experience with RF layout, grounding, and shielding
• Background in safety-critical hardware, FMEA, or reliability analysis
• Experience developing test fixtures or automated validation tools

Benefits

• Competitive compensation

• Compensation is based on experience, qualifications, geographic location, and internal alignment.

• Matching 401(k)
• Paid PTO and paid holidays
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Short- and long-term disability coverage
• HSA and FSA options
• Critical Care Plan
• Accident Care Plan
