Role Overview The UAV Electronic Systems Engineer will lead the design and integration of electronic control systems for UAVs. This is a hands-on, multidisciplinary role involving control systems architecture, embedded software development, and electromechanical integration. You will collaborate closely with aircraft and engine development teams to bring cutting-edge UAV technology demonstrators to life. Key Responsibilities
Design and develop the electronic control system architecture for of UAV propulsion and flight control systems
Integrate and configure flight controllers and engine control units with onboard avionics, sensors, and communication modules
Develop and implement embedded software/firmware for control, safety, and telemetry functions
Apply systems engineering principles to ensure seamless integration of electronics, software, and mechanical components
Support testing, debugging, and validation of integrated electromechanical UAV systems
Collaborate with internal teams and external partners to meet system-level performance and reliability goals
Document system design, software and hardware interfaces, and integration processes
Qualifications
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science/ Engineering, or a related field
Notable experience with electronic system design and embedded control systems for UAVs or robotic platforms
Proficiency in embedded software development, scripting, real-time operating systems, and software/hardware integration
Familiarity with electromechanical systems, sensors, communication protocols (CAN, UART, SPI, MAVLink, I2C), and PCB design
Experience with computer modeling and simulation of electro-mechanical systems (validate prior to build).
Experience working with UAV flight controllers, autopilot systems (e.g., PX4, ArduPilot)
History of hands-on work in a fast-paced, collaborative R&D environment
Self-driven, disciplined, committed to quality and meeting deadlines
