JobType: full-time
We are seeking an experienced hardware engineering lead to drive the design, development, and validation of advanced power electronics and mixed-signal systems for UAV and aerospace applications. This role involves full product lifecycle ownership-from requirements and architecture to prototyping, testing, and production-while ensuring compliance with stringent military and EMI/EMC standards.
Requirements:
Key Responsibilities

• Lead the architecture, schematic design, PCB development, and validation of high-reliability hardware systems.
• Design high-power and mixed-signal electronics, including motor controllers, power converters, sensor interfaces, and embedded hardware.
• Develop multilayer PCB layouts (10+ layers) with controlled impedance, high-speed routing, differential pairs, and thermal optimization.
• Own end-to-end hardware delivery: requirements, simulation, prototyping, testing, certification, release to manufacturing.
• Ensure compliance with defence/aerospace standards such as MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-810, and equivalent qualification frameworks.
• Implement EMI/EMC mitigation strategies across design, layout, and enclosure levels.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (firmware, mechanical, systems, testing) to deliver mission-critical products.
• Conduct DFMEA, validation testing, thermal analysis, and design reviews for reliability and robustness.
• Integrate communication interfaces and sensors into embedded hardware platforms.

Required Expertise

• Strong hands-on experience in power stage design, thermal engineering, and EMI/EMC control.
• Deep knowledge of closed-loop control systems, sensor integration, and high-speed interfaces.
• Proven experience in aerospace/defence or mission-critical electronics environments.
• Proficiency in interfaces such as I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, RS232/RS485, USB, Ethernet, HDMI, MIPI CSI/DSI, etc.
