Pyka busca un Associate Electrical Engineer para unirse a su equipo de ingeniería. En este rol, contribuirás al diseño, desarrollo y prueba de subsistemas eléctricos críticos para sus aeronaves eléctricas autónomas. Trabajarás bajo la mentoría de ingenieros senior, aplicando tus conocimientos fundamentales a desafíos reales mientras ganas experiencia en electrónica de potencia, sistemas embebidos y hardware de vuelo.

Responsibilities

Contribute to the full PCBA design cycle (schematic capture, component selection, PCB layout) under the mentorship of senior engineers.
Assemble, bring up, and perform functional verification of PCBs in the lab.
Conduct bench testing, collect and analyze data, and support troubleshooting of electrical and embedded system issues.
Assist in the development of hardware for power systems, avionics, and sensors.
Create and maintain engineering documentation, including test procedures, design notes, and board bring-up reports.
Work closely with the Production team to bring designs from prototype design to our customers.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Mechanical, Software, and Flight Test) during system integration and field testing.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.
0–2 years of professional experience (relevant internship or co-op experience strongly preferred).
Strong foundational understanding of electronics lab equipment (oscilloscope, power supply, multimeter).
Hands-on experience with PCB layout and schematic capture tools (e.g., Altium, KiCad, Eagle).
Familiarity with Linux, embedded systems and C/C++ programming.
Strong problem-solving skills and a proactive, inquisitive attitude.

Nice to have

Hands-on experience from student design teams (Formula SAE, robotics, drones, solar car, etc.).
Familiarity with motor control concepts (FOC, PWM, inverters) or power electronics.
Exposure to safety-critical design principles or failure analysis (DFMEA).
Eagerness to learn and take ownership of small-to-medium-sized design tasks.
We understand that candidates bring different strengths and experiences, and you don’t need to meet every qualification to be considered. If this role excites you, we’d love to learn more about you. You may be a great fit even if your background doesn’t align perfectly with the list.
