Electrical Engineer, Hardware Test (R5099)

As an Electrical Engineer on the Hardware Test team, you will design and automate test systems for UAV components, working on PCB design, Python scripting, and environmental testing to ensure reliability. You will own test systems from concept to validation, collaborate on design reviews, and contribute to mission-critical hardware validation.

Responsibilities

• Design and own test systems for critical UAV components and subsystems, from concept to validation.
• Work across multiple EE disciplines, including power electronics, RF, communications, and system integration.
• Develop PCBs to interface between test stands and the device-under-test (DUT).
• Build custom test fixtures integrating relays, PLCs, PCBAs, and harnessing for automated and high-fidelity testing.
• Automate test sequences using Python, ensuring repeatability, efficiency, and scalability.
• Collaborate in cross-functional design reviews, advocating for testability improvements that streamline hardware validation.
• Adapt and innovate in a fast-moving, high-stakes environment, where your work directly impacts mission success.
• Other duties as assigned.

Requirements

• B.S. in Electrical Engineering or equivalent hands-on experience OR you are an undergraduate, graduate or PhD student expected to graduate in 2026.
• Strong foundation in electrical, mechanical, and software engineering principles.
• Experience in multidisciplinary hardware projects—whether through internships, jobs, clubs, personal projects, or research.
• A track record of ownership, innovation, and delivering results in complex technical environments.
• A team-first mindset, holding yourself and others to high standards, while being adaptable and solution-oriented.
• A track record of working hard, being a trustworthy teammate, holding yourself and others to high standards, and being kind to others.

Nice to have

• Proficiency in Python or other scripting languages for automation.
• Experience with PCB design tools (Altium, KiCAD, Eagle, etc.).
• Familiarity with CAD tools (SolidWorks, NX, CATIA) for mechanical fixture design.
• Ability to problem-solve under pressure and pivot quickly in a dynamic, fast-paced engineering environment.

Benefits

• Pay within range listed + Bonus + Benefits + Equity
• Pay within range listed above + temporary benefits package (applicable after 60 days of employment)
