About the role


You are the person who turns ideas into hardware. From the initial schematic to flight test, you own the full stack: circuit design, PCB layout, harness design, and the firmware that brings it all to life. If you love making electronics work and flying rockets, this job is for you.

What You'll Do
  • Design analog and digital circuits for flight-critical embedded systems — power, sensing, actuation, communication
  • Lay out PCBs for high-reliability, flight-weight applications where every gram and every trace matters
  • Design and build electrical harnesses that survive vibration, temperature swings, and high-g flight
  • Write firmware in C/C++ (and whatever else the job demands) for the microcontrollers and FPGAs that run these boards
  • Own your hardware from breadboard to flight — debug it, test it, and sign off on it
What We're Looking For
  • Solid fundamentals in analog and digital circuit design
  • Experience with PCB design tools
  • Comfortable writing and debugging embedded firmware
  • You enjoy the full loop: design, build, break it, fix it, fly it
  • Bonus: experience with aerospace hardware, navigation/flight control systems, or RF systems
This is a hands-on role and you'll be building real hardware. If you love the moment when something you designed powers up for the first time, you'll fit right in.
