Sr. Electrical Engineers at Dedrone have full design ownership over next‑generation cUAS technology from conceptualization through production, and their work is highly visible to senior executives. This role emphasizes electrical system architecture, PCB design, firmware integration, RF and power systems, and system‑level verification.
Job Responsibility:
Lead electrical system and subsystem development from concept through production, ensuring designs meet safety, EMC, and reliability standards
Define electrical architectures for sensors, radios, power distribution, and control electronics for cUAS platforms
Design and review schematics and perform PCB layout for mixed‑signal and RF boards
partner with mechanical for packaging and thermal constraints
Develop, validate, and optimize power systems (battery management, DC/DC, power sequencing) and ensure robust operation under shock, vibration, and extreme temperatures
Implement and integrate embedded firmware for real‑time control, sensor fusion, communications stacks, and boot/load mechanisms
Perform hardware bring‑up, debugging, and system integration
use lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers) to characterize performance
Conduct electrical analysis including signal integrity, power integrity, EMI/EMC mitigation, thermal considerations, and reliability testing
Produce high‑fidelity prototypes and iterate quickly to qualify designs
develop test plans and lead verification and validation activities
Collaborate regularly with domestic and international stakeholders across engineering, product, and manufacturing teams
Rigorously document and manage electrical design specifications, BOMs, firmware releases, test reports, and compliance evidence (e.g., EMC, safety)
Requirements:
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
Proven experience in electrical design and system integration for complex hardware products—ideally in aerospace, defense, robotics, or wireless systems
Proficiency with schematic capture and PCB layout tools (e.g., Altium, OrCAD, KiCad) and experience with DFM/DFX practices
Strong embedded firmware experience in C/C++ (RTOS and bare‑metal), bootloaders, and hardware abstraction layers
familiarity with microcontrollers (ARM Cortex family, ESP32, STM32) and single‑board computers (Raspberry Pi) a plus
Hands‑on experience with RF front‑ends, antenna integration, and familiarity with wireless protocols relevant to cUAS (Wi‑Fi, LTE, custom radios)
experience with spectrum analysis and RF test equipment
Expertise in power electronics design: battery management systems, DC/DC converters, power sequencing, and thermal management for electronics
Solid understanding of signal integrity, power integrity, EMI/EMC mitigation techniques, and relevant test/qualification methods
Experience with schematic/PCB review processes, design reviews, and partner manufacturing to move designs to production
Familiarity with MIL‑STD, DO‑178/DO‑254 concepts or other ruggedization and regulatory requirements for defense or industrial hardware is preferred
Strong analytical and troubleshooting abilities
comfort debugging at the board and system level
Excellent communication skills to collaborate with cross‑functional teams and present technical tradeoffs to stakeholders
Ability to work effectively in a fast‑paced, dynamic environment with high levels of ambiguity
Nice to have:
Familiarity with MIL‑STD, DO‑178/DO‑254 concepts or other ruggedization and regulatory requirements for defense or industrial hardware
Familiarity with microcontrollers (ARM Cortex family, ESP32, STM32) and single‑board computers (Raspberry Pi)
