About the team

Your mission

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain system-level architecture focusing on hardware components (power, communication, avionics, payload, propulsion).
• Define and document electrical, mechanical, and data interfaces between subsystems.
• Support selection and validation of key components — sensors, controllers, converters, antennas, and wiring.
• Coordinate integration of electronic modules into the airframe together with mechanical and electronics teams.
• Prepare and maintain wiring diagrams, interface control documents (ICDs), and BOMs.
• Plan and supervise integration, bench, and flight tests of hardware systems.
• Identify and resolve issues related to signal integrity, power distribution, or mechanical fit.
• Work with QA and Test teams to validate performance and reliability of hardware assemblies.
• Analyze telemetry and test data to confirm system behavior.
• Collaborate with hardware, software, and production engineers to ensure system consistency.
• Translate system-level requirements into implementable hardware tasks.
• Participate in design reviews and contribute to risk analysis and mitigation.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in system integration or hardware development (UAVs, robotics, or embedded systems).
• Strong understanding of electronics fundamentals — power, sensors, communication interfaces (CAN, UART, Ethernet).
• Familiarity with autopilots, flight controllers, and UAV subsystems.
• Experience with wiring, harness design, and hardware assembly documentation.
• Ability to read and create schematics and mechanical drawings.
• Hands-on experience with prototype testing and debugging.
• Intermediate and higher level of English.

Nice to have

• Experience with UAV flight testing or telemetry systems.
• Knowledge of EMI/EMC principles and power management.
• Familiarity with Altium, SolidWorks, or similar design tools.
• Understanding of system-level verification and validation processes.
