Electronics and Electrical Systems Engineer for UAV Platforms

Project overview

We are looking for an experienced Electronics and Electrical Systems Engineer for the development and integration of complex electronic systems for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). In this role, you will work on custom solutions from concept to commissioning.

Your responsibilities include the development, design, and validation of printed circuit boards, including schematic creation and PCB layout. You will define electrical system architectures for UAV platforms, including wiring, power distribution, and interfaces. Furthermore, you will be responsible for selecting and specifying electronic components such as sensors, actuators, controllers, and power supply systems.

Another focus is the integration of communication interfaces as well as RF and radio systems. You will perform component and functional tests and support FMEA analyses. The creation of comprehensive technical documentation such as schematics, PCB layouts, wiring diagrams, and bills of materials is also part of your responsibilities.

We expect profound knowledge in PCB design and printed circuit board layout (power, digital, mixed-signal) as well as confident command of ECAD tools such as Altium Designer or KiCad. Experience with circuit simulation (LTSpice) is required. You should be familiar with electrical system architecture, wiring harness construction, and power distribution, and have knowledge of relevant communication interfaces (CAN Bus, Ethernet, RS422/485). Experience with RF/radio systems and their hardware integration is advantageous. Confident handling of technical datasheets and component specifications is assumed.

English skills are required.
