Jobs at Teal

Lead NPI for new UAV systems from concept through production ramp (EVT/DVT/PVT/LRIP). Develop and validate manufacturing/test processes, tooling, automation, and documentation. Drive DFM/DFA/DFT, PFMEA, control plans, Lean improvements, root cause analysis, and cross-functional alignment to ensure manufacturability, quality, scalability, and compliance with aerospace/defense regulations.

Perform pre-flight inspections and maintenance, conduct UAS flight testing and data collection, ensure FAA compliance and safety, perform risk assessments, operate multi-rotor and fixed-wing sUAS, collaborate with engineers, and provide feedback for system improvements.

Manage site calibration program, chair Material Review Board, control nonconforming material, perform AS9100-aligned internal audits, support corrective actions and continuous improvement, maintain quality records, and collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain to ensure product and process compliance.

Develop, maintain, and debug C/C++ system services on embedded Linux SOMs for drone platforms. Work on networking, boot/init, logging, radio and MAVLink integrations, diagnostics, and collaboration with flight software, manufacturing, test, and QA teams to ensure reliable production systems.

Lead global product vision and roadmap for UAS platforms and supporting software. Manage product lifecycle, localization, multi-site manufacturing enablement, and configuration control. Lead and scale a product management team, align roadmaps with engineering and program management, translate operator needs into prioritized requirements, and drive revenue across defense and commercial markets.

Lead development and execution of mechanical and mechatronic verification and validation testing from prototype through production. Own verification strategy, design and commission test rigs, program PLCs, integrate hardware and controls, run EVT/DVT/PVT, analyze failures, and drive corrective actions across cross-functional teams.

Lead and grow a mechanical engineering team to develop, verify, and release UAV/quadcopter platforms. Own departmental strategy, resource planning, BOM and PLM management, DFM/DFA/DFT practices, cross-functional integration, supplier relationships, NPI and manufacturing scale-up, and continuous improvement to meet performance, cost, schedule, and quality goals.

Senior-level electrical engineer responsible for designing and owning multiple UAV subsystems from concept to production. Duties include high-complexity PCBA design, EMI/EMC compliance and testing, EVT procedure creation and execution, troubleshooting, PCB layout, manufacturing test development, sustaining engineering, and cross-functional coordination.

Develop and optimize native C++ Android components for ground control stations, focusing on real-time telemetry, MAVLink communications, JNI boundaries, performance tuning, Qt/QML UI work, build systems, and field support to ensure reliable drone control across varied Android hardware.

Lead verification and validation testing of sUAS platforms: design and execute test cases, develop test automation, analyze results, report findings, ensure FAA/FCC and safety compliance, collaborate with engineering/manufacturing/pilots, estimate testing effort, and improve QA processes.

Own and maintain the Ubuntu-based embedded Linux firmware stack for a Qualcomm QRB5165 drone platform. Maintain Yocto/BitBake build system, optimize CI/CD Jenkins pipelines, perform rootfs post-processing and OS hardening, configure systemd/networking/udev for headless devices, remediate security findings, implement monitoring integrations, and tune reliability and boot performance for ARM64 embedded hardware.

Designs, optimizes, and implements manufacturing processes and workflows to improve efficiency, quality, and cost. Develops production layouts, tooling, SOPs, and testing procedures; conducts root cause analysis and process improvements; uses CAD/CAM; collaborates with engineering, production, quality, and maintenance to drive continuous improvement.

Ensure supplier quality and reliability by developing supplier quality processes, conducting audits, managing KPIs, driving RCCA for non-conformances, supporting NPI and engineering changes, and maintaining supplier documentation and compliance.

Design, develop, and test brushless motor propulsion and ESC power electronics for UAVs. Tasks include motor driver selection, ESC PCB/layout design, motor-controller integration, PID tuning, bench and flight testing, data acquisition, failure analysis, and cross-functional collaboration on thermal, vibration, and safety features.

Own and maintain product configurations across drone platforms, manage BOMs and revisions in SAP and Arena PLM, ensure traceability and compliance (AS9100/MIL-STD), lead configuration audits, collaborate with engineering/manufacturing/quality, track configuration metrics, and support new platform configuration and risk mitigation.

Lead design, implementation, tuning, validation, and operational readiness of UAV guidance, navigation, and control systems. Own control architecture, autopilot workflows (PX4), flight test planning/execution, state estimation and sensor fusion, embedded integration, cross-functional collaboration, mentoring, and establishment of GNC development and validation best practices.
