We're Hiring: PCB Design Engineer
Full time | Core team
LAT Aerospace | Cross Program
LAT Aerospace is developing next-generation aerospace systems from first principles. This includes a hybrid electric aircraft that takes off and lands within a space of a parking lot, Defence systems built from ground up and scalable Gas Turbine Engines.
The PCB Design Engineer role is a cross-program role spanning sensing, control, communication, data acquisition, instrumentation, and experimental hardware. You will work closely with electrical, embedded, and mechanical engineers to take boards from architecture and schematic through layout, testing, and iteration.
What you’ll do
Design digital, analog, and mixed-signal PCBs for sensing, control, communication, data acquisition, and instrumentation systems.
Own the hardware lifecycle from architecture, schematic, component selection, and PCB layout through fabrication, bring-up, and validation.
Design multilayer boards with attention to signal integrity, power integrity, grounding, thermal management, and EMI/EMC.
Develop interfaces for sensors, actuators, processors, communication buses, and external systems.
Work with embedded engineers to define hardware–firmware interfaces.
Perform circuit analysis, component derating, simulation, and design reviews.
Lead board bring-up, debugging, characterization, and failure analysis.
Develop test fixtures and supporting electronics for rapid hardware development.
Work with PCB fabrication and assembly partners to take designs from prototype to repeatable production.
Maintain schematics, layouts, BOMs, and engineering documentation.
What we’re looking for
3+ years of professional experience in PCB design and hardware development.
Strong fundamentals in analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuit design.
Proficiency with Altium, KiCad, or equivalent PCB design tools.
Experience with multilayer PCB design, signal/power integrity, grounding, and EMI/EMC.
Hands-on experience with component selection, schematic capture, PCB layout, and hardware bring-up.
Comfortable debugging hardware using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG/programmers, power supplies, and other lab equipment.
Strong understanding of common communication interfaces such as CAN, SPI, I²C, UART, RS-485, Ethernet, or equivalent.
Comfortable working directly with prototypes, soldering, test benches, and rapid hardware iterations.
Experience designing electronics for aerospace, automotive, robotics, industrial, or other high-performance systems is preferred.
Why join LAT?
No hierarchy beyond strength of ideas.
Rapid hardware iteration culture.
Build systems that have to work reliably in the real world.

What We Do
Imagine a world where flying is as easy as taking a bus. A world where air travel isn't just for the major cities, but for everyone, everywhere. No more congested hubs, no more wasted hours in security lines—just seamless, affordable, on-demand flights connecting thousands of destinations that the world has ignored for too long. We are building the future of mass aviation: a network of high-frequency, low-cost, 8 seater, STOL (short take-off and landing), medium-haul aircraft that make every city, every town, and every community accessible—without compromise. Powered by next-generation aircraft, designed ground-up for efficiency, built for affordability, and future-proofed for autonomy, we are aiming to rewrite the rules of flight. Our aircraft will take off and land in compact "air-stops" no bigger than a parking lot—no baggage belts, no security bottlenecks—eliminating the need for complex, expensive airport infrastructure that regional air travel simply doesn't require. No more waiting. No more detours. No more being forced to drive when you should be able to fly. This isn't the impractical supersonic future of aviation as you are made to believe. This is the real future of aviation that our communities need. --------- We are hiring We’re building a next-gen aerospace company — from scratch. Our Aircraft team is leading the development of our 8-seater hybrid-electric aircraft, spanning design, prototyping, systems integration, testing, and everything in between. Our GTE team is focused on building a world-class gas turbine engine. We're especially looking for folks with experience in turbines, rotors, control systems, or anything close.
