Top Engineering Jobs

Design, validate, and deploy advanced hardware test systems for the X-BAT UAV. Lead PCB and test interface architecture for power, RF, and communications, develop automated Python test sequences, integrate custom fixtures (PLCs, relays, PCBAs), run HASS/ESS/HALT testing, and mentor junior engineers while driving DFT improvements and cross-functional reviews.

Lead mechanical design and system integration for airborne and ruggedized platforms from concept through production. Own packaging of electronics, RF components, and harnessing; perform structural, thermal, and environmental analyses; create CAD models and release packages; support prototyping, lab/field integration, troubleshooting, and cross-functional collaboration to ensure reliability and manufacturability.

Design, implement, and optimize resilient, secure network architectures for V-BAT UAS. Integrate with external networks (radio, satellite), develop communication protocols and provisioning software, test in lab and field, optimize for low-bandwidth/high-latency/high-packet-loss missions, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver production-ready systems.

Supervise and lead avionics engineering technicians in integration, test, troubleshooting, production support, and flight readiness. Oversee use of test equipment, interpret schematics and drawings, coordinate with engineering, production, quality, and supply chain, enforce policies and safety, analyze test and operational data, and drive training and continuous improvement.

Lead design, analysis, and integration of avionics thermal management for unmanned aircraft. Develop and validate analytical, numerical, and CFD models, run trade studies, plan and execute thermal tests, guide cross-disciplinary teams, and influence electrical/PCBA thermal design decisions.

Design and develop electro-mechanical or hydro-mechanical landing gear for autonomous UAVs. Own full design cycle from concept and CAD to analysis, tolerance stack-ups, materials selection, prototyping, FEA, testing, and production release. Collaborate with avionics, hydraulics, structures and electrical teams; support integration, ground and flight testing.

Lead investigations into fielded V-BAT failures and repeat defects, perform root-cause analysis and corrective actions, analyze logs/returned hardware/test data, collaborate cross-functionally to implement reliability and maintainability improvements, and translate findings into design/process changes to improve fleet readiness.

Lead integration of autonomy software onto diverse platforms by designing and implementing interfaces between autonomy, vehicle subsystems, sensors, payloads, and communications. Configure Linux mission environments, middleware, containers, and deployment pipelines; support SIL/HIL/VIL validation, field tests, demonstrations, troubleshooting, and cross-team coordination while mentoring junior engineers.

Design, build, and execute mechanical and structural test plans, develop fixtures and hydraulic test systems, integrate and calibrate sensors, automate data collection and analysis with Python, perform FEA, produce technical reports, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to validate aircraft hardware.

Design and own automated electrical test systems for UAV components. Develop PCBs and custom fixtures, integrate PLCs/relays/PCBAs, automate test sequences in Python, and perform environmental reliability testing (HASS/ESS/HALT) while collaborating across disciplines to improve testability and hardware validation.
