Sr. Electronics Design Engineer

About the role

We're building safety-enhancing technology for aviation that will save lives. Automated aviation systems will enable a future where air transportation is safer, more convenient and fundamentally transformative to the way goods - and eventually people - move around the planet. We are a team of mission-driven engineers with experience across aerospace, robotics and self-driving cars working to make this future a reality.

As a Sr Electronics Design Engineer at Reliable Robotics, you will be a member of our Avionics Hardware Development Team. You’ll lead the development of electrical components and sub-systems across our airborne and test platforms- from circuit-board design through fully integrated systems, and everything in between. The Avionics Hardware team is a small group of highly motivated engineers who develop the core compute, actuation, sensing, and power electronics products at the heart of our automation system. We enjoy cradle-to-grave hardware ownership and hands-on test, iteration, and deployment of our designs.

Responsibilities

• Design, analyze, document, test, and troubleshoot electronic assemblies at the circuit board through integrated electro-mechanical level.
• Collaborate with a cross-functional team of electrical, mechanical, software, manufacturing and test engineers as the expert on your hardware.
• Drive hardware design improvements through benchtop, environmental, and on-aircraft testing.
• Perform root-cause investigations to characterize, document, and rectify anomalous behavior in a safety-critical environment.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of the team’s development processes and practices through technical leadership.

Basic Success Criteria

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or equivalent experience
• 5+ years of full-lifecycle hardware development experience in a professional environment
• Experience developing and simulating complex and manufacturable printed circuit board assemblies using tools such as Altium Designer and SPICE
• Ability to work within a team, including excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to methodically diagnose, document, and solve electronic hardware problems..

Preferred Criteria

• Advanced degree in electrical engineering or computer engineering
• Experience with aviation development assurance standards (e.g. RTCA/DO-254 for Level A/B items or equivalent)
• Experience designing electronics to meet rigorous environmental standards (aerospace, military, automotive, or harsh industrial)
• Deep expertise in high-speed digital design, mixed-signal design, RF design, and/or power electronics design
• Proficiency with Python and/or MATLAB for analysis, data review, and test setup scripting
• Ability to work both independently and as a leader of a high performing team
