Senior Hardware Engineer

Ready to be part of something big? At KRUSH Labs, a privately owned R&D center, we push the boundaries of unmanned systems and advanced hardware. We’re building next-generation platforms that fuse resilient communications, AI-driven autonomy, and precision navigation, designed to perform in the most demanding real-world environments. Join us to tackle complex challenges, turn cutting-edge research into deployed technology, and help shape the future of autonomous systems!

As a Senior Hardware Engineer, you will contribute to project development from start to end. From understanding project requirements and communicating with team members, to designing and implementation. You will participate in discussions about implementation decisions, design trade-offs, and DFM and DFT impacts.
