Robotics Electrical Engineer

Overview

As an Electrical Engineer, your main role will be to design and develop electronic hardware for our UAV platforms and own the overall electrical system architecture.

• Design and electrical components like voltage regulators, and power distribution for drones.
• Create and test electronic circuits and PCBs for flight controllers, sensors, and embedded systems.
• Develop and code software packages for embedded system and interfaces.
• Integrate and calibrate sensors such as IMUs, GPS, cameras, LiDar, magnometers.
• Implement communication systems for reliable telemetry and communication.
• Conduct testing and validation of hardware under real-world conditions and environmental stress.
• Document designs and coordinate with teams for smooth integration with mechanical and software systems.

• MSc in Electrical Engineering or similar field with strong academic records (ETH Zürich or University of Applied Sciences)
• Proficiency in schematic capture and PCB design (e.g. Altium, KiCad, Eagle)
• Proficiency in rapid prototyping and iterative testing
• Familiarity with embedded systems and interfaces (MCUs, SPI, I2C, UART, CAN)
• Solid programming skills in Python and/or C++
• Ability to work autonomously and solve complex technical challenges.
• Excellent written and verbal communication in English.

• Familiarity with flight controllers and avionics stacks (PX4, Ardu Pilot, custom FCs)
• Experience with EMI/EMC mitigation
• Experience with electrical components for multicopters (ESCs, sensors, PDBs)
• Experience with sourcing electrical components

• Direct impact on a mission‑critical technology shaping Europe’s security landscape
• Fast‑moving startup environment with high ownership
• Work with a highly technical, ambitious, and hands‑on team
• Real‑world testing, deployments, and customer demonstrations
• Attractive compensation
