Munich · Full time

You design the electronics that let our drones live on a power line. That means PCBs that survive 380kV E-fields, RF links that work through corona discharges, and internal comms that just work. You're a generalist with an EE core, comfortable from schematic to field test.

What you'll do

• Design custom PCBs: power management, sensor boards, internal comms, RF frontends
• Own the RF stack: antenna placement, link budgets, 4G/LTE, ExpressLRS, onboard sensors
• Define and implement the internal communication protocol between drone subsystems
• Design battery management systems: cell balancing, accurate charge estimation
• Work closely with firmware and mechanical engineers to turn schematics into flying hardware
• Whatever is necessary, if something needs to happen, you do it

What you'll ship in the first 3 months

• Consolidate existing PCBs into fewer boards to cut part count and failure surface
• Bring up a new sensor payload end to end, from schematic to flight test
• Land the top electronics reliability fixes from field returns into the next hardware revision
• Improve diagnostics and telemetry on the power path so failures are caught on the ground, not in the air

Your qualifications

• Comfortable taking a PCB from schematic in KiCad or Altium to a working board in your hand
• Working knowledge of RF fundamentals: S-parameters, impedance matching, antenna patterns
• Familiar with battery chemistries and BMS design
• Strong debug skills with oscilloscope, logic analyzer, and spectrum analyzer
• Bonus: experience with power electronics, EMC testing, or high-voltage environments
