Robotics Electrical Engineer

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

You will be in a team responsible for all electrical subsystems required to operate the drone in real-world deployments including power distribution and charging infrastructure (power management battery interfaces protection and safety circuits) as well as communication and connectivity interfaces (data links RF modules antennas wiring and integration of external connection ports).

Tasks

RESPONSIBILITY

• 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.

Requirements

REQUIREMENTS

• 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.
• MSc in Electrical Engineering or similar field with strong academic records (ETH Zürich or University of Applied Sciences)

NICE TO HAVE

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