• Work closely with software, mechanical, autonomy, and systems engineers to integrate flight controllers, processors, sensors, cameras, communications hardware, and other embedded components into complete platforms.

• Support circuit design, embedded computing, flight control hardware, sensors, and imaging systems for unmanned, autonomous, and other advanced platforms.

• Rapidly prototype, integrate, test, and mature embedded hardware capabilities in support of operational and test platforms.

Requirements

• Active TS/SCI security clearance.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent relevant experience.

• 4 years of relevant experience.

• Experience designing and developing embedded electronic systems, including schematic design, component selection, PCB development, and hardware bring-up.

• Experience with microcontrollers, embedded processors, or SoCs and associated peripheral circuitry.

• Experience developing or integrating flight control hardware, avionics, robotics, or other real-time embedded systems.

• Working knowledge of embedded interfaces such as SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, USB, Ethernet, or similar.

• Experience developing, modifying, or debugging embedded firmware in C/C++ or similar languages.

• Hands-on experience troubleshooting hardware and firmware using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters, and other laboratory equipment.

• Ability to integrate sensors, communications devices, and other peripherals into embedded platforms.

Desired Qualifications

• Experience developing hardware for UAS, robotics, autonomous systems, or aerospace platforms.

• Experience with flight controllers, IMUs, GNSS receivers, ESCs, servos, motor control, or related avionics.

• Experience integrating cameras, image sensors, video processing hardware, or electro-optical systems.

• Familiarity with camera interfaces such as MIPI CSI, USB, Ethernet, or similar high-speed interfaces.

• Experience with embedded Linux, RTOS environments, or bare-metal firmware development.

• Familiarity with STM32, NXP, TI, Microchip, NVIDIA Jetson, Raspberry Pi Compute Module, or similar embedded platforms.

• Experience with power distribution, battery-powered systems, DC/DC conversion, and power integrity.

• Experience with PCB layout considerations for mixed-signal, high-speed digital, or compact embedded systems.

• Familiarity with PX4, ArduPilot, MAVLink, ROS/ROS 2, or similar flight control and robotics ecosystems.

• Experience rapidly prototyping and integrating custom embedded hardware into operational or test platforms.
