What You’ll Do

Lead the design, development, and testing of hardware systems across a range of domains, including robotics, embedded platforms, automation, and off-grid technology.
Develop modular and scalable components that can be adapted for different use cases from field-deployable systems to in-house R&D tools.
Oversee the full hardware lifecycle: from initial concept and prototyping to iteration, validation, and deployment.
Collaborate cross-functionally with software, data, and mechanical teams to ensure seamless integration of systems at every layer.
Define and implement testing protocols to evaluate performance, reliability, and long-term durability under varying environmental and operational conditions.
Drive documentation, tooling, and process development to support rapid prototyping, efficient handoff, and long-term system support.
Identify and evaluate new technologies, components, and techniques that can enhance the performance or manufacturability of future systems.

Key Skills and Qualities:

Embedded Systems Design: Proficient in designing systems using microcontrollers (e.g., STM32, ESP32) and sensors.

Mechanical Engineering: Strong background in materials science, aerodynamics, and structural design.

CAD & PCB Design: Experience with CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks) and PCB design tools (e.g., Altium).

Collaboration and Communication: Ability to work closely with software and data teams, ensuring cohesive hardware-software integration.

Problem-Solving Mindset: Analytical approach to troubleshooting and optimizing hardware performance in real-world conditions.

You’re excited by the idea of working in a startup environment, where every project is an opportunity to make a tangible impact and bring new ideas to life.

You combine technical expertise with a forward-thinking mindset, looking not just to solve today’s problems, but to pioneer solutions that shape the future of drone technology.

You thrive in collaborative settings and enjoy working on a team that values innovation, creativity, and adaptability.

You’re driven by the potential of this rapidly evolving field and eager to be part of a company that’s pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with fully integrated drone systems.
