• Hardware prototyping, wiring, bring-up, and integration
• Collect, analyze, and distribute data to various engineering teams
• Mechanical design, fabrication, assembly, and system packaging
• Debugging across software, electronics, and physical hardware
• Supporting drone and sensing platform development from concept to test
• Embedded coding for sensor, control, and data acquisition systems

Requirements

• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical & Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or other technical field
• Strong interest in embedded systems, robotics, drones, or sensing platforms
• Experience with RF antennas, including RF link budgets, antenna design trades, signal chain analysis, and RF payload integration.
• Experience in at least some of the following: C/C++, Python, microcontrollers, electronics, networking, CAD, fabrication, or mechanical assembly
• Comfortable learning quickly and working across software and hardware boundaries
• Hands-on builder mindset with strong problem-solving ability
• Eager to work with cross-functional engineering teams and take meaningful ownership of project
