About The Position

Wing is seeking an Electrical Engineer to join its Electrical and Embedded Engineering Team in Palo Alto, California. The role is part of a nimble design team building unmanned, autonomous delivery vehicles and their support systems. The engineer owns the end-to-end product lifecycle, from product concept, board design, and physical layout through mass production, applying hardware design skills alongside knowledge of system architecture and embedded-device software considerations. The role focuses on designing digital and mixed-signal printed circuit board assemblies for autonomous aircraft, supporting system integration, and ensuring designs meet safety, reliability, and certification requirements. The engineer also helps transition designs from prototyping and research and development into volume manufacturing and product launch.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Embedded Engineering, Computer Hardware Engineering, or equivalent experience.
At least 5 years of design experience in an electronics production environment.
Experience with packaging, integration, cost reduction, sourcing, and transitioning products from engineering to manufacturing.
Applied experience with CAN, USB, I2C, RS232, and Ethernet interface technologies.
Applied experience with aircraft system technologies, including GPS, IMUs, air data systems, servos/motors, cameras, and RF communications.
Experience with circuit simulation tools and scripting or automation tools for data collection and analysis.
Strong technical communication and presentation skills.
Attention to detail.
