Experience with packaging and integration of PCBAs, batteries, and RF components.
Familiarity with electrical and electromechanical components such as BLDC motors and optical sensors.
Experience designing for harsh environments.
Subject-matter experience in an analysis discipline such as structural, vibration, thermal, or CFD.
Experience with Teamcenter or similar PLM systems.
Hands-on fabrication skills, including general shop tools, manual machining, welding, or CNC machining.

Responsibilities

Own hardware design to optimize performance, high-volume manufacturability, and cost.
Gather requirements and translate them into defensible engineering architectures and decisions.
Perform design trades using 3D modeling software, FEA tools, prototyping, and engineering first principles.
Participate in and lead design reviews.
Create high-quality engineering drawings.
Root-cause hardware failures and manufacturing issues.
Work with Manufacturing and Supply Chain teams on build instructions, production tooling and fixtures, and vendor selection; own these items where necessary.
Plan and execute validation testing for designs, working with the Flight Test team and other engineering teams as appropriate.
