Robotics Hardware Engineer

We're looking for a hands-on and experienced Hardware Engineer to join our robotics development team and play a key role in building the electronic systems that power our indoor inspection drones. This is a multidisciplinary role in a fast-paced mechatronics environment, involving everything from high-speed digital design to power electronics and sensor integration. You'll be working closely with mechanical and electronics engineers to develop robust, compact, and high-performance drone platforms. We're looking for someone who can contribute immediately and grow with the team as the company evolves.

• Design and develop custom electronics and PCBs, including high-speed digital interfaces (e.g., USB, camera signals).
• Develop power electronics systems, including battery management (BMS), power distribution, and motor control circuits.
• Integrate and test diverse sensor payloads, such as cameras, IMUs, and other perception modules.
• Collaborate with mechanical engineers to ensure tight integration of electronics into compact drone assemblies, considering thermal, EMI, and mechanical constraints.
• Own schematic design, PCB layout, component selection, and hardware bring-up.
• Lead and participate in design reviews, ensuring performance, manufacturability, and robustness.
• Debug hardware at both board and system levels using standard lab tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, etc.).
• Interface with suppliers and manufacturing partners for prototyping and production builds.
• Support hardware testing, documentation, and reliability validation of designs.

Do you have experience in Sensors?, Do you have a Master's degree?, * Master's degree in Electronics Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.

• 4-7 years of experience in electronics development, ideally in robotics, drones, or embedded systems.
• Strong background in high-speed digital design and PCB layout using tools like Altium Designer or KiCad.
• Proven experience with power electronics: battery systems, BMS, motor drivers, and power regulation.
• Familiarity with integrating and testing sensor payloads (e.g., cameras, IMUs, range sensors).
• Confident in hardware bring-up, system debugging, and cross-functional collaboration.
• Understanding of mechanical integration challenges in mechatronic systems.
• Well-organized with strong documentation and communication skills.
• Bonus: Exposure to embedded Linux, ROS, or firmware development environments.
• Bonus: Familiarity with design for manufacturing (DFM) and testing processes.
