# Hardware Electronics Engineer (UAV)

- **Company:** RNRS Solutions
- **Location:** Leerdam, Netherlands (Remote available)
- **Experience:** Expert
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Altium Designer, Automation of Tests, Software Debugging, Hardware Design, Python (Programming Language), Routing, Signal Integrity, Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter, Serial Peripheral Interface, Pcb Layout
- **Published:** October 16, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.adzuna.nl/details/5929239859

## About the Role

* 3+ years of hands-on hardware design experience (schematic and PCB layout)
 * Strong working knowledge of Altium Designer
 * Experience with multilayer PCBs and power electronics: DC-DC converters, MOSFET stages, current sensing
 * Experience with microcontroller-based designs (e.g. STM32) and common interfaces: SPI, I2C, UART, CAN
 * Practical understanding of DFM/DFA and work with PCB manufacturers
 * Lab skills: oscilloscope, power supply, multimeter, soldering and rework
 * Technical English sufficient to read datasheets and write documentation

Would be a plus: direct experience with drone flight controllers or ESCs (BLDC motor drives, FOC); familiarity with ArduPilot, PX4 or Betaflight hardware ecosystems; EMC/EMI-aware design for compact, high-current boards; design for harsh environments (vibration, temperature); basic Python for test automation.

## Description

You'll design electronics for UAV components, primarily flight controllers and ESCs, and own the full hardware cycle from schematic to production-ready PCB. You'll take boards through layout, manufacturing outputs, DFM with fabs and assembly houses, and into the lab for bring-up and debugging, with your designs going into products that are built at volume and used in the field.
For an engineer with a background in power electronics or motor control, this is an opportunity to work on compact, high-current boards where design decisions have direct, visible impact.

Responsibilities:

 * Design schematics for flight controllers, ESCs and related UAV electronics: component selection, power stages, MCU circuits, sensors and interfaces
 * Create multilayer PCB layouts in Altium, including high-current power routing, thermal management and signal integrity
 * Prepare manufacturing outputs: Gerbers, BOM, pick-and-place, assembly drawings
 * Support the DFM/DFA phase together with PCB fabs and assembly houses
 * Bring up and debug prototypes, and fix issues found in testing
 * Take part in peer design reviews, both giving and receiving feedback
 * Maintain design documentation and component libraries
