Role Description
Hardware Engineer Munition Systems About the Role & Project We are engineering a small, safety-critical kinetic munition delivered by a First-Person View (FPV) class airframe. The computational backbone relies on a highly sophisticated electromechanical safe and arm device (EMSAD). As a Hardware Engineer, you will completely own the electronics lifecycle. From initial schematics and multilayer PCB layouts through to the final bring-up and qualification, every board in the system will be a direct result of your expertise. If you thrive in fast-paced environments with weekly hardware iterations and constant hands-on lab prototyping, this is the place to make a massive impact. What Youll Do Board Architecture: Architect and design the main EMSAD board alongside critical auxiliary boards. Schematic & PCB Design: Spearhead complex schematic design and advanced multilayer PCB layouts. Safety Engineering: Define robust hardware safety architectures using redundant interlocks and fail-safe de...
