Avionics Engineer (Electronics)

At our company, job titles and career progression are earned, not determined by years of experience alone. They reflect the responsibility you take on and the dedication you bring to each project. If you’re ready to rise to the challenge, we’d love to hear from you.

Key responsibilities

• Develop avionics electronics for flight hardware, including power, control, sensing, instrumentation, telemetry, and data-acquisition systems.
• Define requirements, interfaces, architectures, schematics, PCB designs, component selections, and production documentation.
• Design, build, and maintain electrical ground-support equipment, test fixtures, harnesses, and facility interfaces.
• Bring up, debug, integrate, and verify electronic hardware in the laboratory, on test stands, and on vehicle hardware.
• Work closely with flight software, systems, propulsion, mechanical, manufacturing, and test teams to resolve cross-disciplinary issues.
• Support environmental testing, hardware campaigns, launch operations, and the continuous improvement of avionics designs and processes.

What we are looking for

• A degree in electrical engineering, electronics engineering, avionics, computer engineering, or a related discipline; equivalent practical experience may also be relevant.
• Experience designing, developing, testing, or integrating complex electronic hardware in aerospace, space, defence, automotive, robotics, or another high-reliability environment.
• Strong understanding of analogue and digital electronics, power distribution, sensors, signal conditioning, and hardware interfaces.
• Practical experience with schematics, PCB development, component selection, laboratory testing, and technical documentation.
• A methodical approach to requirements, verification, fault finding, configuration control, and hardware safety.
• The ability to work hands-on and independently while collaborating effectively across a small, fast-moving engineering team.

Desirable experience

• Flight hardware for launch vehicles, spacecraft, aircraft, missiles, or other safety-critical aerospace systems.
• Electrical ground-support equipment, test stands, instrumentation, data acquisition, harnessing, or vehicle integration.
• Embedded electronics, microcontrollers, communication interfaces, telemetry systems, or hardware-software integration.
• Environmental, vibration, thermal, electromagnetic compatibility, or qualification testing.
• ECAD tools such as Altium, KiCad, or similar, together with experience taking hardware into production.
• Experience with aerospace quality processes, component derating, FMEA, reliability analysis, or formal verification and validation.

Benefits and important information:

• We offer top-decile compensation packages, bonuses and meaningful equity, to attract exceptional aerospace talent.
• Every employee is awarded stock options in the company, you will directly benefit from your own hard work and success.
• Comprehensive relocation support including flights, shipping and visas.
• Lunch, dinner and drinks provided everyday
• Free access to shared company housing

Please note, we are a fast paced, hyper-scaling startup. You will need to be comfortable working extended hours with high levels of autonomy, ownership, and flexibility, with contracts structured around a 48-hour working week.

We are committed to building an equitable and inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued, has equal access to opportunity, and can thrive. We welcome different perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences—and believe our differences make us stronger.
