Embedded Linux & Application Software Engineer

Role Summary

Design and develop power and mixed-signal electronic boards for battery chargers, high-voltage drone power systems, and carrier boards. Handle the complete hardware development cycle from circuit design and PCB layout to board testing and validation.

Key Responsibilities

• Design power-conversion circuits such as Buck/Boost, LLC, PFC, and battery charging systems (100 W3 kW).
• Design analogue and mixed-signal circuits.
• Create schematics and multi-layer PCB layouts using KiCad or Altium.
• Follow DFM/DFA, thermal, EMC, impedance, creepage, and clearance guidelines.
• Prepare and maintain BOMs and support component sourcing.
• Perform board bring-up and testing using oscilloscopes, electronic loads, thermal cameras, and other lab equipment.
• Test and measure efficiency, ripple, transient response, and thermal performance.
• Work closely with firmware engineers during MCU and board bring-up.
• Prepare design documentation, design reviews, and EMI/EMC test plans.
• Maintain engineering documentation using Git and issue-tracking tools.
• Use AI/LLM tools for design assistance, datasheet analysis, documentation, and test planning, while verifying all generated outputs.

Required Skills

• 3+ years of experience in power electronics, analogue electronics, or PCB design.
• Experience designing hardware that has been used in production or field applications.
• Strong knowledge of switch-mode power supplies, magnetics, loop compensation, thermal design, and protection circuits.
• Proficiency in KiCad or Altium.
• Basic knowledge of embedded systems and MCU peripherals such as ADC, PWM, I2C, and SPI.
• Ability to read schematics, flash/debug microcontrollers, and write basic Python scripts.
• Experience with Git, issue trackers, and technical documentation.
• Willingness to work on defence and dual-use technology projects and travel for field trials.

Good to Have

• High-voltage DC (400800 V) or tethered-drone power experience.
• Experience with MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-810, DO-160, or CISPR.
• Experience with LTspice, PSIM, or SPICE.
• Battery management related to Li-ion/LiPo experience.
• Experience with drones , UAVs, defence, or aerospace electronics.

What We Offer

• End-to-end ownership of hardware development, from requirements to field testing.
• Opportunity to work on drone, defence, and advanced power-electronics systems.
• Small, senior-led R&D team with direct interaction with R&D leadership.
• Access to modern electronics design tools, laboratory equipment, embedded platforms, and drone flight-test infrastructure.
