Company

Developing the ES-30, a 30-passenger regional hybrid-electric aircraft targeting type certification by the end of the decade.

What you will do

• Architect and design high-reliability, mixed-signal, and power-conversion PCB assemblies for flight-critical applications up to 900 V DC.
• Own schematic capture, component selection, constraint-driven layout, design-rule enforcement, and manufacturing release using Altium Designer or an equivalent ECAD tool.
• Perform design reviews, simulations, signal and power integrity analysis, DFMEA, thermal analysis, and EMC assessments against DO-160 and DO-254 requirements.
• Lead electronics bring-up and validation, including test-plan authoring and development of Python, Rust, and C test scripts.
• Coordinate with software and mechanical engineers on integrated subsystems, board outlines, connectors, and build schedules.
• Improve electronics development workflows through automated checks, stronger version control, and mentoring junior engineers.

Requirements

• 3+ years of professional PCBA design and new product introduction experience in safety-critical or aerospace products.
• Ownership of at least one product from concept through volume production.
• Proficiency with Altium Designer or an equivalent ECAD tool.
• Experience with Ethernet, power electronics up to kilowatt levels, and CAN, ARINC-429, SPI, and I²C interfaces.
• Hands-on experience with oscilloscopes, VNAs, thermal chambers, and debugging EMI/EMC issues.
• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering or equivalent.

Nice to have

• Experience certifying electronics for Part 23/25 aircraft or eVTOL platforms.
• Working knowledge of DO-160, DO-254, IPC-2221/2222, and IPC-7351.
• Knowledge of motor-drive control or battery-management circuitry.

Culture & Benefits

• Work on the transition of hybrid-electric aircraft electronics from prototype to production.
• Collaborate closely across electrical, software, and mechanical engineering disciplines.
• Develop systems intended for flight-critical aerospace applications.
