Senior Electrical Engineer
Description
Matternet designs, builds, and operates autonomous drone delivery networks that enable ultra-fast, low-cost, and zero-emission package delivery. We are looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer to design and sustain the electronics that power our drone and landing station platforms. This role is critical—our systems depend on robust power distribution, sensor integration, and safety monitoring.
Responsibilities
Design and prototype electrical systems for UAVs, including power distribution, communication, and control systems
Perform analysis and testing of electrical components to validate performance against specifications
Integrate electrical systems with mechanical and software components to create cohesive UAV solutions
Lead troubleshooting and debugging of electrical issues during prototype development and flight testing
Collaborate with firmware and software engineers to implement and refine control algorithms
Ensure compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements in all electrical designs
Requirements
7+ years in electronics development for embedded or high-reliability systems, preferably in UAV, robotics, or aerospace sectors
Proficiency in circuit design, schematic capture, and PCB layout tools (e.g., Altium, Eagle)
Experience with embedded systems, sensors, and communication protocols (e.g., I2C, SPI, CAN)
Strong hands-on background in prototyping and testing electrical systems
Experience taking products from prototype to production
Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work collaboratively in a team-oriented environment
