Electronic Engineer
Onsite in Aberdeen, NC
Our client is building advanced autonomous platforms for demanding real-world applications, and they are adding an Electronic Engineer who wants direct influence over product performance, field reliability, and future platform capability. This is an opportunity to join a growing engineering group where strong contributors help shape architecture, solve tough integration challenges, and move ideas from early concept through prototype and into deployable hardware. For the right person, this role offers meaningful technical ownership, close collaboration with a hands-on team, and the chance to work on systems that matter.
This Role Offers
Competitive base compensation with flexibility for exceptional talent
Strong equity opportunity as part of total rewards
Company-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage
401(k) with company match
Generous paid time off plus holidays
A high-ownership engineering environment with direct visibility into product decisions
Opportunity to help build and scale a growing U.S. engineering team
Focus
Design, prototype, and refine electronic assemblies for rugged autonomous platforms operating in demanding field conditions
Own schematic capture, board layout coordination, bring-up, and validation for compact power and control hardware
Evaluate radios, sensors, and supporting components with close attention to reliability, integration risk, and performance tradeoffs
Partner with mechanical, firmware, flight, and manufacturing teammates to solve cross-functional issues quickly
Plan and execute bench testing for signal integrity, EMI awareness, power behavior, and subsystem verification
Support the transition from concept hardware to repeatable builds suitable for early production
Skill Set
5 plus years of experience in electronics design for aerospace, robotics, defense, automotive, or other high-reliability systems
Hands-on skill with PCB design workflows, lab instrumentation, and practical hardware debugging
Experience working within size, weight, and power constraints
Working knowledge of embedded hardware, digital interfaces, and sensor integration
Comfort operating in a fast-moving build-test-learn environment with limited oversight
Strong communication skills and an ownership mindset
Background in RF hardware, datalinks, or flight-adjacent systems is helpful
Eligibility to pass background screening and support defense-aligned programs
Education
Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, Electronics Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related technical field preferred
Equivalent hands-on experience designing and building complex hardware systems will also be considered
Preferred Profile
This team is especially interested in engineers who can contribute quickly, think across disciplines, and take responsibility for outcomes, not just tasks. Experience in unmanned systems is valuable, but outstanding problem-solving ability and proven hardware execution are more important than matching every industry keyword.
