Senior Electrical Engineer

At Hoverfly Technologies, our Senior Electrical Engineer is at the center of what keeps our tethered drone systems in the air: the power and control electronics that have to perform reliably in real operational environments. This is a hands-on IC role where you'll own PCB design from schematic capture through flight-ready hardware, working alongside mechanical, test, and manufacturing teams on systems with active defense and commercial deployments.

Why You Want This Job
Your PCB designs will fly on tethered UAS platforms supporting Army integrated tactical network and robotic combat vehicle programs
Direct, full-lifecycle ownership of high-power and control electronics: concept, layout, test, sustainment
Work with a collaborative engineering team in Sanford, FL where your input shapes real decisions and your work shows up in fielded systems
Flight test access and real failure analysis on hardware operating in harsh field environments, not a lab-only role
Competitive benefits including comprehensive healthcare, paid time off, and a retirement savings plan, plus occasional in-office perks like wellness events and catered meals

What You'll Do
Design, develop, and maintain mixed-signal power and control electronics for tethered multi-rotor systems from concept through production
Own all phases of PCB design in Altium or equivalent: schematic capture, layout, DFM, and acceptance testing
Conduct electronics failure analysis and implement RF/EMI mitigation per MIL-STD-461
Collaborate with mechanical and test teams on electronics packaging and hardware integration
Coordinate with contract manufacturers on subassembly production, and contribute to roadmap and design review processes

Why You'll Be Successful
5–7 years of hands-on PCB design experience, including complex multi-layer layouts
Proficiency with Altium, Mentor Graphics PADS, Xpedition, or HyperLynx
RF Systems and MIL-STD-461 noise mitigation experience
Demonstrated CoM/SoM integration experience
