About the role

Electronics Engineer on the Physical Products team responsible for designing and building Helsing's electrical systems, from component selection and PCB design to prototype bring-up and integration across mechanical, software, and avionics boundaries.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and validate bespoke PCBs from schematic through to hands-on bring-up, covering power, digital, and mixed-signal electronics, using tools such as Altium Designer or KiCad
  • Define the electrical architecture of UAV platforms, producing wiring diagrams, power distribution schemes, and interface definitions for system integration
  • Select and specify components across sensors, actuators, controllers, and power systems, trading off performance, cost, availability, and integration effort to make well-reasoned, documented design decisions
  • Integrate communication interfaces such as CAN Bus, Ethernet, and RS422/485, and support RF and radio systems, ensuring robust data and power distribution across the platform
  • Define and execute unit-level tests, contribute to reliability and safety analyses such as FMEA, and produce design documentation including wiring diagrams, schematics, PCB layouts, and BOM.

Qualifications

  • Designed and integrated electrical and electronic systems in a professional engineering context, ideally within aerospace or similar demanding domain
  • Proficient in PCB design and layout with ECAD tools such as Altium Designer or KiCad and simulation tools such as LTSpice
  • Ability to interpret complex third-party datasheets and translate electrical characteristics into sound design decisions
  • Experience designing cable harnesses and defining communication interfaces, and working with RF or radio systems in a hardware integration context
  • Collaborates across mechanical, software, and systems engineering, and communicates clearly in written and spoken English
