Here, you’ll take ownership and drive real change. Constantly grow as you work hard for a mission that matters at a company where you matter. Your Impact: Dedrone stands out as the global leader in airspace defense technology and counter UAS solutions.

Engineering at Dedrone is tasked with delivering innovative solutions and products to maintain our position on the cutting-edge of innovation. Sr. Electrical Engineers at Dedrone have full design ownership over next‑generation cUAS technology from conceptualization through production, and their work is highly visible to senior executives.

Our passionate leadership and cross‑functional collaboration with product managers, mechanical engineers, industrial designers, and manufacturing teams is vital to the success of the team and ensuring the safety of the general public for generations to come. This role emphasizes electrical system architecture, schematic/circuit design, PCB design, RF and power systems design, and system‑level test and verification. The ideal candidate will have strong hands‑on experience with schematic capture, PCB layout, mixed‑signal design, embedded firmware, and designing for rugged/regulated environments.

What You'Ll Do

: Lead electrical system and subsystem development from concept through production, ensuring designs meet safety, EMC, and reliability standards. Define electrical specifications for sensors, radios, power distribution, and control electronics for cUAS platforms. Design and review detailed schematics for mixed-signal and high speed FPGA-based boards, perform or assist in PCB layout.

, MIL-STD-1275, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461) Design custom high power AC/DC power supplies (500–3000 Watts) with power factor correction, supporting wide input voltage ranges and tightly regulated DC outputs for demanding cUAS applications. Perform hardware bring‑up, debugging, and system integration, leveraging lab instrumentation to characterize and validate performance of custom and COTS electronics. Conduct electrical analysis with a strong emphasis on simulation driven design, including signal integrity, power integrity, EMI/EMC mitigation, and thermal considerations to ensure robust first pass hardware performance.

Produce high fidelity prototypes and iterate quickly to qualify designs; develop test plans and lead verification and validation activities. Collaborate regularly with domestic and international stakeholders across engineering, product, and program teams. Rigorously document and manage electrical design specifications, BOMs, firmware releases, test reports, and compliance evidence.

What You Bring: Bachelor’s, Master’s, pr PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field. Proven experience in electrical design and system integration for complex hardware products—ideally in cUAS, Satcom, defense, robotics, or wireless systems. , Altium) and experience with DFM/DFX practices.

Expertise in power electronics design: battery management systems, DC/DC. AC/DC converters, power sequencing, and thermal management for electronics. Solid understanding of signal integrity, power integrity, EMI/EMC mitigation techniques, and relevant test/qualification methods.

Strong analytical and troubleshooting abilities; comfort debugging at the board and system level.
