Torchbearers

UAV Systems | Senior Electrical Engineer

This role owns the electronics that make it possible for UAV systems to operate in real-world, high-stakes environments.

The objective here is to design, integrate, test, and field the core electrical systems for autonomous aerial vehicles, taking hardware from prototype to operational deployment.

  • Design embedded electronic systems for UAV platforms
  • Own power architecture and distribution across air vehicle systems
  • Integrate sensors, payloads, compute, and communications hardware
  • Support system integration, debugging, and flight-test campaigns
  • Work directly with mechanical, software, and autonomy engineers
  • Take hardware from prototype builds to production-ready systems

Who are we looking for?

  • Direct experience with UAV, aerospace, robotics, autonomous systems, or defense electronics
  • Strong embedded hardware design capability (analog, digital, or mixed-signal)
  • Proven ability to integrate complex systems into a functioning platform
  • Hands-on debugging in lab and field environments
  • Experience taking hardware beyond prototype stage
  • Comfortable working in fast iteration cycles with incomplete information

Bonus expertise:

  • Power electronics or battery systems
  • RF communications, datalinks, or GNSS integration
  • Flight test or field deployment experience
  • Defense or high-reliability system background

What Success Looks Like

  • Making the UAV electrically work in reality, not just on paper
  • Closing integration gaps, resolve failures in flight, and pushing hardware from fragile prototype into something deployable and repeatable.
