Automated aviation systems will enable a future where air transportation is safer, more convenient and fundamentally transformative to the way goods - and eventually people - move around the planet. We are a team of mission-driven engineers with experience across aerospace, robotics and self-driving cars working to make this future a reality.\nThe Avionics Hardware team is a small group of highly motivated engineers who develop the core compute, actuation, sensing, and power electronics products at the heart of our automation system. We enjoy cradle-to-grave hardware ownership and hands-on test, iteration, and deployment of our designs. As a Sr Electrical Design Engineer, you will lead development of electrical components and sub-systems across our airborne and test platforms from the circuit-board level up through integrated systems and everything in between.\nResponsibilities\nIn your role as Sr Electrical Design Engineer, you will design, analyze, document, test, and troubleshoot electronic assemblies at the circuit board through integrated electro-mechanical level. You will collaborate with a cross-functional team of electrical, mechanical, software, manufacturing and test engineers as the expert on your hardware. You will drive improvements to the hardware through benchtop, environmental, and on-aircraft testing, and perform root-cause investigations to characterize, document, and rectify anomalous behavior in a safety-critical environment. You will contribute to continuous improvement of the team’s development processes and practices through technical leadership.\nBasic Success Criteria\nBachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or equivalent experience\n\n5+ years of full-lifecycle hardware development experience in a professional environment\n\nExperience developing and simulating complex and manufacturable printed circuit board assemblies using tools such as Altium Designer and SPICE\n\nAbility to work within a team, including excellent written and verbal communication skills\n\nAbility to methodically diagnose, document, and solve electronic hardware problems\n\nPreferred Criteria\nAdvanced degree in electrical engineering or computer engineering\n\nExperience with aviation development assurance standards (e.g. RTCA/DO-254 for Level A/B items or equivalent)\n\nExperience designing electronics to meet rigorous environmental standards (aerospace, military, automotive, or harsh industrial)\n\nDeep expertise in high-speed digital design, mixed-signal design, RF design, and/or power electronics design\n\nProficiency with Python and/or MATLAB for analysis, data review, and test setup scripting\n\nAbility to work both independently and as a leader of a high performing team\n\nWe're a growing, motivated, fast-paced team of avionics professionals. We move quickly, and everyone wears multiple hats. We're looking for someone who is diligent and detail-oriented who can join our team and make an immediate impact.\nThis role is on-site in Mountain View, CA or Seattle, WA\nMust be willing to travel 20% of the time.\nThe estimated salary range for this position is $188,000 to $250,000/annual salary + cash and stock option awards + benefits. At Reliable Robotics, we strive to provide competitive and rewarding compensation based on experience and expertise, as well as market conditions, location, and pay equity.\nIn addition to base compensation, Reliable Robotics offers stock options, employee medical, 401k contribution, great co-workers and a casual work environment.\nThis position requires access to information that is subject to U.S. export controls. An offer of employment will be contingent upon the applicant’s capacity to perform in compliance with U.S. export control laws.\nAll applicants are asked to provide documentation that legally establishes status as a U.S. person or non-U.S. person (and nationalities in the case of a non-U.S. person). Where the applicant is not a U.S. person, meaning not a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful permanent resident, (iii) refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, or not otherwise permitted to access the export-controlled technology without U.S. government authorization, the Company reserves the right not to apply for an export license for such applicants whose access to export-controlled technology or software source code requires authorization and may decline to proceed with the application process and any offer of employment on that basis.\nAt Reliable Robotics, our goal is to be a diverse and inclusive workforce. As an Equal Opportunity Employer, we do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, creed, ancestry, sex, gender (including pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, or related medical conditions), gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, non-disqualifying physical or mental disability or medical conditions, national origin, military or veteran status, genetic information, marital status, or any other basis covered by applicable law.
