The client builds LADRS (Laser Aiming & Drone Remote System), a solution to cognitive overload on the modern battlefield. This is a ground-floor opportunity to join a mission-driven team.\nAbout the Role\nThe client is seeking an Electrical Engineer to own PCB design for its innovative weapon-mounted remote control system, from schematic capture through fabrication, assembly, and test. The Electrical Engineer will design both analog and digital circuits and get hands-on with bring-up and debug on the bench. They will work alongside other engineers on the team throughout the process, from firmware and mechanical to RF layout support and testing.\nWhat the Electrical Engineer Will Do\nOwns the PCB layouts\nDesigns analog and digital circuits for sensors, payload electronics, and communication modules\nDesigns for manufacturability (DFM) and design for assembly (DFA) to support production-scale builds\nMay work with PCB fabrication and contract assembly vendors: quoting, DFM reviews, issue resolution\nDevelops and runs test procedures for board bring-up and validation\nSelects and integrates RF communication components; works with modulation/encoding schemes (e.g., FSK, LoRa)\nBuilds, reworks, and debugs prototypes themselves: soldering, rework, bench instrumentation (scope, multimeter, spectrum analyzer)\nCollaborates with firmware and mechanical engineering on system-level integration\nRequired Qualifications\n5+ years of experience designing PCBs that shipped to production, including assembly and test\nProficiency in Altium Designer and/or KiCad\nStrong fundamentals in analog and digital circuit design\nWorking knowledge of RF communication techniques: FSK, LoRa, modulation, encoding/decoding\nAble to produce a complete, correct RF schematic\nHands-on lab experience: comfortable soldering, reworking boards, and debugging hardware themselves\nBachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience working with PCB fab/assembly vendors\nExperience designing to military specifications (MIL-STD)\nPrior work with weapon-mounted devices/electronics\nPrior work on small UAV, drone, or other size/weight/power-constrained electronics\nExperience building RF transmitter/receiver modules for video transmission\nPrior U.S. military service, especially in Army, Marine Corps, Airborne, Ranger, SOF units (or any other relevant units)\nActive or prior Secret clearance is a plus\nAbout the Client\nThe client was forged from battlefield frustration: the technology built for the modern Warfighter kept creating the very problems it promised to solve.\nThat’s why the client built LADRS (Laser Aiming & Drone Remote System), its answer to one of the most dangerous problems on the modern battlefield: cognitive overload.\nThe client is a venture-backed Warfighter technology company, and LADRS is just the start. Everything the client builds is aimed at giving U.S. and allied Warfighters an unfair & decisive edge. This is a ground-floor role for someone ready to grow with the company.\nWork Environment\nThe client believes in the mission: increasing the lethality and survivability of U.S. and allied Warfighters\nBased at the client’s offices in the Atlanta, GA metro area\nOpen to local or relocating candidates\nTravel 5%-10% CONUS/OCONUS to customer sites, exercises, and industry events\nCompensation\nCompensation reflects a range of factors including relevant experience, education, certifications, specialized skills, geographic location, and business needs, and will be discussed during the interview process.\nBenefits & Perks\nCompetitive pay and a real benefits package\nComprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans\nEquity grants for new hires\nUnlimited PTO\nGenerous company holiday calendar\nFSA\nHSA\nITAR Compliance\nTo conform to U.S. Government defense technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), candidates must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or otherwise eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.\nEqual Opportunity Statement\nThe client is an equal opportunity employer.
