Job Description

Eleven Recruiting is searching for a Staff Electrical Engineer for a growing Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) manufacturer in the greater Los Angeles area. In this role, youll own the high-level electrical system design of a major product such as a drone, gimbal or ground control station from conception through sustaining, working closely with the other discipline lead engineers and the product manager to turn product requirements into a system architecture that achieves the product vision with the best compromise of development time, cost and design complexity. Youll also direct a small team of electrical engineers focused on specific subsystems, integrating their designs with your own to build a robust system.
Responsibilities:

Work with a cross-disciplinary team to break down product requirements into clear, testable and traceable formal system and subsystem engineering requirements.
Estimate the level of effort in engineering hours and total duration of all tasks for a project to support the project managers schedule.
Perform trade studies to identify and downselect critical system components and technologies.
Serve as a subject-matter expert in at least three technologies critical to UAVs.
Manage a system-level electrical design with application processors and multiple microcontrollers.
Lead a small team of engineers and integrate their designs into a working system.
Develop designs that pass electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) regulatory requirements (e.g., MIL-STD-461G, FCC, CE).
Implement design-for-manufacturing (DFM) and design-for-test (DFT) best practices and feedback.
Write and execute Engineering Verification Test (EVT) procedures.
Work with the in-house manufacturing team and contract manufacturers to define in-circuit tests (ICT) and functional circuit tests (FCT).
Direct and review PCB layout, and perform layout as needed, working with both internal and external layout resources.
Lead design reviews of the project and sign off on design reviews for others.
Maintain an accurate electrical bill of materials (BOM) in the product lifecycle management (PLM) system.

Qualifications:

Bachelors degree in electrical engineering.
1115 years of relevant industry experience, preferably in electronics design, embedded systems or aerospace/UAS sectors.
In-depth knowledge of high-density interconnect (HDI) PCB technology.
Proficiency in defining a PCB stackup that minimizes cost while still achieving excellent EMI/EMC performance.
Detailed understanding of common high-speed serial communication busses (e.g., USB2/3, MIPI D-PHY, MIPI M-PHY, PCIe, Ethernet).
Thorough understanding of Power Integrity (PI) and Signal Integrity (SI) design principles, and a solid understanding of electrical signal propagation.
Proficiency with a SPICE-based circuit simulator or a signal/power integrity design tool (SI/PI).
Good working knowledge of all key drone technologies, with expert-level experience in at least three (e.g., brushless DC motor drive, inertial sensors, GPS, lithium-ion batteries, camera interfaces, radio modules).
Proficiency in use of laboratory test equipment.
Proficiency in Altium Designer.
Working understanding of Agile and Waterfall design and development methodologies.
Excellent communication skills in writing reports and corresponding with manufacturers.

Salary: $200,000 - $210,000
