Hardware Engineer

At eyesAtop, we accelerate the delivery of the most advanced drones and AI capabilities directly into the hands of warfighters.

Our universal controller lets one operators seamlessly orchestrate multiple drones, shifting risk to machines and keeping soldiers safer while providing superior intelligence and situational awareness.

We are looking for a senior, versatile hands-on Hardware Engineer to independently own PCB development from architecture and component selection through schematic design, layout, bring-up, debugging, and release to production.

This role requires someone who is comfortable doing the work hands-on, while serving as a technical focal point through design reviews, mentorship, and close collaboration with software, mechanical, and system engineers.

What You'll Do

• Own board-development projects end to end - components choice and electrical system definition, schematic design, hands-on PCB layout, transfer to production, hands-on board bringup, testing, debugging and validation

• Serve as a professional focal point for PCB design across digital, mixed-signal, RF, and power domains, leading schematic and layout design reviews

• Collaborate closely with mechanics, embedded software and system engineers during design, integration and testing

• Expand to broader technical initiatives outside of core PCB design, such as embedded software, RF system-level work, and other areas of additional expertise

Requirements

• Ability to independently drive rapid board iterations while collaborating effectively with hardware, software, mechanical, and system engineering counterparts

• 6+ years of relevant hardware engineering experience

• Proven experience delivering PCB designs from concept to production

• Extensive hands-on PCB layout experience using professional ECAD tools

• Strong digital and mixed-signal design fundamentals; experience with digital interfaces such as USB, Ethernet, MIPI, and CAN bus

• Experience with basic RF circuit design and RF PCB layout, including controlled impedance, matching networks, grounding, and shielding

• Hands-on experience with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and spectrum analyzers

• B.Sc. in electrical or electronics engineering, or equivalent experience

Bonus Points

• Embedded software development experience

• RF front-end design, antenna integration, RF measurements, or VNA experience

• KiCad experience

• Experience with military, industrial, or similar certification processes
