Senior Electrical & Avionics Engineer
DeltaQuad · Senior Electrical & Avionics Engineer Resilience · DeltaQuad Netherlands
What you will do
As a Senior Electrical & Avionics Engineer, you are the technical owner of the electrical and avionics integrity of our UAV platforms. You define and validate robust power architectures, avionics interfaces and embedded hardware that remain safe and predictable during electrical disturbances, subsystem faults and demanding operations.
This end-to-end role covers system architecture, schematic and PCB design, hardware bring-up, integration, fault investigation, flight validation and controlled release.
What you will do
Define electrical architectures, power trees, load budgets, grounding concepts and critical-load priorities.
Design power distribution, monitoring and protection against brownout, overvoltage, reverse polarity, inrush, short circuits and power interruptions.
Design schematics and multilayer PCBs for power, avionics, sensor, timing and mission-system applications.
Integrate batteries, BMS systems, flight controllers, sensors, servos, radios, payloads and embedded computers.
Develop harnesses, connector definitions, pinouts, shielding details and interface-control documentation.
Integrate systems through CAN, DroneCAN/UAVCAN, UART, Ethernet, SPI, I²C, USB, discrete I/O and PPS/timing interfaces.
Improve reliability through EMI/EMC mitigation, fault containment, derating, power-integrity analysis and fault-injection testing.
Perform hardware bring-up, structured troubleshooting and root-cause analysis of electrical and system-level faults.
Define and execute laboratory, environmental, vibration, thermal, HIL and flight-validation testing.
Maintain schematics, PCB files, BOMs, hardware revisions, test procedures and release documentation.
Develop test fixtures, manufacturing tests and integration standards, and support
handover to Engineering and Production.
