Electrical Engineer

Airhart

Most airplanes today still use avionics designed around decades-old assumptions. We think that’s one of the biggest reasons general aviation remains difficult to learn and intimidating to use.

We’re building an integrated avionics platform that makes flying dramatically simpler and safer, with the long-term goal of making personal flight accessible to far more people.

Our team includes engineers from companies like SpaceX and pilots who have spent thousands of hours flying existing systems. We’ve experienced firsthand how difficult aircraft are to build and operate, and we’re designing both the product and the company differently from the ground up.

Today we’re shipping our first generation avionics system into experimental aircraft. That means every manufacturing decision you make directly affects something that will eventually fly.

The Role

We're looking for an electrical engineer who enjoys building hardware that actually works—not just designing it.

Our avionics platform consists of flight computers, displays, engine monitoring systems, power electronics, networking hardware, sensor interfaces, and fly-by-wire electronics. As an Electrical Engineer, you'll own one or more of these boards throughout their lifecycle.

You'll spend as much time in the lab as you do in CAD. One day you might be tracking down a difficult signal integrity issue on a prototype. The next you could be updating a design to improve manufacturability, validating a hardware fix, or starting the schematic for an entirely new board.

This is an excellent role for someone with roughly 1–2 years of industry experience—or an exceptional new graduate who has already designed, assembled, and debugged complex PCBs through internships, Formula SAE, CubeSat, rocketry, robotics, or other substantial engineering projects.

What You'll Do

• Own one or more avionics PCBAs from prototype through production.

• Bring up new hardware and verify circuit operation.

• Debug electrical issues using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters, and other lab equipment.

• Work with firmware engineers to validate new hardware and diagnose system-level issues.

• Update schematics and layouts to improve reliability, manufacturability, cost, and performance.

• Support prototype builds and work directly with manufacturing to resolve production issues.

• Review test results and determine root causes of hardware failures.

• Design and validate simple test setups for hardware verification.

• As you grow, take ownership of clean-sheet designs for new avionics hardware.
