TYTAN Technologies
The PACE is fast. The expectations are high. The contribution matters. Working at TYTAN is more than a job, this is a mission. We push boundaries, think big, and hold ourselves to the highest standard. Our mission and values guide everything we do, and we're looking for people who are driven by ownership, embrace challenges, and are energized by meaningful work. If you're motivated by impact and thrive in dynamic environments, you'll fit right in.
At TYTAN, we aim to set a global standard in autonomous air defense with AI-driven, cost-efficient systems that counter unmanned aerial threats at scale. We protect people. We protect critical infrastructure. We protect European sovereignty.
We are seeking a driven and hands-on Senior Electronics Hardware Engineer to join our fast-growing drone development team. This role is ideal for an early-career professional who is passionate about electronics, eager to develop high-quality PCBAs, and excited to contribute to cutting-edge UAV systems. As a key player in our interdisciplinary engineering team, you will work at the intersection of hardware and embedded systems to help bring our UAVs from prototype to production.
Your roadmap to make an impact
- Design and develop printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) for UAV platforms, including schematics and layout
- Support rapid prototyping and iteration cycles by assembling, testing, and debugging electronic systems in the lab
- Collaborate closely with embedded software engineers to ensure seamless hardware/software integration
- Maintain and improve our component library and hardware development documentation
- Participate in hardware reviews and contribute to design decisions with a focus on robustness, manufacturability, and EMI mitigation
- Interface with manufacturing partners to support DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and bring designs into series production
- Passionate about drones, robotics, and innovative hardware systems
Requirements
