Senior Electronics Engineer

At Auterion, we build a global platform for drones and autonomous robots. In the growing market of autonomous vehicles, we connect high-end software and hardware. Our Munich-based defense engineering team develops the technologies that form the foundation of current and future drone products. As a Senior Electronics Engineer, you will be a member of our interdisciplinary hardware engineering team, driving the design and development of cutting-edge electronics for our next-generation drone platforms. You’ll take ownership of electronic modules such as flight controllers, sensors, and vision systems, leading PCB development from concept to mass production. As part of a cross-functional team, you will develop advanced systems such as interceptor and reconnaissance drones with integrated visual navigation, as well as quadcopters for defense applications. Responsibilities and Duties Design, prototype, and validate advanced avionics PCBs, sensors, and electronic modules for drone platforms, driving concepts from initial ideation through detailed design and manufacturing readiness Plan and execute comprehensive PCB and product verification activities, including test strategy definition, execution, and documentation; perform electrical and mechanical validation such as EMI/EMC compliance testing, thermal cycling, mechanical shock testing, and HALT analysis Produce and maintain technical documentation, including design concepts, schematics and CAD drawings, bills of materials (BOMs), assembly instructions, and repair manuals Collaborate closely with test engineering, manufacturing, and production teams to ensure smooth transition of hardware designs from development to volume production Work closely with product management and customer success teams to align system architecture and interfaces, define electronics requirements, and incorporate feedback from field deployments into
