Define the hardware and system-level architecture for advanced UAV platforms.
Integrate avionics, sensors, communications, propulsion, power distribution, flight controls and payload systems.
Develop clear system architecture, wiring and interconnection diagrams.
Define electrical connections, signal routing and power-distribution requirements.
Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, aerospace and software engineers to establish technical requirements and interface specifications.
Support the physical assembly and integration of aircraft components and subsystems.
Investigate and resolve component compatibility, wiring and integration issues.
Create detailed work instructions for assembly, integration and testing activities.
Document tooling requirements, safety precautions and quality checkpoints.
Develop system-level test plans and validation procedures.
Conduct functional, integration and environmental testing.
Analyse test results and recommend design improvements.
Support ground and flight-testing campaigns for UAV platforms.
Prepare documentation required for flight approvals, operational clearances and regulatory submissions.
Liaise with regulatory authorities and other stakeholders where required.
Maintain accurate system specifications, architecture documents, wiring diagrams, test reports and technical records.
Support the preparation of user manuals and technical documentation.
Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
Professional experience in UAV, aircraft or aerospace systems engineering.
Strong experience defining hardware or system architecture.
Practical knowledge of avionics, sensors, communications, electrical systems, signal routing and power distribution.
