Requires completion of at least two years of a relevant degree and experience with electrical design tools.
About the job
Responsibilities
- Own a hardware development project tailored to the co-op's start date, duration, and location.
- Contribute to autonomous aircraft development and critical-path engineering objectives.
- Design circuit boards involving analog, digital, mixed-signal, and high-speed circuits for prototype flight-computer testing.
- Design, simulate, and verify high-voltage power electronics, including DC/DC converters and DC/AC inverters above 10 kW.
- Bring up and validate avionics systems with guidance from a senior engineer.
- Identify bugs and drive corrective changes.
- Build test racks to provide fully automated test coverage for flight-critical subsystems.
- Run HALT campaigns to assess circuit-board reliability.
Requirements
- Completed at least the second year of a relevant degree, typically electrical engineering.
- Strong technical fundamentals.
- Participation in an engineering team or club.
- Experience with electrical design software and tools such as Altium, KiCad, and oscilloscopes.
- Demonstrated ownership of project outcomes and ability to deliver results.
- Ability to work as a trustworthy, collaborative teammate and maintain high standards.
Compensation and Benefits
- Paid, full-time co-op program spanning multiple months during the academic year.
