About the role
- Heart is targeting type certification of the ES-30 by the end of the decade.
Responsibilities
- Architect & design PCBAs for high-reliability, mixed-signal, and power-conversion applications (up to 900 V DC and high-speed digital buses).
- Own schematic capture, component selection, and constraint-driven layout using Altium Designer (or similar), while enforcing design rules for signal integrity, thermal management, and manufacturability.
- Perform design reviews, simulations, and worst-case circuit analyses (SI/PI, DFMEA, thermal, EMC) to meet DO-160, DO-254, and RTCA environmental standards.
- Lead bring-up and validation testing, authoring test plans and writing Python/Rust/C test scripts in collaboration with software engineers.
- Collaborate daily with mechanical engineers to optimize board outlines & connectors.
- Drive continuous improvement in Heart's electronics development workflow-automating checks, tightening version control, and mentoring junior engineers.
- In this role, you will design multiple boards in parallel, coordinate build schedules, and work closely with software and mechanical teams to deliver tightly integrated subsystems for flight-critical applications.
Requirements
- Proven ownership of at least one product from concept to volume production
- Proficiency in ECAD tools (Altium or equivalent)
- Expertise in high-speed communication (Ethernet), power electronics (up to kW-level), and embedded-system interfaces (CAN, ARINC-429, Ethernet, SPI/I²C).
- Hands-on experience with lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, VNAs, thermal chambers) and debugging of EMI/EMC issues.
- 3+ years of professional experience in PCBA design and NPI for safety-critical or aerospace products.
Nice to have
- Experience certifying electronics for Part 23/25 aircraft or eVTOL platforms.
- Bachelor's or master's in electrical engineering (or equivalent).
Compensation
- $113,000 - $216,000 USD
Company info
- As we transition from prototype to production, we are expanding our in-house electronics capability to deliver flight-worthy actuators, controls, and monitoring systems that match the ambition of our aircraft.
- We are seeking a Electrical Engineer who excels in owning the full printed-circuit-board assembly (PCBA) lifecycle-from concept and schematic capture through layout, verification, and manufacturing release.
- At Heart Aerospace, we are developing the ES-30, a regional hybrid-electric airplane capable of carrying 30 passengers, boasting an electric zero-emission range of 200 km and an extended hybrid range of 800 km.
