Electrical Engineer - Avionics at Wardstone

We are looking for a hands-on Electrical Engineer to lead the development of high-reliability electronics for our interceptor prototypes and future VLEO satellites. You will own everything from board-level design to power systems, sensor integration, EMI/EMC, and flight hardware integration. Expect to work directly with founders, integrate components, run tests, and ship hardware that flies and intercepts targets. If you’re excited by high-stakes engineering, rapid prototyping, and pushing physics boundaries, we are going to get along great! Electrical Design & Prototyping Design, simulate, and develop PCBs for sensing, actuation, power, and avionics. Own schematic capture, layout, DFM, component selection, and vendor interaction. Develop high-reliability power systems (DC–DC, battery systems, protection circuits, transient management). Sensor and Actuator Solutions Integrate IR cameras, Radar, IMUs, GNSS, rad-hard components, and electromechanical actuators. Develop signal-conditioning circuits, sensor fusion interfaces, and low-latency sensing+actuation to enable the autopilot to control the vehicle. Flight Hardware & Harsh-Environment Design Perform thermal, vibration, and shock
