À propos

About Us: Collaborative autonomy is how self-tasking teams of machines will solve hard human problems, and HavocAI is an unquestioned leader in collaborative autonomy. We set the standard for autonomous surface vessels for a wide range of defense and commercial maritime missions. Success requires us to grow quickly, and we’re looking for teammates who are passionate about solving hard problems, about pushing the envelope, and about preventing conflict and saving lives. Ambition is welcome to apply within. Role Overview HavocAI is seeking an Embedded Electronics Engineer to design, build, and validate the hardware that powers our autonomous systems. This role is for someone whose instinct is to reach for a schematic before a terminal, and who takes pride in building boards that work the first time — and keep working in real-world operating environments. This role sits at the hardware layer. You will own PCB design and bring‑up across three core areas: power electronics and motor drive, embedded compute and SoC integration, and the vehicle electronics backbone that ties systems together. Software teams will own the stack above the hardware abstraction layer; your job is to ensure the hardware beneath it is fast, reliable, manufacturable, and ready for whatever platform comes next. What You’ll Own Power Electronics & Motor Drive Design and build electronic speed controllers and motor drive stages for brushless actuators across aerial, ground, and novel platforms
Select and validate FETs, gate drivers, shunt resistors, and passives to meet current handling, thermal, and efficiency targets
Implement low‑level motor drive firmware, including FOC and BLDC commutation, on embedded MCUs as needed to validate and characterize hardware designs
Conduct power stage characterization, including efficiency curves, thermal mapping, and protection behavior under fault and overload conditions
Design telemetry signal chains for current sense, temperature, RPM, and related vehicle data
Define electrical interfaces to upstream systems
Work across voltage domains and platform types, adapting designs to the power budget, operating environment, and form factor of each vehicle
Embedded Compute & SoC Hardware Design and bring up custom carrier boards and daughter boards for SoC and System‑on‑Module platforms across HavocAI’s vehicle family
Own schematic capture and PCB layout for mixed‑signal boards integrating power, high‑speed digital interfaces, and analog sensor chains
Define and validate electrical interfaces between compute hardware and vehicle subsystems, including power rails, reset sequencing, SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, PCIe, and USB
Conduct board bring‑up and electrical validation, including rail profiling, signal integrity checks, and fault isolation
Iterate hardware through DFM review, coordinate with contract manufacturers, and own the board revision process
Vehicle Electronics Integration Design the electrical architecture that connects power, actuation, sensing, and compute subsystems across diverse vehicle types
Specify and select connectors, cabling, EMI mitigation components, and protection circuits appropriate to each operating environment and vibration profile
Define and document electrical interfaces between hardware and the software teams building above it, including pin definitions, timing constraints, and power requirements
Support field validation and hardware debugging through flight test, drive test, and field deployment
Contribute to hardware design standards and participate in reviews of other engineers’ work
What We’re Looking For Core Requirements 4+ years of hands‑on PCB design and hardware bring‑up experience, including boards you personally took from schematic to validated prototype
Proficiency with a professional EDA tool such as KiCad, Altium, Cadence, or equivalent
Demonstrated depth in at least one of the following areas: power electronics / motor drive design or mixed‑signal embedded compute hardware
Strong understanding of PCB layout fundamentals for switching power, high‑speed digital interfaces, and analog signal integrity
Hands‑on characterization experience using oscilloscopes, power analyzers, thermal cameras, bench power supplies, and related lab equipment
Ability to write enough C/C++ to validate your own hardware, including register map tests and basic drivers
Comfort operating in a fast‑moving engineering environment where hardware quickly moves from prototype to field use
Highly Valued Experience ESC design, including FET selection, gate drive design, shoot‑through protection, and motor commutation characterization
SoC or SoM carrier board design, including USB3, PCIe, MIPI, power sequencing, and rail supervision
CAN bus hardware design and termination; experience with DroneCAN, CANopen, or CAN FD is a plus
Multi‑layer PCB layout with controlled impedance, via stitching, and careful ground plane management
Experience taking boards through DFM, DFA, and contract manufacturing production
Inertial and environmental sensor integration, including IMUs, barometers, magnetometers, analog front‑end design, and layout best practices
Battery management and protection circuit design for LiPo or Li‑ion packs
Transferable Backgrounds We Value We are especially interested in candidates with experience in: Power electronics for EV drivetrains, industrial motor control, or robotics actuators
Avionics hardware design for manned aviation, unmanned systems, or aerospace platforms
Mixed‑signal PCB design for instrumentation, industrial control, or test equipment
Hardware engineering at a startup or defense contractor where you owned the full board lifecycle
Research prototyping environments where hardware was actually built, tested, deployed, and iterated
Success in This Role A successful Embedded Electronics Engineer at HavocAI will be able to take ambiguous platform needs and turn them into robust, field‑ready electronics. You will be expected to move quickly, make sound technical tradeoffs, validate your own designs, and stay close to the systems as they move from bench to vehicle to field deployment. You should be comfortable owning the full lifecycle of your hardware — from architecture and schematic capture through layout, bring‑up, testing, manufacturing feedback, and operational support. Benefits: 100% Employer paid Health, Dental and Vision Insurance for you and your families
Life Insurance (Employer Paid)
Ability to participate in the companies 401k program (Matching)
Unlimited PTO policy with an enforced 2 week minimum
Equity Package
Work / Home Office Stipend
Global Entry
16 Week Paid Parental Leave
Monthly Health and Wellness Stipend
Our Values: Innovation: We are driven to break new ground. Every day presents an opportunity to challenge the status quo, think boldly, and deliver advanced solutions that transform the future of defense technology.
