Job description

Freefly Systems, the company that redefined camera movement with the introduction of the Mōvi (a compact, lightweight, 3 axis camera stabilizer) is forming an elite team within the Engineering department to raise the bar even higher. We are on the lookout for a uniquely talented Electrical Engineer to get in on the fun.

As a member of the team, you’ll join us on our mission to develop the next generation of innovative industrial and cinematic products in a fast paced, multidisciplinary, startup environment.

The ideal candidate is a jack of all trades with a diverse portfolio of built work spanning multiple disciplines and demonstrates a thorough understanding of complex electromechanical systems. Experience in multiple software packages, entrepreneurship/consulting, aerospace and/or consumer electronics are a plus. Most importantly, you must have a positive “can do” attitude, play well with others, embrace a challenge, and learn from failure as a critical step toward creating innovative products.

Responsibilities:

• Electrical systems design for subsystems or entire products, from concept through production. 
• Establish requirements and test plans for integrating required peripherals and IO into a product.
• Create wiring diagrams and plan the high-level architecture of a product containing multiple circuit boards and wiring harnesses
• Design, develop, and test electrical subsystems at both the board and product level.
• Perform simulation, testing, and analysis to ensure products that live up to Freefly name
• Multitask across a range of products in varying levels of completion while meeting schedules and hitting milestones.
• Provide cross-functional support to internal and external teams
• Mentor and teach whenever possible

Required Qualifications:

• Experience doing schematic and board design in PCB layout software. 
• Experience designing, building, and deploying the electrical architecture for systems containing multiple circuit boards and wiring harnesses
• Ability to be self-guided in taking a non-functioning electrical system prototype and diagnose the problem, perform design updates, and document solutions and validation tests
• Serial digital communication knowledge (UART, I2C, SPI)
• Experience with designing power distribution architectures, ranging from high power (100+A) to low power (uA-level)
• Hands-on experience with measurement and test equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, etc)
• Experience writing, reviewing, and carrying out test plans at both the board level and system level
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Experience working with multidisciplinary teams
• Passion for learning and problem solving from first principles

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with Altium PCB design software.
• Knowledge of design principles to minimize electromagnetic emissions and improve immunity to electromagnetic interference.
• High speed communication knowledge (USB, Ethernet, HDMI, MIPI)
• High noise-immunity serial busses (RS485, CAN)
• Experience developing high-reliability and/or safety-critical electrical systems with fault-tolerant design redundancy
• Experience with radio communications systems such as serial and Ethernet modems, wifi, GPS receivers, etc.
• ARM Cortex M3/M4/M7 software development or debugging experience
• Knowledge of real-time digital control loop tuning
• Experience diagnosing and/or designing DC-DC converters and 3-phase motor controllers
• Experience defining wiring harnesses, drawing wiring diagrams, and selecting wire and connectors for both in-product and customer facing wires
• Experience with imaging sensors & processing is a plus
• Experience with git or other version control systems

Openings are available for both experienced candidates and exceptional new graduates.
