Open Positions

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 gimbal 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:

• Ability to complete complex schematic and board design in PCB layout software efficiently. 

• Ability to design, build, and deploy 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

• Passion for learning and problem solving from first principles

• 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

• 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)

 

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

 

Salary Range: $100,000 - $150,000/yr

 

We value learning agility vs experience, so if you are passionate about joining the team but don’t hit all our preferred qualifications please reach out anyway!
