The role

As an Electrical Engineer at DeltaQuad, you take technical ownership of the design and integration of mission-critical electrical systems for advanced UAV platforms. You are responsible for defining the electrical architecture and integrating subsystems, including power distribution, avionics, C2, and GCS interfaces, sensors, and mission payloads, with a strong focus on reliability, safety, and scalable series production.

You apply your in-depth knowledge of power electronics, energy management, and battery/BMS systems, and you are actively involved in the design and review of schematics and PCBs for high-power, high-reliability, production-ready, EMC-critical applications, ensuring designs are suitable for large-scale manufacturing and consistent quality.

You enjoy solving complex technical challenges, applying EMC/EMI, redundancy, and fail-operational concepts, and designing electrical systems that are robust, manufacturable, and reliable in series production, thereby contributing to a seamlessly integrated, operationally dependable platform.

Your work directly contributes to meaningful innovations that strengthen safety, resilience, and operational capabilities across Europe.

Key tasks and responsibilities

• Extensive experience in electrical system design for mission-critical UAV applications

• Strong knowledge of power electronics, energy management, and battery/BMS systems

• Design and review of schematics and PCBs (high-power, high-reliability, EMC-critical)

• Solid understanding of RF fundamentals (signal integrity, impedance matching, grounding) and integration of antennas, radios, GNSS, and data links

• Strong background in EMC/EMI, including the coexistence of high-power electronics and RF communication systems

• Experience designing for product stability, reliability, and large-scale series production

• Experience with certification and compliance (e.g. aerospace and military standards, qualification testing)

• Knowledge of FPGA-based systems, including integration, interfaces, and hardware–software interaction

• Experience with redundancy, fail-operational, and safety concepts

• Performing FMEA, FTA, and reliability and safety analyses

• Defining and leading verification, validation, and acceptance testing

• Experience with system integration of sensors, communication systems, RF links, and mission payloads

What you bring

• A bachelor’s or master’s degree in Systems & Control, Aerospace, or Mechatronics Engineering, with a strong foundation in vehicle dynamics, control theory, and aerodynamics

• At least 5 years of relevant experience in control system design, integration, or UAV/robotic product development

• embedded controllers, sensors and actuators, as well as communication interfaces (CAN, UART, Ethernet) for real-time UAV system integration

• Experience with UAV platforms, robotic systems, or autonomous vehicles, including simulation, Hardware-in-the-Loop, testing, and flight validation

• A proactive team player who communicates clearly, takes ownership, and collaborates across systems, mechanical design, electrical, and flight test teams

• Committed to robust, scalable, and reliable UAV system solutions suitable for large-scale production and operational deployment

What we offer

• Coaching and professional growth opportunities.

• 27 vacation days (based on full-time).

• 38-hour workweek with flexible working hours.

• Travel reimbursement of €0.25/km or full compensation for public transport (2nd class).

• Excellent pension scheme through the PME pension fund.

• Work in an innovative, high-tech environment with real-world impact.

• Open, informal company culture where your ideas are valued.

• Lunch provided by DeltaQuad, monthly team drinks, and regular team activities.

Please note that, as part of our recruitment process, we may request a Certificate of Conduct (VOG) and conduct a background screening in accordance with our screening policy. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation throughout this process.
