Destinus is an aerospace technology company founded under the belief that in the future distance shouldn’t matter at all. We are therefore building the near-space vehicle and the associated infrastructure. Moving at the border of Space, our hydrogen-powered vehicles are ten times faster than conventional aircraft, providing the just-in-time backbone for logistics, e-commerce, and supply chain companies who can’t wait. We define a new class of fast: our mission is to bring instantly your stuff to the other part of the world – and we mean it literally.

We have an exciting opportunity for an Electronic Design Engineer to join our embedded firmware/software team. In this role, you will be responsible for designing, manufacturing, and testing custom PCBs. These PCBs, equipped with microcontrollers (such as STM32), SOCs (like Zynq), power supplies, and analogue blocks, are essential for orchestrating the complex sequencing of sensors, valves, and actuators. This orchestration is crucial for controlling the propulsion and cryogenic fuel storage systems of aircraft.

Tasks

• Derive block diagrams from requirements and select suitable architectures and implementations to meet these requirements
• Define electrical architecture, select components, perform analysis, capture schematics, prototype, bring up, debug, document, manage products, and oversee manufacturing and testing of the designed equipment
• Generate comprehensive production data packages for PCB manufacturers
• Define mechanical layouts and mounting methods
• Document connector interfaces and support harnessing teams with loom designs
• Work closely with software and firmware teams for initial testing and integration
• Write software to validate the board, including Acceptance Test Procedures (ATP)
• Support integration and testing at both the subsystem and system levels
• Provide support for hardware through test, production, integration, and flight phases
