Your Impact: Dedrone stands out as the global leader in airspace defense technology and counter UAS solutions. Leveraging advanced AI/ML technologies, we deliver an all-encompassing solution for drone detection, identification, tracking, and neutralization — safeguarding critical infrastructure, governmental operations, and commercial interests from unauthorized drone activity, across both on-premise and cloud-based configurations. Engineering at Dedrone is tasked with delivering innovative solutions and products to maintain our position on the cutting-edge of innovation. Sr. Electrical Engineers at Dedrone have full ownership of electrical system and subsystem development for next generation cUAS platforms from concept through production, whose work is highly visible to even the most senior executives. Our passionate leadership and cross-functional collaboration with mechanical engineers, firmware and software engineers, product managers, and manufacturing teams is vital to the success of the team and ensuring the safety of the general public for generations to come. This role emphasizes high-speed electrical system architecture — spanning high-speed PCB design (FPGAs, processors, and DDR memory), RF sensor front-ends and antenna integration, firmware integration, power systems, and system-level verification. High-speed digital design is central to this role, complemented by RF design experience relevant to Dedrone's sensor hardware. The ideal candidate will have strong hands-on experience with PCB layout, mixed-signal and RF design, high-speed digital design, embedded firmware, and designing for rugged/regulated environments. What You'll Do: Work Location : This role is based out of our Kassel, Germany office and follows a hybrid schedule. We rely on in-person collaboration and ask that team members work onsite Tuesdays through Fridays, with the flexibility to work remotely on Mondays, unless there is an approved workplace accommodation. We believe that connection fuels innovation, and our in-office culture is designed to foster meaningful teamwork, mentorship, and shared success. • Lead electrical system and subsystem development from concept through production, ensuring designs meet safety, EMC, and reliability standards. • Define electrical architectures for RF sensors, power distribution, and control electronics for cUAS platforms. • Design and review schematics and perform PCB layout for mixed‑signal, high‑speed digital, and RF boards — owning the full high‑speed PCB development lifecycle for components including FPGAs, processors, and DDR memory, with emphasis on signal integrity; partner with mechanical for packaging and thermal constraints. • Lead selection and design of FPGA and processor components, applying market expertise to guide component choices and high‑performance schematic and layout decisions. • Develop, validate, and optimize power systems (battery management, DC/DC, power sequencing) and ensure robust operation under shock and vibration. • Perform hardware bring‑up, debugging, and system integration; use lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers) to characterize high‑speed digital and RF performance. • Conduct e
