Job Description

Overview

Tyto Robotics is seeking an entry-level Electrical Engineer to join our engineering team. We design, develop, and build data acquisition systems for propulsion systems used on UAVs and eVTOLs.

As an Electrical Engineer, you will contribute to development projects in areas such as circuit design, signal processing, firmware development, and sensor instrumentation.

This position requires a strong portfolio of projects, and candidates are encouraged to showcase relevant projects from their academic studies or previous internships.

Responsibilities

Circuit Design & Review

Design analog and digital circuits using EDA tools (e.g., KiCad, Altium, Eagle). Conduct design reviews to ensure performance, manufacturability, and compliance with standards. Prepare design documentation and revision history.
Prototyping and Assembly

Assemble and test prototypes, including soldering (SMD and through-hole), drilling, and mechanical integration. Wire and connect components, sensors, and power systems for development and testing. Modify hardware as needed for rapid iteration.
System Integration & Testing

Integrate sensors and subsystems into a functional unit. Perform validation testing, troubleshooting, and debugging using lab equipment.Ensure system performance meets design requirements across electrical, firmware, and mechanical aspects.
Firmware Development

Develop embedded firmware in C/C++ or equivalent for microcontrollers (e.g., STM32, AVR, ESP32). Interface with various hardware peripherals (ADC, I2C, SPI, UART, GPIO, PWM). Support in-field updates, bug fixes, and feature development.
Sensor Instrumentation

Implement and calibrate various sensors for physical measurement (e.g., temperature, pressure, force). Interpret sensor data and integrate it into the system workflow.
Documentation & Reporting

Maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs), schematics (SOM), and test documentation. Write clear and detailed records of tests, design iterations, and technical decisions.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering Being eligible for either EIT in Ontario, or CPI / PRT in Quebec Good to have some internship experience in electrical engineering, more preferably in sensing technologies, signal processing, real-time data processing. Strong academic background in mixed signal design principles. Proficiency in at least one PCB design software Intermediate background in electronics and embedded systems Proficiency in hands-on prototyping and hardware debugging Experience with common lab equipment (multimeter, oscilloscope, logic analyzer Experience using simulation tools (LTspice, PSpice, Simulink, or similar) Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git) Knowledge of of PCB manufacturing and assembly processes (layer stackups, impedance control, DFM/DFT) Demonstrated ability to quickly solve problems, identify root causes, and possess a strong troubleshooting mindset

Assets
