Electronic Design Engineer – Autopilot & Edge Perception Hardware

Department: Perception & Autonomy

Location: Bangalore

Employment Type: FullTime

We're Hiring: Electronic Design Engineer – Autopilot & Edge Perception Hardware

Full time | Core team

LAT Aerospace | Defence

At LAT Aerospace, we’re building India’s first clean-sheet hybrid-electric STOL aircraft and a next-generation autonomy stack powering aircraft for complex missions. Our team is kicking off a new chapter — developing the full flight-control, obstacle-avoidance, GNSS-denied navigation, and swarm-coordination layers that will define LAT’s autonomy architecture.

We’re hiring two Electronic Design Engineers who will design the core electronics that run LAT’s autonomy stack:

1. Autopilot & flight-control hardware

2. Edge perception compute modules for real-time vision + sensor fusion

This team owns the full lifecycle — architecture, schematic design, PCB layout, bring-up, testing, and integration on real UAV platforms.

What you’ll do

• Design next-generation autopilot hardware, including sensor interfaces, MCU/SoC architectures, power conditioning, redundancy, and safety-critical pathways.

• Develop edge perception compute hardware for onboard SLAM, vision, and multi-sensor fusion — balancing compute, thermal, and form-factor constraints.

• Create schematics, PCB layouts (4–12 layer) and review boards for manufacturability, noise immunity, and aerospace reliability.

• Select and integrate IMUs, compasses, barometers, GNSS modules, high-speed interfaces, and sensor conditioning circuits.

• Design high-speed digital, mixed-signal, and low-noise analog circuits for flight and perception systems.

• Own bring-up, debugging, and validation of avionics and compute boards using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power analyzers, and test jigs.

• Work closely with the Embedded Software, GNC, Perception, and Autonomy teams to ensure hardware supports real-time compute, sensor fusion, and control requirements.

• Ensure thermal, EMI/EMC, vibration, and power integrity compliance for UAV integration.

• Support manufacturing, testing, and reliability qualification for flight-ready hardware.

What we're looking for

• Strong experience in electronic circuit design, mixed-signal systems, and PCB development.

• Comfortable with MCUs, SoCs, FPGAs, sensor interfaces, and high-speed digital design.

• Hands-on experience with Altium, KiCad, or similar EDA tools.

• Deep understanding of signal integrity, power integrity, grounding, EMI/EMC, and thermal constraints.

• Experience designing robust boards for robotics, drones, automotive, aerospace, or industrial systems.

• Ability to design and debug power supplies, DC-DC converters, regulators, and battery interfaces.

• Strong hardware bring-up skills using lab equipment.

• Ability to rigorously document designs and create repeatable hardware workflows.

Why LAT?

• Core-team role building the autonomy brain of India’s most ambitious aerospace startup.

• Ownership, speed, and the opportunity to define a new class of systems from scratch.
