About Wing:

Wing offers drone delivery as a safe, fast, and sustainable solution for last mile logistics. Consumer appetites for on-demand services are increasing, but current delivery methods are inefficient, costly, and contribute to road accidents and air pollution. Wing’s fleet of highly automated delivery drones can transport small packages directly from businesses to homes on-demand, in minutes. We design, build, and operate our aircraft, and offer drone delivery services on two continents. Our technology is designed to be easy to integrate into existing delivery and logistics networks, offering a scalable drone delivery solution for a broad range of businesses. Wing is a part of Google's parent company, Alphabet, and our mission is to create the preferred means of delivery for the planet. If you're ready to do the greatest work of your life, come join us.

About the Role:

Wing is looking for an Electrical Engineer to join our Electrical and Embedded Engineering Team based in Palo Alto, CA. As an Electrical Engineer, you will be part of our nimble design team that is tasked with building unmanned, autonomous delivery vehicles and their support systems. In this role, you will own the end-to-end product lifecycle - from product concept (board design and physical layout) all the way to product mass production. You will also use your solid hardware design skills coupled with your knowledge of system architecture and software considerations for embedded devices. You will own board design from concept to physical layout, and work cross-functionally on system integration.

What You’ll Do:

  • Design, generate electrical schematics/layouts and bring-up circuit board assemblies for digital and mixed-signal printed circuit board assemblies used in cutting-edge autonomous aircraft designs.
  • Collaborate across diverse teams to meet safety, reliability and certification requirements.
  • Design for volume manufacturing and support factory engineers from prototyping to product launch.
  • Drive resolution of cross-functional issues including those related to architecture (performance, power consumption, thermal behavior), production (quality, failure analysis, manufacturing, cost) and development (schematic design, PCB layout and overall system integration).
  • Understand project requirements and translate them into technical requirements to help build system architecture definitions and technology roadmaps that deliver new leading edge aviation technologies that adhere to best in class design, verification, troubleshooting and failure analysis standards.
  • Drive resolution of cross-functional issues including those related to architecture (performance, power consumption, thermal behavior), production (quality, failure analysis, manufacturing, cost) and development (schematic design, PCB layout and overall system integration).

What You’ll Need:

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering/Embedded/Computer Hardware Engineering or equivalent experience
  • 5+ years of design experience in an electronics production environment, including experience with packaging, integration, cost reduction, sourcing and transitioning a product from engineering to manufacturing team.
  • Applied experience with interface technologies: CAN, USB, I2C, RS232, Ethernet and aircraft system technologies: GPS, IMUs, Air Data Systems, Servos/Motors, Cameras and RF Communications.
  • Experience with circuit simulation tools and scripting/automation tools for data collection and analysis.
  • Deep knowledge of overseas supplier base to transition R&D designs to manufacturable products.
  • Strong technical communication/presentation skills and attention to detail.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is the salary range below + bonus + equity + benefits. Wing’s salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your location during the hiring process.
