About Wing:

Wing is reshaping the future of delivery. We are an on-demand drone delivery service that can deliver food, medicine or other items within minutes. We’ve also developed an unmanned traffic management platform to safely route drones through the sky. Our service is faster, safer and produces far less pollution than traditional delivery. Originally created in 2012 within X, the Moonshot Factory, Wing is now an Alphabet company.

About the Role:

Wing is looking for a Hardware Engineer to join our Aircraft Engineering team based in Palo Alto, CA. The ideal candidate has a passion for aviation, demonstrated experience building production systems, and the ability to deliver results as part of a dynamic, cross-functional team.

What you’ll do:

• Specify, design and test battery management systems that will power Wing aircraft
• Collaborate across diverse teams to meet safety, reliability and certification requirements
• Design for volume manufacturing and support factory engineers from prototyping to product launch. International travel for build support up to 15%
• 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
• Perform data analysis and generate engineering documentation (design drawing, documents, test plans, procedures and reports)

What you'll need:

• BS degree in Electrical Engineering/Embedded/Computer Hardware Engineering or equivalent practical experience
• Minimum 5 years of design experience in an electronics production environment, including experience with packaging, integration, cost reduction, sourcing and transitioning a product to the manufacturing team
• Experience with architecture, design, and implementation of efficient battery chemistries for embedded applications
• Strong technical communication/presentation skills and attention to detail
• Solid understanding of size, weight, power, processing resources and cost constraints needed by real-time, embedded avionics platforms

Bonus:

• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering/Embedded/Computer Hardware Engineering and/or 8 years of relevant design experience
