Description
About the Role Imagine this – At Destinus, our UAVs don't just fly — they push the limits of what unmanned aerospace can do. Behind every successful mission is a foundation of rigorous testing. We are looking for a hands-on Electronic Test Engineer to join our Testing Team, with a specific focus on sensor integration, DAQ systems, electrical measurements on PCBs, and functional testing of Electronic Speed Controllers (ESCs) and electric motors. This is a lab-centered role where your work directly impacts the reliability and performance of flight-critical systems. At Destinus we are revolutionizing the defense industry with cutting-edge Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Our innovative technologies are designed to meet the unique demands of modern defense operations, delivering unparalleled speed, precision, and cost effectiveness. Destinus partners with government agencies and defense organizations worldwide to provide advanced solutions for mission-critical operations, enabling a new era of efficiency and technological superiority. Join us in shaping the future of defense with groundbreaking aerospace innovations. What You’ll Do Senior Integration & DAQ Integrate sensors (current, voltage, temperature, vibration, etc.) into DAQ systems for real-time monitoring of PCB and power electronics behavior. Select, calibrate, and validate sensors appropriate to the measurement needs (electrical, thermal, mechanical). Design and wire measurement setups ensure signal integrity, proper grounding, and noise rejection. Build and maintain data acquisition pipelines from sensor to logged dataset, enabling repeatable test conditions PCB Testing & Failure Analysis Perform electrical measurements on PCBs including voltage rails, current consumption, signal integrity, and thermal profiles. Use lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, power supplies, multimeters, logic analyzers) to characterize board behavior under operating conditions. Support root cause analysis of electronic failures by correlating measurement data with design documentation. Develop test fixtures and breakout setups to access and measure PCB test points reliably. Work closely with R&D engineers to provide measurement data that improves understanding of failure modes ESC & Electric Motor Testing Design and execute test procedures for Electronic Speed Controllers (ESCs), including timing calibration, throttle response, current limiting, and thermal behavior. Set up and operate motor dynamometer or equivalent test benches to characterize electric motors under load. Measure and analyze electrical parameters (back-EMF, phase currents, powerfactor, efficiency) across operating conditions. Identify anomalies in ESC-motor interaction (e.g., demagnetization, commutation issues, resonance) using measurement data. Collaborate with the R&D team to iterate on ESC firmware and motor selection based on test results General Test Engineering Write Python scripts to automate data acquisition, instrument control, and test sequencing. Create and maintain technical documentation including test procedures, measurement reports, and failure logs. Contribute to the design of test rig hardware and help select components for measurement setups. Support the Production team with go/no-go electrical tests for manufactured PCBs and drive assemblies. Requirements What You’ll Need 3–6 years of experience in electronics testing, measurement engineering, or a related hands-on role. Strong knowledge of e
