OverviewLocation: Los Angeles, CA or Vancouver, BCJob Type: Full-TimeSalary: Depends on experience and locationAbout Kyte Dynamics: We're redefining what's possible in the sky. Our next-gen aerial vehicle architecture unlocks safe, ultra-precise access to people and infrastructure even in high gust conditions. From lightning-fast food and medical delivery to cutting-edge industrial applications, we're building the future of airborne operations. Trusted by iconic brands. Backed by world-class investors. Join us as we build this new industry called aerial robotics.About the Role: We are seeking a Senior Mechatronics Engineer with a robust multidisciplinary background spanning electrical, mechanical, and embedded systems. This role combines circuit design, mechanical integration, and embedded software development to deliver reliable, high-performance drone platforms for mission-critical applications. You'll be a key driver of our aerial robotics program—developing and integrating avionics, power systems, structural components, and embedded software. Ideal candidates are hands-on engineers with strong system-level thinking and experience building robust, fault-tolerant platforms for real-world deployment in aerospace, robotics, or industrial environments.What You'll DoDesign, simulate, and implement digital and analog circuits using Altium DesignerDevelop mechanical subsystems and support system integration using CAD tools and rapid prototyping techniquesCreate detailed schematics and multilayer PCB layouts with attention to EMI/EMC, signal integrity, and manufacturabilityDevelop and debug embedded software in C/C++ for flight controllers, sensor interfaces,



and motor controlIntegrate electrical, mechanical, and embedded systems into complete flight-capable platformsCollaborate cross-functionally with software, autonomy, and manufacturing teams to bring up, validate, and iterate on drone hardwareDocument design specifications, integration plans, and test procedures for validation and flight readinessContribute to and support hardened and/or redundant architectures for high-reliability aerial operationsWhat You'll NeedBachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Mechatronics, Electrical, Mechanical, Aerospace, or related engineering discipline5+ years of experience in cross-functional hardware development (mechanical, electrical, and embedded systems)Proficiency in Altium Designer and embedded C/C++ developmentExperience with CAD tools for mechanical design and integrationStrong understanding of embedded systems, microcontrollers, sensors, actuators, and power systemsExperience with flight controller platforms (e.G., PX4, Pixhawk) and common communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, Ethernet)Hands-on experience with prototyping, debugging, and testing integrated hardware systemsPreferred QualificationsExperience with autonomous aerial systems, drones, or roboticsBackground in designing for safety-critical or high-reliability systems (e.G., aerospace, automotive, defense)Familiarity with RTOS environments and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testingUnderstanding of fault-tolerant design, FMEA, or environmental testing standardsExperience taking systems from concept to flight-tested deploymentsCompensation and BenefitsSalary: depends on experience and locationHealth, dental, and vision insurance #J-18808-Ljbffr
