About Remote Robotic Systems Help build advanced systems operating at the intersection of aerospace, robotics, and defence technology.

Remote Robotic

Systems (RRS) is a Canadian robotics and defence-tech company helping organizations deploy enterprise-grade drones, uncrewed aircraft, robotic platforms, sensors, payloads, and remote operations technologies for mission-critical applications. Our solutions support customers across defence, public safety, security, industrial, infrastructure, energy, and government sectors. Through our Airmetal team, we develop advanced aerospace, communications, and autonomous systems designed for demanding real-world environments.

We're a small, fast-moving engineering team that values ownership, technical depth, practical problem solving, and the ability to turn ambitious ideas into working hardware. Airmetal is looking for a Hardware Engineer to design complex embedded electronics from requirements through production-ready hardware. You will work on compute-dense boards at the centre of our platforms, including SoC or SOM carriers, high-speed digital interfaces, multi-rail power systems, sensors, and mixed-signal circuits.

This is a senior, hands-on role on a small hardware team. We're looking for an engineer who combines strong board-design fundamentals with a practical build-test-iterate mindset.

Design

SoC or SOM carrier boards with high-pin-count BGA fanout, pin-mux planning, boot and reset strategy, and multiple logic or power domains. Route high-speed interfaces such as LPDDR or DDR, MIPI CSI-2, USB, PCIe, and Ethernet with controlled impedance, length and skew matching,



and intact return paths. Design multi-rail power architectures from battery input through sequencing, protection, regulation, PDN, and decoupling.

Perform or guide signal- and power-integrity analysis before and after layout. Write firmware and Linux-level tooling for board bring-up, peripheral validation, device-tree work, and automated testing. Bring up boards in the lab, isolate faults to the component or net, and turn findings into design improvements.

Own DFM and DFT inputs, test procedures, documentation, and the transition through fabrication, assembly, and production test. Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent demonstrated experience. Five or more years of professional electronic hardware design experience, with complex boards taken from concept through validated hardware or production.

Hands-on ownership of dense digital boards such as SoC or SOM carriers, high-pin-count BGA designs, or similarly complex embedded systems. Deep experience with multi-rail power design, sequencing, protection, PDN, and decoupling. Working knowledge of signal- and power-integrity analysis.





Enough C or C++ and embedded firmware depth to validate your own hardware at register, RTOS, driver, or embedded Linux level. Fluency with oscilloscopes, logic and protocol analyzers, electronic loads, and related laboratory tools.

Experience with DFM and DFT and board fabrication, assembly, and production-test handoff. Able to work on-site in Kanata, Ontario. FPV, drone, UAS, robotics, aerospace, automotive, or rugged embedded-product experience.

RF coexistence, desense mitigation, and layout around radios or video links. Motor control, battery systems, or high-current power electronics. Automated hardware-test development and production-test strategy.

You value design quality while keeping hardware manufacturable and testable. You collaborate effectively across hardware, software, mechanical, and manufacturing disciplines. A small, multidisciplinary environment where your work is visible and your technical judgement matters.

Competitive compensation, benefits, and equity participation.

Type: Full-time.

Location: On-site in Kanata, ON Compensation: $110,000-$130,000 plus equity and advantages, based on experience and fit for the role.

Security clearance: Some roles are conditional on the ability to obtain and maintain the required security clearance. We may use AI tools to help with parts of our hiring process, such as reviewing applications, screening resumes, and evaluating candidate responses. These tools support our team, but people make all hiring decisions.
