About Kyte Dynamics: We’re redefining what’s possible in the sky. Our next-gen aerial vehicle architecture unlocks secure, 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 strong 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 Do Design, simulate, and implement digital and analog circuits using Altium Designer

Develop mechanical subsystems and support system integration using CAD tools and rapid prototyping techniques

Create detailed schematics and multilayer PCB layouts with attention to EMI/EMC, signal integrity, and manufacturability

Develop and debug embedded software in C/C++ for flight controllers, sensor interfaces, and motor control





Integrate electrical, mechanical, and embedded systems into complete flight-capable platforms

Collaborate cross-functionally with software, autonomy, and manufacturing teams to bring up, validate, and iterate on drone hardware

Document design specifications, integration plans, and test procedures for validation and flight readiness

Contribute to and support hardened and/or redundant architectures for high-reliability aerial operations What You’ll Need Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Mechatronics, Electrical, Mechanical, Aerospace, or related engineering discipline

5+ years of experience in cross-functional hardware development (mechanical, electrical, and embedded systems)

Proficiency in Altium Designer and embedded C/C++ development

Experience with CAD tools for mechanical design and integration

Strong understanding of embedded systems, microcontrollers, sensors, actuators, and power systems

Experience 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 systems Preferred Qualifications Experience with autonomous aerial systems, drones, or robotics

Background in designing for safety-critical or high-reliability systems (e.g., aerospace, automotive, defense)

Familiarity with RTOS environments and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing

Understanding of fault-tolerant design, FMEA, or environmental testing standards

Experience taking systems from concept to flight-tested deployments Compensation and Benefits Salary: depends on experience and location

Health, dental, and vision insurance
