Senior Electronics Engineer - Mission-Critical Drone Payloads

Tundra Drone develops advanced payloads for drones used in defense, public safety, and other demanding professional operations. Our products are built for users who depend on them in the field. What we develop must work in real conditions — not just in theory.

We build compact, robust, high-performance products where every gram, millimeter, and design choice matters. We are looking for a Senior Electronics Engineer who can lead hardware development and take ownership from concept to production.

You will work closely with mechanical, software, and systems engineers to develop electronics for demanding real-world use. This role requires strong technical judgment, a high level of ownership, and the ability to move work forward under real engineering constraints.

The role is based in Kautokeino, Norway. That is a real advantage. The Arctic environment gives us one of the best places possible to test products under harsh conditions. Products developed and proven here are built to perform anywhere.

You will have real influence on products, architecture, and technical direction.

Responsibilities

• Lead design and development of electronic hardware for drone payloads
• Create schematics, PCB layouts, and prototypes
• Test, debug, and improve designs for performance, reliability, and robustness
• Work closely with software, mechanical, and systems engineering
• Select components and make sound technical tradeoffs
• Contribute to industrialization and production readiness
• Set a high technical standard through your own work

What we are looking for

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in electronics, electrical engineering, or similar
• Strong experience in electronics design and embedded hardware
• Solid skills in schematics, PCB design, debugging, validation, and bring-up
• Good understanding of analog and digital electronics, power, and signal integrity
• Experience taking products from prototype to production
• Comfortable making tradeoffs under real engineering constraints
• High level of ownership, execution, and engineering judgment
• Comfortable working in a small, hands-on, high-expectation environment

A plus

• Experience with UAVs, aerospace, rugged electronics, or defense-related systems
• Experience with compact, weight-sensitive, or power-constrained products
