Deployed Hardware Engineer, Arondite

• MSc or MEng in a technical or engineering subject
• Experience with rapid prototyping and working on mechanical and electronic systems/components, as well as embedded software
• Experience using a major 3D CAD tool (ideally Solidworks) to create parts for 3D printing, laser cutting, injection moulding, machining and sheet metal fabrication
• Ability to design and modify electrical and electronic circuits
• Practical workshop skills using hand and power tools to modify and integrate hardware systems
• Hands-on experience with instruments such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analysers, signal generators for testing and debugging complex systems
• Some programming skills in C/C++ and/or Python
• We believe in working closely with defence customers. As a result, this role will require the individual to hold a clearance or be willing to undergo UK security vetting to Security Check (SC) or above. This normally requires having continuous residency in the UK for at least 5 years

Desirable

• As a Deployed Hardware Engineer at Arondite you will be collaborating closely with our other engineers and with end-users to integrate and deploy Arondite’s software products in the real world. You will be working with edge compute and communications devices (such as mesh radios and satellite links), as well with uncrewed systems and sensors
• You will be responsible for conducting and/or supporting field testing, both at Arondite’s test site and with customers across the UK and abroad. This will include piloting drones, ground robots and potentially various watercraft
• When in the office you may be asked to create 3D models to mock up full systems, or to create mechanical or electrical CAD parts to help integrate various pieces of hardware and electronics
• As someone who will sometimes interact with customers , you may also be asked to give demos of our software, and to better understand users' needs and requirements in the process
• Overall, the role will be varied and challenging, suiting someone who is flexible and pragmatic with broad hardware experience and an interest in working in the real world at the intersection of mechanics, electronics and software
• Deploying Arondite’s software and AI products to hardware
• Integrating and debugging end-to-end systems that include third party equipment and devices
• Creating mechanical and electrical components as required to support the above
• Modifying and configuring embedded software in languages such as C and Python
• Piloting and oversight of all types of robotic and autonomous systems (including UAVs, UGVs and USVs). This will include gaining qualifications such as Remote Pilot Certificates
• Ownership of suitable procedures for ensuring safe operation of robotic and autonomous systems
• Conducting field testing of Arondite’s products both during development and with customers
• Demonstrating Arondite’s systems to end-users and potential customers

• Generally, our interview process is comprised of the following stages:
• CV submission with initial questions
• Introductory Teams call (30-45 mins)
• In-person technical interview (1-2 hours)
• Final interview with one of Arondite’s Founders (30 mins)
