Life at Axon is fast-paced, challenging and meaningful. Here, you'll take ownership and drive real change. Constantly grow as you work hard for a mission that matters at a company where you matter.
You will contribute to Axon's product line as part of the Axon Robotics team (formerly Sky-Hero). We are building career-defining, next-generation drones and robots in pursuit of our Moonshot: to cut gun-related deaths between police and the public by 50% over the next 10 years. As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you will advance Axon's mission to Protect Life by designing and prototyping the electronic boards and systems at the heart of mission-critical robots such as UAVs and UGVs.
This is a senior, hands-on design role within a fast-moving R&D team. You will work on densely populated, tightly packaged, battery-powered systems where size, weight and power constraints make every design decision consequential. Using EDA tools including Altium Designer and Cadence OrCAD/Allegro, you will solve demanding problems across the full breadth of electronics engineering — from analog to digital — and you will design, assemble and debug boards and prototypes as an active contributor to our R&D process.
Location: Brussels, Belgium
This role is based out of our Brussels office (West Brussels, Rue d'Enghien). Because we are rapidly prototyping confidential hardware, this team works on-site, with some flexibility unless there is an approved workplace accommodation.
