Mechatronics Engineer

The Wright Brothers gave humanity flight, Alteon exists to give humanity (almost) perpetual flight. Our mission is to build the world’s highest endurance aircrafts – ones that can fly for up to ~417 days at a time.

We are a small, young team driven by pushing the limits of what’s possible – we don’t like settling for good enough. We are here to build the best technology possible, the best airplane possible, to do the best engineering possible. Limited only by the laws of physics.

As a Mechatronics engineer, you'll own the electronics-hardware problems across our aircraft and the subsystems around it like sensors, instrumentation, onboard systems, ground equipment. Whether the problem lives on the aircraft or in the projects that support our flight testing such as data collection systems, test rigs etc. you take it from an idea to something proven in the field.

Interface sensors and peripherals with microcontrollers.

Design the mechanical side of your integrations in CAD - mounts, enclosures, wiring routes - and take them from a sketch to a part on the aircraft and other platforms.

Support flight test with instrumentation,bench rigs and ground support electronics.

Debug electro-mechanical problems on real aircraft - noisy sensor data, intermittent connectors, EMI, power issues. The problems change every week.
