At UST Italia, we’re seeking an experienced Electronics & Embedded Engineer to join our development team working on NIDO, our proprietary Drone-in-a-Box system designed for fully automated aerial missions.
The NIDO platform combines advanced UAVs and robotic docking stations for remote operation, autonomous deployment, and smart payload integration — with market launch imminent.
If you have a passion for embedded systems, robotics, and drones, this role offers the opportunity to work on a tangible product with significant growth potential.
As an Electronics & Embedded Engineer, your responsibilities include:
1. Designing and testing PCBs for embedded and power systems
2. Programming microcontrollers (e.g., ESP32) for real-time control and telemetry
3. Integrating sensors, cameras, communication, and safety modules
4. Managing BOM optimization, sourcing, and PCB outsourcing
5. Collaborating with mechanical, software, and avionics teams
6. Supporting transition to pre-series and industrial production
You will work directly on our UAV and robotic ground station, engaging in hands-on prototyping, rapid iteration, and influencing both design and product direction.
Qualifications include:
1. Solid experience in electronics design and debugging
2. Proficiency in embedded programming (C/C++ preferred, ESP32 highly valued)
3. Knowledge of communication protocols: UART, I²C, SPI, CAN
4. Familiarity with PCB design tools (KiCad / Altium) and test instrumentation
5. Experience managing external suppliers and component sourcing
6. Fluency in Italian and good English for documentation and teamwork
7. Desire to work on a real, innovative, and industrially promising product
8. Interest in contributing to a fast-growing company with leadership opportunities
9. Ability to balance hands-on prototyping with long-term architecture in a dynamic, tech-focused environment
