About Precision AI
Precision AI is on a mission to transform agriculture with cutting-edge drone technology. Our aerial spraying systems help farmers target weeds with surgical precision, reducing chemical use and increasing yields. We’re a fast-moving, impact-driven team looking for people who want to help build the future of farming.
Role Overview
The ideal Electrical Engineer at Precision AI is someone who thrives at the intersection of rugged hardware and real-world deployment. You’ll work in a multidisciplinary environment alongside mechanical, embedded, GNC (Guidance, Navigation, and Control), and software engineers, designing and integrating electrical systems that enable reliable UAV operations from concept through flight testing.
If you enjoy turning complicated system requirements into clean, dependable electrical implementations - pinouts, wiring diagrams, harnesses, power distribution, and integration - this role will feel like home. You bring strong electrical fundamentals, hands-on debugging instincts, and the attention to detail required for safety-critical, vibration-heavy platforms.
You’ll spend your days designing and documenting electrical interfaces and harnessing that connect sensors, computers, actuators, and power systems. Some days you’ll be in the lab with a multimeter and scope validating interfaces; other days you’ll be in the field troubleshooting issues and hardening designs for agricultural environments.
At Precision AI, we move fast and build things that matter. If you take pride in clean wiring, reliable interfaces, and practical engineering that survives the real world, we’d love to meet you.
This role is hybrid in Calgary due to the hands-on nature of hardware integration, lab testing, and UAV flight verification and validation.
Key Responsibilities
Electrical Architecture, Pinouts & Harnessing
- Define and document electrical interfaces including connector pinouts, signal definitions, and wiring standards.
- Design and build wire harnesses for vibration-heavy UAV environments (strain relief, routing, shielding, sealing).
- Own power distribution concepts including fusing, grounding, connectors, and serviceable architecture.
- Create and maintain electrical schematics / wiring diagrams and harness drawings.
- Design (schematic and layout) boards, including components selection and BOM.
Integration, Bring-Up & Debugging
- Support board and subsystem bring-up in partnership with Embedded engineers (interfaces, power rails, comms).
- Debug electrical issues using lab tools (multimeter, oscilloscope, logic analyzer) and structured test methods.
- Validate sensor and actuator integration (IMUs, GPS, radar/LiDAR, pumps, valves, servos) and resolve interface issues.
- Harden designs for field conditions: EMI/EMC considerations, vibration, moisture, dust, and chemical exposure.
- Drive electrical troubleshooting during field tests and implement corrective actions quickly.
Documentation, Quality & Production Support
- Establish and maintain harness build / test procedures, labeling standards, and continuity / insulation test workflows.
- Support vendor / contract manufacturer builds with clear documentation, revisions, and feedback loops.
- Maintain configuration control for electrical documentation, BOMs, and revisions across builds.
- Contribute to reliability improvements through root-cause analysis and design updates.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Work closely with Mechanical Engineers on routing, mounting, connector access, and serviceability.
- Collaborate with Controls / GNC and Software teams to ensure electrical interfaces support performance and data integrity.
Relevant Experience
- 5+ years of electrical engineering experience in embedded, robotics, UAV, automotive, aerospace, or industrial systems.
- Hands-on experience producing and managing connector pinouts, wiring diagrams, and wire harnesses.
- Experience supporting hardware integration and debugging across sensors, compute, and actuators.
- Comfort working in lab and field environments, including rapid iteration during testing.
- Strong documentation habits and experience with configuration control / revisions.
What You Bring
- Ownership mentality and attention to detail: you build electrical systems that are clean, reliable, and serviceable.
- Hands-on mindset: eager to diagnose issues and solve problems at the bench and in the field.
- Pragmatic engineering judgment—focused on what will work in production and real-world environments.
- Strong communication skills for cross-functional collaboration.
- Willingness to travel 5–10% for field deployments and integration tests
Bonus
- Experience designing harnesses for high-vibration vehicles (ag equipment, automotive, UAVs, aerospace).
- Experience with EMI/EMC mitigation practices for mixed-signal systems.
- Experience with electronics prototyping (soldering, rework) and lab bring-up workflows.
- Experience with wiring harness tools (RapidHarness) for reading/creating harness drawings.
- Familiarity with ECAD tools (Altium, Eagle, KiCad) for reading/creating schematics.
- Background in safety-critical or reliability-focused systems.
- Competition or Open Source Team Experience
Not Sure You Meet Every Requirement?
Research shows that some candidates, especially women, underrepresented groups, and career changers, are less likely to apply for a role unless they meet 100% of the listed qualifications. At Precision AI, we believe the right person can grow into the role, and we value potential as much as experience. If you’re excited about our mission and think you could contribute, we encourage you to apply, even if you don’t check every single box.
Equal Employment Opportunity
All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, protected veteran status, disability, or any other status protected by law.
