About BRINC

At BRINC, we are building the technology that will define the future of emergency response. As a vertically integrated U.S. drone technology company, BRINC designs and manufactures unmanned aircraft systems, autonomous drone stations, command-and-control software, and advanced autonomy for public safety. Today, BRINC deploys Drone as First Responder (DFR) networks that dispatch drones directly to 911 calls, providing real-time aerial intelligence before ground units arrive and helping first responders make faster, safer decisions. BRINC serves more than 1,000 public safety customers across all 50 states, is the sole drone supplier to Motorola Solutions, and has raised more than $280 million from leading strategic and technology investors, including Motorola Solutions, Index Ventures, Sam Altman, Dylan Field, and others. BRINC is recruiting exceptional engineers to build the next generation of autonomous emergency-response technology, including flight-critical firmware and advanced pilot-assistance capabilities.

About this Role

We are seeking talented and experienced Senior-Principal level Electrical Engineers that can lead the conceptualization, design, and testing of BRINC’s drone systems. In this role, you will be responsible for circuit design, power distribution, sensor integration, and PCB development, ensuring our products meet high performance and reliability standards. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate electrical systems with mechanical, software, and autonomy components, playing a key role in bringing innovative technology to market.

This role demands specialized expertise in electrical engineering, but at BRINC, our Senior Engineers are also versatile problem-solvers. You’ll take ownership of our toughest technical challenges, and thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where adaptability is critical.

Key Responsibilities

Own hardware development from start to finish - from specification to design, prototype, testing and manufacturing.

Work collaboratively with software, mechanical, perception, controls, and manufacturing engineers.

Design both flight hardware and test setups to validate designs.

Establish top-level design architectures and implementation methodologies for the team. Clearly communicate design decisions with internal stakeholders.

Perform and document design analysis and testing results; make data-driven decisions to land key product features.

Work closely with product partners to ensure the final product meets design intent and customer needs.

Provide technical guidance and mentorship to the broader electrical engineering team.
