About The Borderlands Group
The Borderlands Group is a defence advisory and engineering company. We partner with international defense technology companies to help them build, deploy, test, and scale their products in real operational environments.
Our work connects international defence innovators with Ukraine’s engineering talent, operational expertise, and real-world product feedback. Depending on the project, we support our partners with engineering, field operations, technical recruitment, product testing, and building local capabilities in Ukraine.
One of our international defence-tech clients — an early-stage European company developing autonomous technology for airspace security — is looking for an Electronics Engineer to own the electronic design and schematics of its sensor and interceptor systems end-to-end, from PCB architecture through to production-ready hardware.
The team is small and high-output, with strong engineering and business backgrounds, united by a mission to make modern airspace safer.
- Own electronic design and schematics for new and existing PCB versions across the product line
- Lead PCB routing for prototyping and iterate quickly based on test results
- Design for EMC compliance and for manufacturability (DFM) from the earliest design stages
- Work to IPC Class 3 standards for high-reliability defense hardware
- Design analogue circuitry and low-noise data acquisition (DAQ) systems for acoustic and sensor applications
- Collaborate closely with mechanical, firmware, and ML engineers to integrate electronics into full systems
- Strong background in electronic design, PCB layout, and schematics (IoT, embedded systems, low-power electronics, or gadget hardware)
- Experience with EMC design and design-for-manufacturing principles
- Familiarity with IPC Class 3 standards or similarly rigorous quality requirements
- Hands-on experience with analogue systems and low-noise DAQ design
- Comfortable working across the full hardware lifecycle, from prototype to production
- Conversational English
- Experience with AI-on-edge hardware or embedded ML acceleration
- Prior work in defense, aerospace, or other high-reliability hardware industries
