Embedded Hardware Engineer
Horizon Aircraft
Date: 3 days ago
City: Lindsay, ON
Contract type: Full time

A career at Horizon is for those who want to do something extraordinary, yet with meaningful purpose. We take pride in pushing the boundaries of technology and customer experience to deliver something that has never been done before. We are a fast-moving organization that promotes a hands-on approach, supporting each other through the tough spots, generating a close-knit team with a family feel.
What we do here is hard, but then very few things worth achieving are easy. By joining Horizon, you will have the opportunity to work with our world-class entrepreneurial team who are passionate about delivering something special.
What we need you to bring.
Horizon is seeking an open, enthusiastic, and experienced Embedded Hardware Electronics Engineer. Your role will focus on the design, development, and integration of embedded electronic systems that are critical to our eVTOL aircraft platform. As electronics form the backbone of flight safety, propulsion, and control, you will work closely with a wide range of disciplines — from avionics and flight controls to propulsion and systems engineering — balancing complex and often competing requirements to deliver robust and certifiable hardware solutions.
As we’re a small team, there is significant scope for you to advance your career and learn about adjacent disciplines.
Your Day- To-Day
About Your Future Team.
As part of the team, you will tackle challenges and deliver something that has never been done before. The team is currently full of multi-skilled individuals who are some of the first Engineers to have joined Horizon. You will join a small team of specialists, which provides significant latitude in developing our working methods alongside needs of developing the platform.
Our Benefits.
People are the heart of our success, and we like to provide transparency in the way we operate. This is why our benefits are beyond the normal for Ontario, and we are constantly trying to improve these further.
If you have a passion for aerospace and eVTOL, and want to work on challenging and rewarding projects, please apply today!
Location.
We are located just outside of Lindsay, in the Kawartha Lakes area of Ontario, Canada. Our team is onsite at our facility, as a group, a minimum of two days per week. We expect the same from you, and we are mindful of what a realistic commute would be to keep you safe and at your best. We offer relocation allowances in appropriate cases.
We have a growing team in the Ottawa area, who are onsite in Lindsay less often. If you are in the region, please do apply and we can discuss options with you.
