Focus:

  • Guide internal teams through systems integration and feasibility planning across cross-functional disciplines.
  • Lead technical discussions with external stakeholders, representing engineering scope and technical milestones.
  • Support system integration testing—both in-lab and in-aircraft—ensuring functionality meets specifications.
  • Develop, review, and validate wiring schematics and interface diagrams for new and modified architectures.
  • Author detailed design documentation, including block diagrams and technical data packages.
  • Evaluate system certification impact, focusing on human factors, compliance, and airworthiness requirements.
  • Collaborate on software/hardware development cycles for both new and legacy aerospace systems.
  • Recommend design improvements and streamline engineering processes based on real-world system feedback.
  • Understand and apply communication protocols like ARINC429, RS232, and RS422 across digital avionics platforms.
  • Provide installation and integration expertise across multiple aircraft types, including fixed and rotary-wing.

Skill Set:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Aerospace, Electrical, or related field).
  • 3+ years of experience in avionics systems development, integration, or testing.
  • Demonstrated expertise in aircraft electrical systems, embedded avionics, or flight deck technologies.
  • Hands-on experience with systems-level documentation, architecture definition, and certification pathways.
  • Familiarity with military and commercial aviation environments (e.g., Part 23, 25, 27, or 29 platforms).
  • Comfortable leading technical discussions and collaborating with cross-functional teams.
  • Willingness to travel domestically and internationally (minimum two-week trips).
  • U.S. work authorization required; must be eligible for access to export-controlled information.
