Your Tasks

• Collaborate closely with system engineering to define and refine avionics hardware requirements.
• Drive technical discussions with software, mechanical, and production teams to ensure seamless system integrations
• Own the full hardware development lifecycle: component selection, schematic capture, PCB layout, bring-up, test, and verification.
• Design and develop mixed-signal electronics for ground test and flight hardware including: Engine Control Units, Power Distribution Systems, Data acquisition units, etc.
• Validate designs in the lab through bring-up, debug, integration, and supporting qualification testing.
• Perform analyses (worst-case, derating, signal integrity) to ensure reliability in extreme environments.
• Contribute to system integration efforts, ensuring seamless hardware-software and inter-component interaction.
• Take technical and operational ownership of your avionics product from concept to flight.

Your Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a similar discipline.
