Aamir Mairaj

Providing independent research and consulting in systems engineering and platform integration Developed and refined Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) architecture proposals accepted by Khalifa University and UK universities (2024–2025); authored an end-to-end indigenous UAV/UAS platform development proposal covering systems architecture and integration strategy. Engaged with potential clients in UAV-based agricultural services and avionics design sectors

• Conducted research on Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) optimization applied to electric aircraft platform • Contributed to research activities focused on avionics architecture optimization, systems integration, and electric aircraft platform development

• Industry interface for applied aerospace capstone projects with UAE aerospace stakeholders (e.g., GCAA; engagements via GITEX, Global Aerospace Summit); won Best Innovation Research Award

• Owned requirements management, installation, and site acceptance testing of a technical training simulator • Coordinated with OEMs through design, integration, and site acceptance, ensuring the system met all training performance requirements; oversaw year-round training on electronic and communication systems

• Led multidisciplinary technical teams through full V-model lifecycle delivery, ensuring readiness of a key communications network segment, achieving >97% availability • Developed power rectifiers (breadboard → PCB → validation) and implemented a layered safety power architecture for redundancy and fail-safe operation

• Led avionics R&D including integration and certification efforts for complex avionics systems • Maintained aircraft-level configuration baselines and lifecycle traceability across avionics projects • Performed capability assessments and gap analyses to guide R&D priorities, reducing development timelines by ~20% • Applied aerospace certification standards and safety-critical engineering practices across avionics projects • Coordinated engineering teams and collaborated with international OEM partners

Delivered major avionics projects, avionics architectures, MBSE, SysML, IBM DOORS, ICDs, design reviews, SAE ARP4754, SAE ARP4761 (FHA, FTA, FMEA) Conducted modelling, simulation, hardware-software-in-the-loop (HIL/SIL) testing, certification; reduced rework ~30%.
