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. Conducted modelling, simulation, hardware-software-in-the-loop (HIL/SIL) testing, certification; reduced rework ~30%. Developed an avionics simulation and integration labs - Digital Twin for IV&V. Developed avionics simulations using MATLAB, Stateflow & C++. Developed Avionics Virtual Test Bed for early verification. Led FAT/SAT for avionics systems. Designed and developed aircraft cockpit

Worked on FPGA–based embedded systems using Verilog and supported PCB design and fabrication.
