Avionics Engineer – Flight Electronics & Systems
An independent aerospace electronics studio pioneering resilient, lightweight, and eco-efficient avionics for civil, defense, and commercial operators worldwide. The team blends veteran certification engineers with fresh, inventive minds to accelerate cleaner skies.
Responsibilities
- Architect end-to-end avionics system designs (power-up to shutdown) while meeting DO-254 and DO-178C objectives.
- Model requirements in DOORS and SysML, translating stakeholder intent into verifiable specifications.
- Develop MATLAB/Simulink simulations that predict performance under extreme flight envelopes.
- Create robust interface control documents for ARINC 429, MIL-STD-1553, CAN-Aerospace, and Ethernet-based buses.
- Plan and execute hardware-in-the-loop and software-in-the-loop verification campaigns.
- Drive Failure Hazard Analyses, FMEA, and quantitative safety assessments to substantiate DAL-A/B claims.
- Build custom test rigs with LabVIEW and embedded scripting—then automate regression suites for continuous certification artifacts.
- Liaise with certification authorities, preparing compliance data, trace matrices, and conformity inspection packages.
- Diagnose flight-line anomalies swiftly, leading cross-functional tiger teams to root cause and corrective action.
- Mentor junior engineers; instill systems-thinking discipline across electrical, mechanical, and software cohorts.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s or higher in Electrical, Electronics, Aerospace, or Systems Engineering.
- 5+ years designing safety-critical avionics; portfolio includes RTCA DO-254 Level A/B hardware and DO-178C Level A/B software projects.
- Mastery of requirements tools (DOORS Next), MBSE/SysML environments, and version-controlled development workflows.
- Proficiency with Simulink, LabVIEW, and bus analyzers for ARINC 429 & MIL-STD-1553 traffic.
- Solid grounding in EMC/EMI mitigation, power integrity, and PCB layout for aerospace constraints.
- Demonstrated success performing FHA, FTA, and common-cause analyses to SAE ARP4761 methodology.
- Adept at C/C++ or VHDL for embedded targets; Python for test automation is a plus.
- Eligibility to handle ITAR/EAR data; US citizenship or permanent residency frequently required in defense programs.
- Clear, persuasive communicator—able to translate technical nuance into executive-level decisions.
What Awaits You
- Participation in next-generation eVTOL, UAV, and deep-space missions.
- Influence over the full product life-cycle—from whiteboard sketch to first flight and beyond.
- Culture that prizes continuous learning, cross-disciplinary curiosity, and work-life flexibility.
