What you'll do:
- Lead end-to-end integration of avionics systems across aircraft and launch/recovery platforms
- Define avionics architecture, harnessing, and system integration documentation for avionics systems
- Own integration of COTS and custom hardware onto the platform - including compute, radios, sensors, actuators, and power systems
- Drive system-level debugging and root cause analysis across electrical, mechanical, and software domains
- Develop integration plans, verification strategies, and qualification test approaches to relevant standards and requirements
- Oversee harness architecture and electrical interface control documentation (ICDs)
- Lead hardware bring-up, HIL and flight test integration, and production transition
- Mentor junior engineers and raise overall technical standards within the team
- Proactively identify design risks and drive mitigation early in development
Required qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Aerospace, Mechanical, Systems Engineering or equivalent technical degree
- 6+ years of industry experience in avionics or complex embedded system integration
- Proven experience integrating flight-critical or mission-critical hardware systems
- Deep understanding of power distribution, signal integrity, grounding, EMI/EMC considerations
- Experience with hardware/software integration and cross-functional technical leadership
- Demonstrated ownership of systems from concept through production
- Strong troubleshooting skills across electrical and embedded domains
- Ability to operate effectively in fast-paced development environments with flight schedules
