About the Role
We are seeking an Avionics Hardware Engineer to own flight-critical electronics across design, bring-up, testing, and integration.
The engineer may take ownership of areas such as motor controllers, avionics backplanes, power distribution, or outward-facing avionics test and integration.
What We're Looking For
We're looking for an engineer who can take ownership of flight-critical hardware, troubleshoot issues hands-on, and move designs efficiently from concept through testing and production.
Key Responsibilities
-
Own avionics hardware from architecture and schematic design through PCB layout, bring-up, and production support.
-
Drive component selection, interface definition, and system-level tradeoffs.
-
Lead hardware bring-up, debugging, and root-cause analysis across laboratory, integration, and flight-test environments.
-
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure hardware meets performance, reliability, and mission requirements.
-
Define and execute hardware validation strategies appropriate to development and flight maturity.
-
Prepare technical documentation covering designs, test results, and engineering changes.
-
Partner with manufacturing teams and suppliers to transition hardware from prototype to production.
-
Continuously improve designs based on test results, field data, and evolving requirements.
Required Qualifications
-
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
-
Proven end-to-end ownership of avionics or high-reliability electronic hardware.
-
Strong PCB design experience.
-
Hands-on hardware bring-up and laboratory debugging experience.
-
Ability to work autonomously and drive hardware issues to closure.
Preferred Qualifications
-
Experience in avionics, aerospace, missile, space, automotive, or defense hardware.
-
Experience with motor controllers, backplanes, power electronics, or flight hardware.
-
Familiarity with MIL-STD or aerospace hardware standards, including DO-254 exposure.
-
Embedded systems or FPGA-adjacent hardware experience.
-
Experience supporting hardware through integration, testing, or flight environments.
