Full description
We are hiring experienced Avionics Hardware Engineers to specialize in high-speed digital design, flight computer architecture, and advanced avionics hardware development across our avionics organization. This role is ideal for engineers with deep EE fundamentals and hands-on ownership experience designing complex embedded hardware for mission-critical systems. Engineers in this role focus on flight computer architecture, high-speed digital board design, system bring-up, and hardware validation across real flight hardware. The ideal candidate has experience owning complex board designs from architecture through integration and thrives in fast-paced hardware development environments.
Responsibilities:
• Design and develop advanced board-level electrical hardware including schematic capture, PCB layout oversight, component selection, and interface definition
• Own high-speed digital and embedded flight computer architectures including processors, memory systems, and board-level integration
• Perform board bring-up, validation, debugging, and root-cause analysis in the lab
• Test reference boards and early prototypes using standard lab equipment
• Drive signal integrity, power integrity, and hardware reliability considerations throughout the design lifecycle
• Work with avionics, embedded software, test, and manufacturing teams to iterate designs quickly
• Support hardware/software integration and troubleshooting across avionics platforms
• Document designs, test results, and engineering changes clearly
Basic Qualifications:
• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or related field
• Strong experience with complex digital or mixed-signal hardware design
• Experience with high-speed digital systems, embedded processors, memory interfaces, and board-level architecture
• Experience with PCB design tools (Altium preferred)
• Hands-on experience with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and power supplies
• Strong understanding of core EE principles including digital systems, signal integrity, power distribution, and hardware debugging
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment
Preferred Qualifications:
• Experience owning flight computer, avionics, or embedded compute hardware architectures
• Experience taking complex PCBAs from concept through bring-up, validation, and integration
• Exposure to embedded systems, firmware, or FPGA interaction
• Familiarity with aerospace, automotive, robotics, defense, or other high-reliability hardware environments
• Familiarity with interfaces such as Ethernet, SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, PCIe, or DDR memory systems
• Basic scripting or programming experience (Python, C/C++
