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.
