In this role, you will perform full-suite retrofits, line installations, wiring harness fabrication, and system integrations on general aviation and corporate airframes.
Whether you bring deep expertise on the G1000/G1000NXi platform or advanced corporate jet integration experience on the G5000, we invite you to bring your craftsmanship and technical expertise to our expanding avionics team.
Key Responsibilities
• Garmin Suite Installation: Install, mount, wire, and integrate Garmin G1000 and/or G5000 integrated flight deck suites, standard Garmin navigators (GTN series), and associated remote LRUs.
• Harness Fabrication & Wiring: Build, route, terminate, and test complex electrical wiring harnesses, including high-speed data buses, coax lines, shield terminations, and multi-pin connectors in compliance with FAA standards.
• Panel & Console Modifications: Modify cockpit instrument panels, subpanels, and console structural elements to accommodate new displays, circuit breakers, switches, and remote units.
• System Integration & Testing: Perform comprehensive post-installation functional testing, ground checks, pitot-static and RVSM leak checks, ramp testing, and software/database configurations.
• Troubleshooting: Diagnose and resolve squawks, auto-flight interface anomalies, and electrical power distribution faults across new installations and legacy airframe systems.
• Legacy Interfacing: Support integration of Garmin equipment with existing legacy aircraft systems, including Rockwell Collins Pro Line platforms where applicable.
• Documentation & Compliance: Ensure all maintenance, modification records, and return-to-service sign-offs comply strictly with FAA regulations, customer specifications, and repair station quality manuals.
Required Qualifications & Experience
• Experience Level: Minimum of 3–5 years of avionics installation experience on general aviation and/or corporate/business jet aircraft.
• Garmin Expertise: Demonstrated hands-on installation and checkout experience with Garmin G1000 / G1000NXi and/or Garmin G5000 flight decks (GTN 650/750 series experience also valued).
• Technical Literacy: Advanced ability to read, interpret, and work directly from electrical schematics, engineering wire prints, Garmin installation manuals, and STC installation drawings.
• Wiring Craftsmanship: Proven expertise in precision crimping, pin insertion/extraction, wire stripping, shield splicing, harness looming, and routing techniques.
• Legacy Avionics Knowledge: Prior experience integrating with Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 or Pro Line Fusion systems is a strong plus.
• Tools: Must provide own complete set of standard aviation hand tools and specialized avionics tooling (wire strippers, calibrated crimpers, pin extractors, digital multimeters).
