Electrical Avionics Engineer – Key Role Overview
We are seeking an Electrical Avionics Engineer to design, build, test, and fly advanced avionics hardware. This role focuses on developing high-performance, low-cost, low-mass flight systems—including flight computers, cameras, power systems, sensors, and RF units—in a fast-paced, hands-on engineering environment.
Preferred Skills & Experience
- Proficiency in Altium Designer for schematic capture and PCB layout.
- Experience designing space-environment electronics (LEO/GEO/deep space): radiation, thermal, vibration, fault tolerance.
- Ability to define spacecraft avionics architectures and develop system budgets.
- Hands-on experience with radiation testing.
- Familiarity with embedded software and firmware integration.
- Deep expertise in at least one domain:
- High-speed digital: FPGAs, processors, memory, high-speed buses
- Power electronics: converters, load switches
- RF electronics: mixers, oscillators, PAs
- Mixed-signal electronics: ADC/DACs, sensors, analog front-ends
- Skill with circuit simulation tools such as LTSpice.
- Experience designing fault-tolerant avionics for mission-critical operation.
- Design and develop avionics units in one or more of the following areas:
- Flight computers, data handling, and payload interfaces
- Power converters and power distribution
- Attitude-determination sensors and imaging systems
- Radio communication systems
- High-power microwave amplifiers
- Perform PCB schematic capture and layout, and lead technical reviews of electronics designs.
- -Develop and execute test plans for space-qualification (Thermal, vibration, thermal, radiation, EMC/EMI). Mil-Std 883E or 1540 OR Nasa STD-7002
-
Prior work on DoD or U.S. Government programs a plus. DOD Secret a plus
Education & Experience
-
BS in Electrical Engineering (or related field).
-
5–8 years relevant engineering experience.
