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.
