About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Develop, lead, and own digital, analog, and mixed-signal circuit avionic designs that interact with avionics systems (including sensors and electromechanical/electrohydraulic actuators).
Own these avionics designs, and the rugged electronic hardware assemblies across the entire product life cycle, from concept and requirements definition, design, analysis, prototyping, schematic capture, layout, design review, test/verification (power-on, functional / acceptance / qualification testing) and through release to production.
Support avionics controller architecture trade studies, analyses, performance characterization and specification, device selection, and controller roadmap direction.
Support controller risk analyses, failure modes effects and criticality analyses (FMECA), design for test/manufacture/cost (DFx), and root-cause analysis of test discrepancies.
Participate in program level technology development, mission assurance and safety initiatives, and avionics development process improvements.
Effectively communicate development status, risks, and challenges to management.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Bachelor of Science in Electrical or Computer Engineering, or related disciplines
A breadth of understanding in electronics hardware development such as developing complex circuit cards, consumer electronics, wireless devices, or other advanced electronic commercial or aerospace products
Experience with analog, digital or mixed-signal circuit design, including analysis, simulation, test, troubleshooting, and part selection
Knowledge of signal integrity, power, grounding, and general board layout principles
Familiar with many of the following parts and their usage: microcontrollers, processors, FPGAs, ADCs, DACs, OpAmps, power supplies (linear, LDO, DC/DC), volatile memory (DDR), non-volatile memory (NAND, NOR, etc.), and MOSFETs
Knowledge of common communication methods, such as RS232, RS422, I2C, SPI, LVDS, Ethernet, CAN, or PCIe
Knowledge of radiation effects on electronics and how to apply this to designs targeting space applications
Desire to work hands-on, both independently and as part of a team, throughout the development and production phases of the electronic assembly product lifecycle
Ability to earn trust, maintain positive and professional relationships, and supply to a culture of collaboration
Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.
