Hardware Engineer

• 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.

Avionics Hardware Engineer II

• Identify and drive Critical Item and Technology (CIT) action plans to closure throughout hardware development to increase product and process maturity during the development phase on a program
• Lead implementation of NPI requirements, including Design‑to‑Cost, Design for Excellence/Producibility, prototyping, and supplier technical risk mitigation on a program
• Develop and document the Producibility and Prototyping strategy within the Hardware Development Plan on a program
• Ensure timely and effective execution of Producibility, Prototyping, and Supplier Technical Support activities starting in development and into early production on a program
• Support or facilitate Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) workshops to identify Cost Reduction Opportunities (CROs) and drive execution of Cost Reduction Initiatives (CRIs) on a program
• Baseline and monitor risks and opportunities related to predictive manufacturing yield, cost, and throughput for Critical Items and Technologies using Valor DFM, PCAT Pro, DFMPro, Siemens VSA, CETOL, and other hardware optimization tools on a program
• Drive identification of Critical and Key Characteristics and implement/manage production Control Plans to manage technical risks to production on a program
• Ensure robust supplier capability assessments, supplier selection, technical requirements understanding, and production readiness on a program to meet cost, quality, and schedule needs
• Deliver proactive supplier support by conducting onsite visits, driving clear communication between stakeholders and suppliers, resolving supplier requests and manufacturing defects, and reviewing supplier data and lessons learned to advance continuous improvement in manufacturing, assembly, test, and inspection
• Serve as a liaison between CPR Section Leaders, Program CEs, IPTLs, Producibility Engineers, and cross‑functional teams to maintain consistent communication, alignment, and program execution
• Collaborate with the CE, IPTLs, and REAs to prepare for NPI assessments and manage associated actions on a program
• Compile producibility artifacts, generate memos, and present producibility analysis to the customer when contractually required
