Senior/Staff Electrical Engineer, Avionics

Responsibilities: Own avionics electrical subsystems from concept through design, validation, release, production ramp, and field support Design and develop PCBA for aircraft and ground-support hardware (digital, analog, sensing, power, communications, control) Create and review schematics, select components, define interfaces, guide PCB layout, ensure compliance with electrical, mechanical, thermal, manufacturing, and operational requirements Bring up new boards, write/execute validation plans, analyze data, drive design changes based on results Lead root-cause investigations for electrical issues across bring-up, qualification, manufacturing, flight test, or field operation Own corrective-action plans for fleet or production issues including containment, design revision, release, and verification Partner with firmware and software teams on hardware-software interfaces, sensor integration, diagnostics, and test hooks Work with mechanical engineering on packaging, connectorization, cable routing, weight, thermal constraints, and serviceability Collaborate with manufacturing, test, quality, and supply-chain to improve yield, reduce downtime, and support supplier readiness Define requirements, test procedures, design documentation, release packages, and change-control records for avionics hardware Support design reviews, failure reviews, and technical tradeoff decisions across reliability, performance, cost, weight, power, schedule, and manufacturability Mentor other engineers to raise the quality of electrical design, validation, debugging, and release practices

Key requirements: 5+ years designing and releasing electrical hardware for products with real-world use Strong fundamentals across analog, digital, mixed-signal, power, sensing, and communication circuits Experience designing PCBAs: schematic capture, component selection, reviews, layout guidance, bring-up, verification Ability to debug complex electrical issues using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power supplies, labs Experience writing/executing test plans for design validation, qualification, production test, or reliability investigations Strong root-cause analysis skills and ability to derive concrete corrective actions Knowledge of PCB layout tradeoffs, signal/power integrity, grounding, EMI/EMC, thermal behavior, manufacturability Ability to collaborate across electrical, mechanical, firmware, software, manufacturing, operations, quality, and supply-chain teams Strong ownership: drive design or issue from concept to released solution Clear communication and documentation, especially when safety/reliability/production/fleet impact is involved Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field or equivalent experience collaboration across cross-functional teams strong ownership and accountability clear communication and meticulous documentation PCB design of PCBA for avionics Schematic capture and component selection Design reviews and layout guidance
