We are seeking experienced Avionics Hardware Engineers at the Senior and Staff levels to work on high-speed digital design, flight computer architecture, and advanced avionics hardware.

This role is focused on complex embedded hardware for mission-critical systems, with ownership spanning architecture, board design, bring-up, validation, and integration.

We’re looking for experienced hardware engineers who can take ownership of complex avionics hardware, solve challenging hardware problems in the lab, and work closely with multidisciplinary teams from architecture through integration.

• → Design and develop advanced board-level electrical hardware, including:
  • → Schematic capture
  • → PCB layout oversight
  • → Component selection
  • → Interface definition
• → Own high-speed digital and embedded flight computer architectures involving processors, memory systems, and board-level integration.
• → Perform board bring-up, validation, debugging, and root-cause analysis in the lab.
• → Test reference boards and early prototypes using standard laboratory equipment.
• → Drive signal integrity, power integrity, and hardware reliability throughout the design lifecycle.
• → Collaborate with avionics, embedded software, test, and manufacturing teams.
• → Support hardware/software integration and troubleshooting across avionics platforms.
• → Document designs, test results, and engineering changes.
