Electrical Engineers- Want to Design the Electronics Behind the Future of Flight?

At Universal Avionics, our engineers build advanced avionics systems that improve flight safety, situational awareness, and operational efficiency for aircraft around the world.

This is more than a circuit design role. This is an opportunity to work on highly reliable, safety-critical avionics systems where your engineering decisions directly impact real-world flight operations.

Most engineers never get to see their work operate in mission-critical environments at 40,000 feet. Here, you will.

We are seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer to join our Hardware Engineering team and contribute to the full lifecycle development of advanced avionics hardware systems. This role offers the opportunity to work on complex electronic designs in a highly collaborative aerospace engineering environment.

What You'll Do:

As an Electrical Engineer III, you will support the design, development, integration, and verification of avionics hardware systems and circuit card assemblies.

Key responsibilities include:

• Designing and developing electronic circuitry and avionics hardware solutions.
• Supporting conceptual designs, trade studies, and product feasibility assessments.
• Developing schematics, board-level documentation, test procedures, and power estimates.
• Supporting high-reliability designs with strong focus on design-for-test and safety-critical requirements.
• Leading and participating in circuit card design reviews.
• Collaborating closely with PCB Designers on multilayer board layouts.
• Supporting integration, debugging, qualification, verification, and sustaining engineering activities.
• Working within multidisciplinary engineering teams across the product lifecycle.

Why Engineers Love Working Here:

• Mission-Critical Engineering.
• Design electronic systems used in real aircraft environments where performance, reliability, and precision matter.
• Complex Technical Challenges.
• Work across the full hardware development lifecycle- from conceptual design and trade studies through integration, qualification, verification, and sustaining engineering.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration.
• Partner closely with Mechanical, Systems, Software, Reliability, Safety, Test, and Verification Engineering teams to deliver integrated avionics solutions.
• Innovation with Stability.
• Enjoy the agility and collaboration of a mid-sized engineering organization backed by the global strength of Elbit Systems.
• Engineering Culture.
• We value engineers who take ownership, think critically, collaborate effectively, and enjoy solving difficult technical challenges.
• Modern Engineering Environment-our engineers work onsite in a collaborative engineering facility designed to support innovation, hands-on testing, focused technical work, and cross-functional problem solving.

How Success Is Measured:

• Delivering reliable, high-quality hardware designs.
• Demonstrating strong technical execution and engineering judgment.
• Taking ownership of complex engineering assignments with minimal supervision.
• Contributing effectively within integrated product development teams.
• Supporting successful qualification and verification efforts.
• Maintaining engineering rigor, documentation quality, and design reliability.
• Solving problems efficiently in complex technical environments.

What We're Looking For:

• Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or related field.
• 5+ years of hardware development experience (or equivalent non-degreed experience).
• Experience with electronic circuit design and hardware development environments.
• Strong debugging, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating across multidisciplinary teams.
• Strong communication and technical documentation skills.

Our Engineering Mindset & Core Values:

Innovation

We advance avionics technology through creative engineering and continuous improvement.

Excellence

We hold ourselves to high standards in quality, reliability, and execution.

Resilience

We solve complex technical challenges in demanding aerospace environments.

"Yes I Can" Ownership

We value engineers who are proactive, collaborative, adaptable, and solutions-oriented.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

At Universal Avionics, engineers are trusted to make meaningful technical contributions that directly impact aerospace innovation and flight operations worldwide.

You will have the opportunity to:

• Work on sophisticated avionics technologies
• Contribute to real-world aerospace products
• Collaborate with experienced engineering professionals
• Gain exposure across the entire hardware development lifecycle
• Grow your technical expertise in a highly respected aerospace environment

Benefits & Perks

Benefits begin on your first day as a full-time employee.

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage.
• 401(k) with safe harbor match within 60 days.
• 9/80 work schedule option, every other Friday off.
• Vacation, sick time, and 14 paid holidays.
• Tuition reimbursement.
• Wellness and employee assistance programs.
• And more.

Work Environment

This role is based onsite in Duluth, Georgia due to the hands-on nature of hardware integration and lab collaboration. Our engineers work in a modern facility designed to support technical innovation, cross functional collaboration, and focused engineering work.

Relocation assistance is available for qualified candidates.

If you are looking for engineering work that combines technical depth, innovation, and real mission impact, we would love to connect with you.
