• Translate operational requirements into robust system module designs and comprehensive verification strategies that ensure performance and reliability.

• Integrate and troubleshoot prototype hardware and software to ensure seamless interoperability across subsystems.

• Conduct root cause analysis of field issues by collaborating closely with OEMs and customers to resolve complex system-level challenges.

• Develop and execute system-level test procedures to validate hardware/software functionality and ensure full compliance with technical requirements.

• Design and implement automated test frameworks to streamline regression testing and improve verification efficiency.

• Author and maintain technical documentation , including interface control documents, system specifications, and process guides.

• Support product transition to production , including design validation, manufacturing readiness, and field deployment support.

What you need:

• Bachelor's degree in a Science, Technology, Engineering or Math (STEM) discipline.

• Minimum 2 years of relevant experience in systems engineering, aerospace engineering, or a related technical field.

• Experience with programming languages like Python for developing automated test scripts and frameworks.

• Experience with hands-on hardware integration, software debugging, and troubleshooting in avionics environments.

• Understanding of system-level testing, verification strategies, and root cause analysis.

• Ability to translate operational requirements into robust system designs.

• Excellent communication skills.

• Ability to lead cross-functional engineering efforts is preferred.

• Experience working under ISO 9001 guidelines is preferred.

• Previous experience in avionics or aerospace systems is preferred.

• Familiarity with wireless and networked avionics systems, including Wi-Fi and Cellular technologies preferred.

• Familiarity with database systems preferred.

• Expertise in communications protocols, networking, protocol analysis (e.g., TCP/IP, UDP), and network architecture design preferred.

• Must be a U.S. Person (includes U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, refugees, and asylees)

What we offer:

• Competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and a 401(k) with company match

• Paid time off, flexible work options, and tuition reimbursement

• Career growth, professional development, and wellness resources

• The opportunity to grow with a world-leading avionics company specializing in electronics, software, and networking
