Test Electrical Engineer - Flight Computer Hardware

Apera

Job Description

Hiring an Test Electrical Engineer – Flight Computer Hardware to own the bring-up, testing, debugging, and validation of the electronics inside a new flight-control computer for a clean-sheet aircraft.

\n

\n

This is not primarily a PCB design role. Roughly 80–90% of the work is hands-on at the bench: bringing up new PCBAs, diagnosing board-level failures, characterizing hardware, building automated tests and fixtures, and working directly with the design engineer on hardware changes and re-spins.

\n

\n

What We’re Looking For

\n
    \n
  • Approximately 3–8 years of electrical engineering experience developing complex electronic hardware.
  • \n
  • Personally owned the design, bring-up, and debugging of multiple PCBAs.
  • \n
  • Strong digital, mixed-signal, power, and embedded electronics fundamentals.
  • \n
  • Hands-on experience with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, programmable power supplies, electronic loads, and board rework.
  • \n
  • Ability to modify schematics and competently review PCB layouts.
  • \n
  • Experience using Python or similar languages for test automation.
  • \n
  • Strong engineering judgment and the ability to operate with significant autonomy.
  • \n
\n

\n

This is an opportunity for an electrical engineer who wants unusually high ownership over real aircraft hardware.

\n

\n

You won’t be responsible for one small piece of a mature program. You’ll help define the electronics architecture, build the hardware, break it, debug it, improve it, and ultimately see it fly.
