Test Electrical Engineer - Flight Computer Hardware
Apera
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.
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.
What We’re Looking For
- Approximately 3–8 years of electrical engineering experience developing complex electronic hardware.
- Personally owned the design, bring-up, and debugging of multiple PCBAs.
- Strong digital, mixed-signal, power, and embedded electronics fundamentals.
- Hands-on experience with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, programmable power supplies, electronic loads, and board rework.
- Ability to modify schematics and competently review PCB layouts.
- Experience using Python or similar languages for test automation.
- Strong engineering judgment and the ability to operate with significant autonomy.
This is an opportunity for an electrical engineer who wants unusually high ownership over real aircraft hardware.
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.
