Communications Systems Integration Engineer; Hybrid

The Electric Power Systems group is seeking a future technical leader to guide the development of next-generation aerospace communication interfaces and serial data bus architectures. This role extends beyond individual engineering contributions — it is intended for someone who can lead multidisciplinary teams, shape technical strategy, build development roadmaps, and drive program execution in close partnership with engineering leadership.

• Provide technical direction across systems, hardware, software, and test engineering to architect robust communication and interface solutions for power distribution systems.
• Own the interface I/O and communications architecture strategy, influencing design decisions and shaping long‑term communication approaches across platforms.
• Decompose system‑level requirements into actionable hardware, software, and test requirements to ensure alignment and efficiency.
• Perform project estimation, defining scope, staffing needs, cost drivers, and schedule impacts for interface development tasks.
• Lead Agile‑based planning, sprint execution, backlog refinement, and cross‑team coordination.
• Track progress, risks, and dependencies across engineering teams, ensuring milestones are met and communicated effectively.
• Develop, monitor, and manage budgets, earned value, and resource allocation for interface development efforts.
• Create and maintain multi‑year technology roadmaps for data bus strategies, interface architectures, tool improvements, automation, and test capabilities.
• Identify opportunities to mature communication technologies, improve development efficiency, and streamline integration workflows.
• Drive innovation in data bus technologies (ARINC, CAN, 1553, AFDX, Ethernet), modeling tools, and verification methods.
• Mentor junior engineers in requirements development, debugging, lab practices, and systems thinking.
• Contribute to performance feedback, skill development planning, and technical career growth for the team.
• Lead technical design reviews, champion good engineering discipline, and maintain a culture of quality and continuous improvement.
• Develop interface verification strategies, simulation approaches, and system‑level test plans.
• Lead hands‑on integration efforts in system labs, ensuring proper electrical behavior, data bus communication, and system interoperability.
• Direct root‑cause investigations, troubleshooting activities, and corrective‑action implementation.
• Oversee creation and maintenance of ICDs, I/O signal definitions, and data path documentation using modern web‑based tools.
• Ensure traceability and configuration control across DOORS, Synergy, and Agile artifacts.
• Present schedule updates, risk assessments, architectural decisions, and integration results to leadership and external stakeholders.

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and minimum 8 years prior relevant experience or an Advanced Degree in a related field and minimum 5 years of experience.
• Electrical engineering background with hands‑on experience in aerospace communication standards (ARINC
  664/AFDX, ARINC
  429, ARINC
  825/CAN, MIL‑STD‑1553B, ARINC
  629).
• Experience designing, analyzing, or verifying Ethernet or CAN communication hardware.
• Strong understanding of signal integrity, transmission line theory, and lab‑based debugging tools (oscilloscope, TDR).
• Experience with project estimation, schedule and resource planning, Agile execution (Scrum, SAFe), and budget tracking.
• Demonstrated ability to create technology roadmaps, perform multi‑year planning, and coordinate effectively across cross‑functional teams.
• Proficiency with DOORS, Synergy, JIRA, and modern version control practices.
• Experience using Python, VBA, XML, or DXL for automation and data transformation.
• Familiarity with aviation data bus design assurance standards such as CRI‑F66, CRI‑F30, CME‑09, and AC20‑156.

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• Three weeks of vacation for newly hired employees.
• Generous 401(k) plan with employer matching funds and separate employer retirement contribution, including a Lifetime Income Strategy option.
• Tuition reimbursement…
