Senior Avionics Hardware Engineer; m​/f​/d

Mission Brief

Join the Avionics Department at Isar, within the Electrical Engineering Team responsible for high-reliability hardware design of PCBAs and Avionics Units that are the backbone of our Spectrum Launch Vehicle.

As a Senior Avionics Engineer, you will provide direct contribution to our technology stack and take responsibility for critical Avionics units: driving them through their entire lifecycle from early concept, to detailed design, qualification, and all the way to successful on-orbit operations in Space.

The ideal candidate is someone with deep technical expertise in Electrical and Electronics engineering who thrives in a fast-moving environment. Preference will be given to those with the ability to make sound technical decisions, able to raise the bar for engineering quality, and the ability to provide technical mentorship to other Engineers along the way.

• Take on ownership of at least one high-reliability Avionics Unit
• Own all interfaces of your product across its lifecycle, from design to manufacturing to verification and integration, including all technical and programmatic interfaces
• Carry out the full Electrical design cycle for PCBAs including component selection, schematic capture, layout and design verification
• Take on Unit level tasks for your products including requirement management, design, reliability analyses, qualification & acceptance testing, as well as troubleshooting analysis
• Conduct design reviews for your products and participate in system level design reviews
• Plan, execute, and evaluate verification, acceptance, and qualification tests at unit, subsystem, and vehicle level
• Develop test procedures and automated scripts for verifying unit functional and electrical performance under harsh operating conditions, such as thermal, vacuum, and vibration
• Capture interface requirements and design specifications for test equipment used in test campaigns of your products
• Actively participate in Integrated Testing & Flight Data reviews
• Collaborate on ad-hoc tasks related to Avionics PCBAs, Units and, Systems with your peers in the Avionics department
• Provide ad-hoc mentoring to other Engineers in a constructive manner

• BSc/MSc in Electrical Engineering, Energy Science and Technology or comparable
• 5+ years of working experience with complex PCBs and electronics
• 2+ years of working experience within a high-reliability industry, such as Aerospace, Medical, or Automotive
• Extensive experience with complex electronics and circuit theory for embedded, power electronics, analog interfaces, and logic
• Extensive experience in E-CAD tools (Schematic & Layout Design), preferably Altium Designer
• Extensive Experience in simulation tools such as PSpice, LTspice, Altium Simulation, or Simulink
• Experience in hands-on testing and verification of design functionality and performance
• Experience with international or external product standards, regulations or requirements, such as ISO/ANSI/AEC/MIL or similar
• Experience with core product analyses and tools such as Failure Modes and Effects Analyses, Reliability (MTBF), Fault Tree, Ishikawa (Fish-Bone), or similar
• Experience in Design for Test and Design for Manufacture concepts
• Experience with
