Electrical Sustainment Engineer

Description

Innovative Aerosystems is an aerospace manufacturer and engineering company specializing in the design, development, and production of high-reliability flight-critical systems. Our portfolio includes advanced flight control and actuation systems, power distribution units, avionics, and mission-critical electronic assemblies used on commercial, business, and special mission aircraft.

We combine rigorous engineering discipline with a hands‑on, collaborative culture, operating within an AS9100-compliant environment and supporting both new development and long‑term in-service sustainment. Our teams work closely with major OEMs, operators, and MROs to deliver safe, reliable, and cost‑effective solutions that keep aircraft flying longer and performing better.

At Innovative Aerosystems, engineers are empowered to own their products across the full lifecycle—design, certification, production, and sustainment—while contributing directly to the safety and efficiency of global aviation.

The Electrical Sustainment Engineer is responsible for maintaining, improving, and supporting certified aerospace electrical and electronic products throughout their lifecycle, from production through in‑service operation.

In this mid to senior‑level role, you will:

• Own electrical sustaining activities for assigned avionics, power, control, or actuation products
• Resolve production and in‑service issues, component obsolescence, and reliability problems
• Drive engineering change activity within an AS9100‑compliant environment
• Ensure continued airworthiness, regulatory compliance, and configuration control

You will collaborate closely with systems, mechanical, manufacturing, test, quality, supply chain, and customer support teams, as well as with customers and suppliers, to ensure safe, reliable, and cost‑effective operation of Innovative Aerosystems’ products.

• Lead investigation and resolution of electrical issues from production test, qualification, and in‑service field reports.
• Perform structured root cause analysis on board‑ and system‑level failures (RMA/FRACAS, 8D, 5-Why, fault tree).
• Provide engineering dispositions for nonconformances, concessions, and deviations (MRB support).
• Support customer service and airline/MRO teams with technical assessments and corrective actions.

• Own and implement electrical Engineering Change Requests/Orders (ECRs/ECOs) for certified aerospace hardware (PCBs, harnesses, LRUs, electronic control units, sensors, power electronics).
• Manage component obsolescence and DMSMS: identify alternates, perform form/fit/function and risk assessments, and qualify replacements.
• Implement design improvements to address reliability, manufacturability, serviceability, and cost, while preserving performance, safety, and certification basis.
• Maintain strict configuration control, traceability, and documentation in accordance with AS9100 and internal procedures.

• Support production test yield improvement and recurring production issues, including test procedure updates and fixture/interface improvements.
• Assist introduction of design changes into production: pilot builds, first‑article inspections, and build validation.
• Provide technical guidance on electrical inspection, acceptance test requirements, and troubleshooting to production and repair stations.

• Perform analysis of analog, digital, and power electronics circuits to justify changes and assess performance margins.
• Define and/or review verification and validation plans and test procedures for design changes, regression testing, and re‑qualification (bench, environmental, EMC, vibration, HIRF, etc.).
• Support or lead execution of tests in environmental and EMI/EMC labs; review test data and document results.
• Contribute to certification artifacts and continued airworthiness documentation (e.g., compliance matrices, test reports, impact assessments, safety and reliability inputs).

• Ensure that design changes maintain compliance with…
