We’re looking for a detail-oriented Electrical Engineer who is excited to design, verify, and support the manufacturing of aviation-grade electronics that power next-generation actuators and mixed-signal systems. In this role, you’ll be a key contributor of the full hardware development lifecycle, from schematic capture and PCB design to simulation, verification, and production support.

• Key contributor to the hardware design lifecycle of aviation electronics, including schematic capture, PCB layout, component selection, communication bus design, and fabrication oversight.
• Partner with Mechanical Engineering to address integration, thermal management, and packaging challenges.
• Collaborate with Systems Engineering to align hardware capabilities with system requirements and certification plans.
• Build and run models to simulate performance under nominal and edge-case conditions; conduct detailed analyses such as DFMEA, fault tree, functional safety, part stress, DFM, DFT, and DFA.
• Develop and execute hardware verification strategies, including test plans and procedures to ensure compliance with performance, safety, and regulatory standards.
• Support manufacturing through EOL test development, troubleshooting, and yield improvement efforts.
• Work with test teams on lab and system-level setup, debugging, and verification of actuator hardware.
• Maintain design records, documentation, and configuration control in compliance with DO-254 lifecycle requirements.
• Participate in supplier selection and evaluation, including COTS component assessments.
• Create task plans with dependencies and lead times to integrate into program master schedules.

• Minimum of 4 years of experience developing and fielding electronics hardware for real-time systems, particularly in power electronics, digital circuitry, sensor interfacing, and communication bus design (CAN and other aviation buses).
• Graduate or higher degree in Electrical Engineering preferred; relevant professional experience may be accepted in lieu of a degree.
• Strong foundation in motor control, power conversion, and real-time embedded systems is a plus.
• Prior experience in aviation hardware development preferred; automotive or aerospace experience also valued.
• Hands-on proficiency with circuit simulation (SPICE), PCB tools (Altium, Simulink/MATLAB), test instrumentation, Python, and communication bus design.
• Familiarity with certification standards (DO-254, DO-160, ARPs) preferred; willingness to learn and apply required.

• Problem Solving & Troubleshooting – Able to dig deep into challenges and deliver robust, reliable solutions.
• Ownership & Accountability – Self-motivated, takes initiative, and drives projects to completion.
• Collaboration – Skilled at working across disciplines (mechanical, systems, test, manufacturing).
• Attention to Detail – Committed to accuracy, safety, and regulatory compliance.
• Adaptability – Thrives in a fast-paced environment with evolving requirements and technologies.

• Mid-Senior level

• Full-time

• Aviation and Aerospace Component Manufacturing
