About the Role

Our client, a pioneering force in aviation electronics, is looking for a highly skilled and motivated Senior Avionics Systems Engineer to join their fully remote engineering team. This role is crucial for the design, development, integration, and testing of cutting‑edge avionics systems for next‑generation aircraft. The successful candidate will operate in a remote‑first environment, collaborating with a global network of engineers and specialists.

You will be responsible for ensuring that our client's avionics solutions meet the highest standards of performance, reliability, and safety. This is an exceptional opportunity for an experienced engineer to contribute to significant projects, work with advanced technologies, and enjoy the flexibility of a remote work setup. We are seeking an individual with a proven track record in complex avionics development and a passion for innovation in aviation technology.

Your expertise will directly influence the future of flight.

Key Responsibilities
  • Design, develop, and integrate complex avionics systems, including navigation, communication, flight control, and mission systems.
  • Perform system‑level analysis, simulation, and performance modeling to validate designs.
  • Develop and execute test plans for avionics hardware and software, both in simulation and on actual aircraft.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues encountered during the development, integration, and flight testing phases.
  • Collaborate with cross‑functional teams, including software developers, hardware engineers, and aerodynamicists, to ensure seamless system integration.
  • Contribute to the creation of technical documentation, including system specifications, design documents, and test reports.
  • Stay current with emerging avionics technologies, industry standards, and regulatory requirements.
  • Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers on the team.
  • Participate in design reviews and provide expert feedback on avionics architecture and implementation.
Requirements
  • A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
  • A minimum of 7 years of progressive experience in avionics systems engineering.
  • Proven experience with avionics system design, integration, and testing methodologies.
  • In‑depth knowledge of communication protocols (e.g., ARINC 429, ARINC 664), navigation systems (GPS, INS), and flight control laws.
  • Familiarity with embedded software development processes and tools.
  • Experience with systems engineering tools and techniques (e.g., DOORS, SysML).
  • Excellent analytical, problem‑solving, and critical‑thinking skills.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills, essential for remote collaboration.
  • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision in a distributed team environment.
  • Experience in regulatory compliance for aviation (e.g., FAA, EASA) is highly desirable.
Benefits

This role comes with a highly competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision insurance. Our client offers a robust retirement savings plan and generous paid time off. As a remote position, you benefit from the ultimate flexibility in your work location. You will have access to state‑of‑the‑art virtual collaboration tools and opportunities for continuous professional development, including advanced technical training and conference attendance.

This is a chance to be part of a forward‑thinking company that is pushing the boundaries of aviation technology from the convenience of your home office.
