Canyon Aero Connect stands as one of the world’s leading suppliers of avionic-standard aircraft communications, navigation and audio/intercom systems. Canyon’s products have been widely adopted and proven in-service across a wide range of civilian, paramilitary and military fixed-wing and rotorcraft applications. Over the years, we’ve become known as the benchmark in aircraft tactical communication and audio equipment for Air Ambulance, Law Enforcement, SAR, EMS, Electronic News Gathering, Military and Marine applications.

Products include digital and analog radio/audio management systems, Tac/Com, VHF/UHF radio systems, intercoms, data interface accessories, and aural warning. We are seeking dynamic thinkers who could be integral team members for our high-tech avionics’ products.

Individuals at this level work with limited supervision and lead complex mechanical engineering assignments, product subsystems, or significant project work packages. They apply advanced engineering knowledge to define approaches, resolve technical issues, balance competing requirements, and guide work from concept through qualification and production support. They regularly coordinate with customers, suppliers, the factory, and other engineering disciplines and provide technical guidance to less experienced engineers.

Must be able to meet all minimum standards within 90 days.

• Leads the design and analysis of complex mechanical systems, equipment, and packaging for avionics with a focus on manufacturability, performance, reliability, maintainability, and cost.
• Translates system and product requirements into mechanical design requirements, design approaches, analyses, and verification activities.
• Owns mechanical design work from concept through release, qualification, production transition, and support of legacy products.
• Conducts and reviews thermal, modal, material, and structural analyses using CFD/FEA software and engineering calculations. Validates assumptions, methods, and results.
• Develops and reviews 3D models, drawings, specifications, tolerance analyses, and GD&T in Solid Works for completeness, accuracy, and compliance with company standards.
• Plans and coordinates prototype fabrication, design testing, verification activities, and technical readiness for design release.
• Leads mechanical design reviews, presents technical rationale, documents decisions, and ensures resulting actions are completed.
• Assesses architecture and hardware limitations and develops design trade studies that balance performance, reliability, producibility, cost, schedule, and risk.
• Provides technical support to the factory and suppliers, including resolution of complex manufacturing, assembly, inspection, and product performance issues.
• Leads root cause investigations and the development, verification, and implementation of corrective and preventive actions for in-service and production failures.
• Defines technical tasks, estimates effort, identifies dependencies and risks, and communicates progress and recovery plans to project and engineering leadership.
• Serves as a primary mechanical engineering contact for assigned projects when coordinating with customers, suppliers, and cross-functional teams.
• Reviews the work of less experienced engineers and provides coaching on engineering methods,…
