Avionics Engineer

Looking to apply your hardware skills to real flight platforms? Our partner company in Zurich is expanding its team and is looking for a Junior Avionics Engineer. If you bring a foundational background in Electrical or Aerospace Engineering along with practical skills in PCB design and hardware testing, this role offers a collaborative environment to take on real technical responsibility. Apply now to join the hardware team.

As a Junior Avionics Engineer, you will provide hands‑on support in developing advanced avionics platforms. You will work within a dynamic team of eight, bridging the gap between hardware design and embedded software integration.
