About the role
We are seeking a highly motivated engineer to support the design, development, integration, and fielding of a next-generation autonomous aircraft system. This position requires a balance of technical rigor, rapid decision-making, and hands-on engineering to efficiently transition concepts into operational capability. The ideal candidate is comfortable solving complex problems, taking ownership, working within an accelerated aircraft development environment, and is motivated by getting meaningful capability into the hands of operators quickly.
WHAT YOU’LL DO:
•
Design complex electro-mechanical solutions for avionics packaging, electrical interconnects, thermal management, and aircraft integration
•
Perform structural, preliminary thermal, and modal analyses for avionics to ensure survivability in harsh environments
•
Ensure avionics meet performance, safety, environmental, and EMI/EMC compliance standards, including DO-160, DO-254, DO-178C, MIL-STD-810, and MIL-STD-461
•
Own your design work from concept to reviews through system validation, failure analysis, and flight test readiness.
