Key responsibilities include:
- Design, troubleshoot, and debug Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (PCBA), owning circuit and board-level designs from concept through validation
- Develop and implement design changes to PCBAs, and lead detailed failure analysis and root cause investigations at the board and subsystem level
- Design, fabricate, test, and validate complex wire harnesses and assemblies, including connector selection and installation
- Author, maintain, and execute test and acceptance procedures for system validation and certification
- Plan and conduct board-level and system-level testing, analyze test data, and present findings to engineering teams
- Oversee calibration, configuration control, and testing of electronic equipment within the lab environment
- Drive avionics system integration and subsystem verification activities, ensuring compliance with safety and aircraft certification requirements
- Plan and support qualification testing, including test setup, equipment checkout, and coordination with local Southern California test labs
- Collaborate with various engineering disciplines (GNC, Perception, Systems, Software, Flight Test) to define interfaces and integrate avionics components
- Lead or present at design reviews, providing technical insight on system integration, safety, and performance
REQUIREMENTS:
Minimum qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or related field
- 4+ years of experience in electronics design, testing, or system integration in aerospace or related industry
- Demonstrated experience taking PCBA designs from schematic through layout, bring-up, and validation
- Proficiency in schematic capture and PCB layout tools (e.g., Altium, OrCAD)
- Strong technical writing and verbal communication skills
- Ability to travel within Southern California as required for testing and system integration
Preferred qualifications:
- Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
- Experience in design and integration of Avionics/Electromechanical systems within aircraft environment
