About the roleThe Avionics Engineer is responsible for the design, analysis, integration, and documentation of Avionics and avionics systems associated with aircraft modifications, installations, and certification programs.
This role develops Avionics system architectures, wiring diagrams, installation data, and supporting engineering documentation to ensure aircraft systems are integrated safely and in compliance with regulatory and customer requirements. The Avionics Engineer works closely with Mechanical Engineering, Certification, Production, and external equipment vendors to ensure Avionics installations are reliable, maintainable, and certifiable.
Avionics engineering activities must comply with applicable regulatory standards including 14 CFR, EWIS requirements, applicable MIL standards, and industry best practices for aircraft Avionics system design.
What You Will Be Doing- Design, analyze, and document aircraft Avionics and avionics systems supporting modification, repair, and certification programs.
- Develop Avionics schematics, wiring diagrams, cable assemblies, installation drawings, and associated engineering documentation.
- Perform Avionics load analyses and evaluate power distribution, circuit protection, grounding, bonding, and system integration requirements.
- Ensure compliance with applicable regulations, standards, and industry best practices, including 14 CFR requirements and Avionics Wiring Interconnection System (EWIS) guidance.
- Integrate avionics, mission systems, communications equipment, sensors, antennas, and other aircraft Avionics systems.
- Coordinate with Mechanical Engineering, Certification, Production, Quality, vendors, and customers to support successful system integration and program execution.
- Support development of certification artifacts, compliance documentation, test plans, and engineering reports required for regulatory approval.
- Provide technical support during fabrication, installation, troubleshooting, testing, and aircraft modification activities.
- Participate in engineering design reviews and provide technical recommendations regarding Avionics system architecture, performance, reliability, and maintainability.
- Maintain engineering data under configuration control and ensure work products comply with company standards and procedures.
- Support continuous improvement initiatives, development of engineering standards, and implementation of lessons learned.
- Perform other duties as assigned by the Engineering Director.
