You may also be the technical lead for projects during both the design and test phases.
DUTIES:- A wide degree of creativity and latitude is encouraged.
- Develop system requirements, architecture and interfaces between new avionic or mission systems and legacy aircraft systems.
- Develop aircraft systems and subsystem electrical designs to include creation of aircraft wiring diagrams, electrical installation drawings and harness fabrication drawings using Computer Aided Design (CAD) programs.
- Design control panels, circuit breaker panels, relay panels and interface panels.
- Perform and write engineering analysis and reports as required to obtain airworthiness certification to include Electrical Loads Analysis (ELA)
- Develop and present formal and informal design reviews.
- Develop installation instructions.
- Provide engineering support during the manufacturing phase.
- Provide engineering support during prototype, validation and verification of aircraft modifications.
- Review completed installations to ensure conformance to design.
- Develop avionics and electrical system and subsystem testing, write test plans, test procedures, and test reports.
- Perform aircraft avionics and electrical system and subsystem testing and write test reports.
- Provide avionics systems, aircraft electrical systems and electronic test equipment subject matter expertise and troubleshooting support to solve functional and system performance problems during post modification testing.
- Support component level qualification testing.
- Performs other duties as assigned.
EDUCATION / EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS:- Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering (or closely related field) with at least 10 years related experience is required.
