  • Perform aircraft-level analysis of installation, performance, certification, and safety requirements (ARP-4754/4761), escalating complex issues as needed.
  • Develop and refine system and equipment-level requirements based on technical standards.
  • Take ownership of defined integration deliverables - requirements documents, interface definitions, test inputs - with accountability for accuracy and completeness.
  • Collaborate with hardware, software, and certification teams to identify and resolve integration issues.

Test & Verification
  • Prepare and execute system verification and validation tasks, including test setup, data collection, and troubleshooting.
  • Participate in systems, ground, and flight test evaluations, ensuring results are accurately recorded and reported.
  • Draft and maintain integration plans, test procedures, and related documentation.

Certification & Compliance
  • Contribute to FAA certification efforts by preparing compliance evidence, test results, and documentation.
  • Support internal reviews to confirm adherence to ARP-4754/4761, DO-178C, DO-254, and related standards.
  • Coordinate with suppliers and vendors to validate compliance of components and subsystems.

What You Bring

Technical Knowledge
  • Bachelor's degree in systems, computer, aerospace, or a related engineering discipline, plus 2+ years of relevant industry experience (or a Master's with less experience).
  • Applied knowledge of systems engineering, requirements development and management, and test engineering principles.
  • General familiarity with avionics subsystems, architectures, and aircraft-level interfaces.
  • Awareness of FAA certification processes and industry standards such as ARP-4754/4761, DO-178C, and DO-254.

Collaboration & Communication
  • Ability to execute assigned tasks independently and deliver accurate, well-documented results.
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills for working across engineering teams, customers, and suppliers.
  • Organized approach to tracking tasks and managing priorities in a fast-moving development environment.

Bonus Points
  • Private Pilot License (PPL) or a demonstrated personal passion for aviation.
  • Master's degree in an engineering discipline.
  • Familiarity with CFR 14 Part 23, 25, or 27 aircraft.
