Engineer avionics systems architecture, integration, and testing for new aerospace vehicles in early development stages.
Обязанности
- Define avionics architecture and requirements for new vehicles, including power, data, RF, and sensor topologies
- Work directly with other responsible engineers on structures, propulsion, GNC, software, and customer teams to define and close vehicle electrical interfaces
- Design vehicle wiring diagrams and harnesses, and own the electrical integration of avionics boxes, sensors, and actuators into the vehicle
- Perform system-level trades on mass, power, thermal, manufacturability, cost, and schedule to drive design decisions early in the program
- Plan and execute system-level integration and test, including integration lane checkouts and vehicle-level testing, and support hardware-in-the-loop testing with partner teams
- Develop, execute, and document system verification on flight and flight-representative hardware, and validate the as-built vehicle is “go for launch”
- Troubleshoot issues on integrated vehicles and test setups on an aggressive development schedule
- Support launch operations on console, including real-time troubleshooting of the vehicle
- Develop tools and automation for test, analysis, and manipulation of large data sets
- Lead system projects, including development schedules, task ownership, and the internal and external resources required to support them
Требования
- Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline
- 1+ years of experience using software tools such as Python, MATLAB, or C++
- 1+ years of experience with electrical component design, system-level integration of electronic components, or system-level testing
- Extended hours and weekend work may be required to support critical project and mission milestones
- Occasional travel to vendor, test, and integration sites may be required

- As an Avionics Systems Engineer on the Special Programs team, you will architect, integrate, and test the avionics systems for new vehicles. Our programs are early in their life cycle, so you will work on the vehicle while the design is still taking shape and see your decisions through integration, test, and launch.
- Aerospace experience is not required to be successful here - we want our engineers to bring fresh ideas from all areas. We look for engineers who love solving problems and seek to make an impact on an inspiring mission. As we expand this team, we're looking for versatile, motivated, and collaborative engineers who are comfortable making decisions without all available data and owning the results through first flight.
