What You’ll Do

  • Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues affecting existing avionics products, including production and field-reported issues.
  • Lead or support root-cause investigations and implement effective corrective actions.
  • Collaborate with hardware, software, FPGA, systems, test, manufacturing, and quality teams to resolve cross-functional engineering challenges.
  • Support production, integration, and testing activities to maintain product quality and reliability.
  • Evaluate and implement engineering changes, product improvements, and component replacements.
  • Maintain accurate engineering documentation, technical specifications, and product configuration records.
  • Identify opportunities to improve product reliability, manufacturability, and long-term performance.
  • Support nonconformance investigations, corrective actions, and continuous improvement initiatives.


What We’re Looking For

  • A bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, mechanical engineering, systems engineering, or a related technical field; equivalent relevant experience may be considered.
  • Experience in engineering, troubleshooting, product support, integration, testing, or sustaining engineering.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to investigate technical issues and identify root causes.
  • Experience working collaboratively across technical and cross-functional teams.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills and attention to detail.
  • The ability to manage priorities, take ownership of technical challenges, and follow issues through to resolution.
  • Eligibility to access U.S. export-controlled information and systems.

Nice to Have

  • Experience in avionics, aerospace, defense electronics, or other safety-critical products.
  • Familiarity with hardware, embedded software, FPGA, RF electronics, or complex electronic systems.
  • Knowledge of engineering change control, configuration management, and product lifecycle support.
  • Familiarity with aerospace and defense standards such as SAE ARP4754, RTCA DO-254, or RTCA DO-178C.
  • Experience with root-cause analysis, failure investigations, reliability improvement, or manufacturing support.

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
