This is a hands-on product engineering role. Working with experienced engineers and cross-functional partners, you will support the development lifecycle from requirements and design through build, integration, test, verification, qualification, production, and sustainment. You will work directly with internal manufacturing teams and suppliers, support hardware builds, and perform bench-level testing and troubleshooting using electronic test equipment.

Responsibilities

• Support the development and lifecycle execution of avionics hardware products under the guidance of senior engineers, including requirements, interfaces, design documentation, build, integration, test, and release activities.
• Perform hands-on hardware integration, functional testing, and troubleshooting using laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, electronic loads, and logic analyzers.
• Partner with electrical hardware, mechanical, embedded software, FPGA, controls, systems, test, manufacturing, and mission assurance teams to resolve clearly scoped technical issues.
• Support hardware manufacturers and suppliers during fabrication, assembly, inspection, and acceptance activities; document and help resolve build discrepancies and nonconformances.
• Create and maintain engineering documentation, including test procedures, test reports, requirements-verification evidence, work instructions, and issue-tracking records.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or another related technical field.
• 2+ years of experience in the design, build, integration, test, or verification of avionics, electronic hardware, embedded systems, or comparable complex hardware products.
• Foundational knowledge of electrical engineering fundamentals, including analog and digital circuits, component datasheets, schematic interpretation, and basic electronic troubleshooting.
• Hands-on experience using electronic laboratory test equipment, such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, bench power supplies, electronic loads, or logic analyzers.
• Familiarity with engineering requirements, design reviews, and hardware verification or qualification activities.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master of Science in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Experience supporting digital, analog, and/or mixed-signal circuit-board design, fabrication, assembly, or test.
• Experience working in a manufacturing, laboratory, aerospace, automotive, defense, medical-device, or other high-reliability hardware environment.
• Familiarity with requirements-management or product-lifecycle tools, such as Jama or similar tools.
• Experience supporting environmental, acceptance, or qualification testing of electronic hardware.
