Description

As a Systems Hardware Engineer on our team, you will be responsible for systems level integration and validation of flight-critical avionics hardware throughout its lifetime.

You will collaborate with cross-functional teams, including propulsion, structures, firmware, software, safety, certification, and production, to design, develop, and implement integration and validation solutions at the hardware level and meet the highest standards of safety and reliability at the drone level.

This role requires experience in analog/digital hardware systems and automated lab test development.

Key job responsibilities:

  • Validate hardware interfaces and unblock system integration across the avionics system.
  • Architect, design, build, and operate test systems for drone avionics hardware at the bring-up, sub-system, and system levels.
  • Develop and execute comprehensive verification and validation test plans, including qualification and compliance against aerospace standards (e.g., DO-160, DO-254).
  • Analyze test data, generate test reports with recommendations, and ensure adherence to regulatory requirements.
  • Perform root cause analysis on hardware system failures, develop and implement corrective actions, and drive continuous improvement of validation processes and manufacturing reliability.
  • Contribute to manufacturing, in-service, and reliability initiatives for avionics hardware in production environments.

A day in the life:

Our team is empowered to assess, judge, decide and move between analysis, design, and validation challenges with bias to action.

The goal is to make sound engineering decisions throughout the product lifetime.

You might begin the morning analyzing requirements, reviewing test data, updating a test script model based on what you learned.

You could work alongside peers to evaluate a design change or resolve competing validation requirements.

You may spend the afternoon troubleshooting a hardware failure, preparing for a design review, working with a supplier, or developing a test system.
