Electrical Integration - Staff Electrical Engineer

We are growing the Avionics Engineering team to support development of the X-BAT aircraft and the Launch and Recovery Vehicle. Our team is designing a flight critical, custom avionics system to support communications, compute, AI, power, telemetry, and all other needed aircraft systems.

This role is an exciting opportunity to be responsible for integrating avionics systems, sensors, actuators, and payloads onto the XBAT and Launch and Recovery vehicle ensuring from concept through production.

Responsibilities:

• Lead end-to-end integration of avionics systems across aircraft and launch/recovery platforms
• Define avionics architecture, harnessing, and system integration documentation for avionics systems
• Own integration of COTS and custom hardware onto the platform - including compute, radios, sensors, actuators, and power systems
• Drive system-level debugging and root cause analysis across electrical, mechanical, and software domains
• Develop integration plans, verification strategies, and qualification test approaches to relevant standards and requirements
• Oversee harness architecture and electrical interface control documentation (ICDs)
• Lead hardware bring-up, HIL and flight test integration, and production transition
• Mentor junior engineers and raise overall technical standards within the team
• Proactively identify design risks and drive mitigation early in development

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Aerospace, Mechanical, Systems Engineering or equivalent technical degree
• 6+ years of industry experience in avionics or complex embedded system integration
• Proven experience integrating flight-critical or mission-critical hardware systems
• Deep understanding of power distribution, signal integrity, grounding, EMI/EMC considerations
• Experience with hardware/software integration and cross-functional technical leadership
• Demonstrated ownership of systems from concept through production
• Strong troubleshooting skills across electrical and embedded domains
• Ability to operate effectively in fast-paced development environments with flight schedules
