Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, Embedded Systems, or equivalent experience
  • Strong fundamentals in precision analog signal conditioning, ADC/DAC chains, isolation, SMPS basics, grounding/shielding, and EMC-aware layout
  • Hands-on PCB development: schematic capture and layout (Altium or KiCad), bring-up, debugging, and rework
  • Experience designing/executing automated tests and data analysis (Python, MATLAB, or LabVIEW)
  • Experience troubleshooting electronics and test setups
  • Proficiency with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, power supplies/eLoads, DAQ, DMMs, function generators); safe HV/LV lab practices
  • Ability to write clear test procedures/reports and manage configuration-controlled artifacts
  • Above and Beyond Qualifications
  • 3+ years in electronics design and/or verification for regulated, safety-critical, or high-reliability products (aerospace, automotive, medical, industrial)
  • In-depth embedded systems/embedded software experience in C or C++
  • In-depth Python experience
  • Experience with ARP4754A development; familiarity with DO-160, and exposure to DO-254/DO-178C processes
  • HIL platforms and automated test frameworks (NI PXI/DAQ, or other industry standard equipment) and experience building custom testers
  • Calibration background: fixtures, uncertainty analysis, NIST-traceability, and asset management
  • In-depth knowledge of sensor interfaces: strain/bridge, IEPE/ICP accelerometers, 4–20 mA/0–10 V, RTD/thermocouple, pressure, current/voltage sensing
  • Communication protocols: CAN/CAN-FD, ARINC 429, RS-422/485, SPI, I2C, UART; time sync/telemetry (GPS PPS, PTP/1588, Ethernet) a plus
  • Power electronics exposure (isolated supplies, input p)

Responsibilities

  • Design rugged, miniaturized production and flight test instrumentation
  • Conduct schematic capture and PCB layout (Altium/KiCad)
  • Plan and execute requirements-based verification: write test plans, procedures and cases; build HIL benches/fixtures and automate tests in Python/LabVIEW/MATLAB
  • Support DO-160 environmental/EMC testing and ARP4754A requirements/traceability with clear, auditable documentation
  • Develop long-term calibration infrastructure (fixtures, procedures, asset tracking, firmware hooks for stored constants)
  • Implement BIT and production/EOL test strategies; ensure instrumentation is non-interfering with certified aircraft systems
  • Optional: Develop embedded C firmware (sensor drivers, timing/sync, comms) and internal tools for visualization, automation, and calibration
  • Collaborate closely with Flight Test, Systems, Software, Manufacturing, and Certification teams
