## Description

We are hiring Avionics Hardware Engineers to own flight-critical electronics across design, bring-up, test, and integration. This role is intended for engineers with experience in complex electronic systems who can take responsibility for avionics subsystems and operate effectively in a high-tempo development environment. Engineers in this role may own areas such as motor controllers, avionics backplanes, power distribution, or outward-facing avionics test and integration.

Responsibilities

 * Own avionics hardware from architecture and schematic design through PCB layout, bring-up, and production support

 * Drive design decisions including component selection, interfaces, and system tradeoffs

 * Lead hardware bring-up, debugging, and root-cause analysis across lab, integration, and flight test

 * Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure avionics hardware meets performance, reliability, and mission requirements

 * Define and execute hardware validation strategies appropriate to development and flight maturity

 * Produce clear technical documentation covering designs, test results, and engineering changes

 * Partner with manufacturing and suppliers to transition hardware from prototype to production

 * Continuously improve designs based on test results, field data, and evolving requirements
