## Description

We are hiring experienced Avionics Hardware Engineers to specialize in high-speed digital design, flight computer architecture, and advanced avionics hardware development across our avionics organization. This role is ideal for engineers with deep EE fundamentals and hands-on ownership experience designing complex embedded hardware for mission-critical systems.

Engineers in this role focus on flight computer architecture, high-speed digital board design, system bring-up, and hardware validation across real flight hardware. The ideal candidate has experience owning complex board designs from architecture through integration and thrives in fast-paced hardware development environments.

Responsibilities

 * Design and develop advanced board-level electrical hardware including schematic capture, PCB layout oversight, component selection, and interface definition
 * Own high-speed digital and embedded flight computer architectures including processors, memory systems, and board-level integration
 * Perform board bring-up, validation, debugging, and root-cause analysis in the lab
 * Test reference boards and early prototypes using standard lab equipment
 * Drive signal integrity, power integrity, and hardware reliability considerations throughout the design lifecycle
 * Work with avionics, embedded software, test, and manufacturing teams to iterate designs quickly
 * Support hardware/software integration and troubleshooting across avionics platforms
 * Document designs, test results, and engineering changes clearly
