Aerospace / Avionics Electrical Engineer

Contract Role

Location : Remote

Visa : Only US Citizens or Green card holders

We are looking for electrical engineer , avionics to join our key customer Design Automation Engineering Services team to develop high-reliability avionics, embedded processing, and power systems for Group 5 air vehicles and missile platforms. Working across hardware, software, and mission autonomy, the team delivers flight-critical electronics, PCB assemblies, and FPGA-based processing architectures that enable next-generation autonomous air platforms to operate in complex and contested environments. AD&S Electrical Engineers drive end-to-end development, from system architecture and circuit design to verification, integration, and flight test, ensuring scalable, mission-ready solutions that meet the performance, reliability, and survivability demands of the U.S. Military and modern air warfare.

As an Electrical Engineer, Avionics Design you will be tasked with working closely with avionics engineers to review and design electrical integration details to ensure details are documented and communicated to all relevant stakeholders. If you are someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment supporting new developments, active deployments, and customer operated hardware, we are looking for you.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

· Full cycle PCB design including collecting requirements, schematic design, component selection, supervision or completion of layout, bring-up, test, debug, and system integration

· Conduct bring-up and design work on microcontrollers, ensuring seamless integration within the system

· Troubleshoot issues that span electrical and software boundaries, utilizing both lab equipment (Oscilloscopes, DMM, etc.) and basic software debugging tools}

ADDITIONAL LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES

· Work in a fast-paced environment supporting new developments, deployments, and customer operated hardware

· Perform power design, including development and integration of power management systems and components

· Develop payloads and subsystems (sensors, payload interfaces, power management, and networking)

· Create system interconnect diagrams and define wire harnesses that connect electronic equipment within a subsystem

· Collaborate closely with other electrical, mechanical, software, firmware, and test engineers to deliver fully functional, mission-critical products

· Conduct peer-level and cross-discipline design reviews

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

· Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent, with 3+ years of experience designing, testing, and troubleshooting complex system designs

· Ability to perform power system and electrical loading analysis, simulation, and testing to determine optimal solutions

· High competence using lab test equipment (benchtop power supplies, electronics loads, oscilloscopes, DMM, logic/spectrum analyzers, etc.) with familiarity of thermal and EMI test chambers and using basic software debugging tools

· Familiarity with common electrical bus interfaces (CAN, I2C, SPI, Ethernet, RS232/422, RS485, USB)

· Exceptional organization and communication skills (both written and oral)

· Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. security clearance

· Experience with power design and power management systems

· Hands-on experience with microcontrollers, including bring-up and design work

· Knowledge of modern analog and digital electronics and electronic circuits

· Experience designing mixed-signal PCBs with multiple layer counts, layer stackup and impedance matching for power and sensor applications, understanding correct grounding approaches and employing appropriate board protections and filtering

· Understanding of low voltage and high voltage power electronics and control systems in order to capture system interconnect diagrams and drive cable harnessing designs with proper wire and connector selection

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

· Familiar with high end consumer or military embedded systems design

· Experience with power systems including batteries and AC power.

· Develop low-level firmware for bring-up and test

· Background in defense and missile systems.

· Comprehensive understanding of the effects of temperature and vibration on electrical designs.

Pay: $55.00 - $75.00 per hour
