Job Description

The Avionics Engineer defines and designs military avionic systems and systems-of-systems. Specifically, the Avionics Engineer develops integrated system-level designs, and hardware and software subsystems designs. These designs are associated to avionic functions such as navigation, tactical data links, electronic warfare, defensive countermeasures, intelligence, and integrated system functions like data fusion and resource management. These design efforts include integrating the avionics systems within the aircraft, aircraft-to-aircraft, and aircraft-to-ground systems The Avionics Engineer applies knowledge specific to aircraft such as safety (e.g. FAA standards), security, robustness, and performance. Additionally, the Avionics Engineer analyzes laboratory and flight test data for functionality and performance. The Avionics Engineer also provides expertise and technical leadership to programs and sponsors to achieve overall goals through the full development life cycle (i.e., requirements development to final delivery). Tools and methodologies used by the Avionics Engineer includes Model Based System Engineering, laboratory analysis hardware, software development environments, and Agile methodologies.
Key Responsibilities
• Decompose, develop, and allocate requirements into system-of-systems performance design criteria.
• Collaborate to develop technical solutions and ensure products meet allocated requirements and design criteria as well as comply with military, safety, and security standards.
• Integrate and test system components in a laboratory or on-aircraft environment and analyze test data to determine if system requirements are met and identify deficiencies.
• Develop technical reports, test plans, memos, and diagrams detailing product or system attributes.
• Begin to participate in sponsor engagement contacts Qualifications Required:
Bachelors Degree
· Active Secret Clearance.
· Experience technically leading multi-disciplined (System Engineers, Software Engineers, Test Engineer) project teams.
· Experience processing and analyzing data with tools such as Python or R.
· Experience with avionic data buses (e.g., MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429, Ethernet, RS-422, etc.), tactical data links (e.g., Link-16), military radios, and open systems architecture frameworks (e.g., FACE™ and OMS/UCI). · Experience using Model-Based System Engineering (SysML) to design systems (e.g., use cases, behavior, interfaces, data models). · Additional DoDAF experience is a plus.
· Experience working in a full-lifecycle agile and/or digital engineering environment.
· Experience supporting field tests to troubleshoot and solve problems.
· Experience designing secure and safe system solutions.
· Experience developing/designing complex, software-intensive, military unmanned air systems (UAS) using system engineering processes and methodologies.
· Experience developing autonomous unmanned aircraft systems (UAS/UAV).
· Experience developing autonomous unmanned surface vehicles (USV), unmanned ground vehicles (UGV), unmanned under systems (UUV).
· Experience with Modular Open System Approach (MOSA).
· Knowledge of the operational use models of military UAS.
· Knowledge of FAA and Military regulations. Benefits: o Eligibility requirements apply to some benefits and may depend on your job classification and length of employment.
