WHO YOU ARE:
Astro Mechanica is looking for an Avionics Engineer to join our growing team. The ideal candidate is someone who is capable of architecting, designing, configuring, and continuously improving the electrical subsystems for our innovative jet engine and aircraft. Your work at Astro Mechanica will bridge hardware and software in a formative stage of development, and require frequent cross-discipline problem solving.
In this role, your mission will be to implement robust avionics designs from initial concept, design, validation, and flight operations. You will have direct responsibility to build out avionics interfacing with other systems while maintaining reliability through fault-tolerant methodology. This will be implemented and proven through rigorous subsystem and aircraft level integration testing before leaving the ground. You embody the test-like-you-fly philosophy.
WHAT YOU’LL DO:
Architect avionics systems for flight hardware and corresponding ground-based test infrastructure including hardware-in-the-loop test beds.
Collaborate with other engineering disciplines on system trades and implementation of solutions.
Own avionics component selection, analysis, and integration.
Draft engineering drawings, electrical schematics, and wiring pinout diagrams
Develop and maintain software controllers and configuration for operating hardware systems.
Troubleshoot, root cause, and resolve problems in a rapid hardware iteration environment
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:
Experience with wire harnesses and associated sub-components
Familiarity with installing and troubleshooting various electronic sensors and components.
Competence with electrical test equipment (multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, etc.)
Experience with 3D CAD software
Software fluency, enabling automation of test or analysis tasks.
Flexibility to work in fast-paced environment
Attentive to detail and maintain a high level of quality in all work
