Senior Avionics Engineer (F/M/X)

Your Main Responsibilities

To scale our flight and test hardware, we are strengthening our in-house avionics capability. In this role, you will join a lean team with short decision paths and real ownership, helping turn requirements into robust electronics and software that advance our propulsion systems.

• Plan, manage and conduct hardware designs for avionics modules from concept to test: capture requirements, architecture, schematic, component selection, PCB layout, manufacturing and bring-up etc.
• Create test plans, plan and support in Assembly integration and test of propulsion hardware. Harnessing and running bench tests on PCBs. Validate at module and system level, document results.
• Manage electronics and avionics projects and the development of ISPTech’s avionics lab.
• Plan, develop and build prototypes, manage and conduct design reviews, and reengineer existing boards for reliability, manufacturability and performance.
• Integrate hardware, firmware and software, define and maintain ICDs, support propulsion system integration and testing.
• Apply relevant standards and best practices, design for EMC, signal/power integrity, derating and radiation mitigations appropriate to mission requirements.
