Avionics Engineer

Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced Aircraft Avionics Engineer to support aircraft modification, engineering, and certification-related activities. This individual will work with aircraft electrical and avionics systems, evaluate existing aircraft configurations and installed equipment, and develop technical documentation and engineering instructions supporting aircraft modifications.

The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with aircraft avionics systems, including Autopilot, Communications, Indication, Navigation, Information, and related aircraft electrical systems.

This position requires someone who understands how aircraft systems are configured, how modifications are implemented, and how engineering documentation is developed, revised, and approved. Candidates must be comfortable working with aircraft technical manuals, maintenance documentation, regulatory requirements, and engineering deviations.

Airbus experience is highly preferred.

This is a specialized aviation engineering opportunity, so candidates must have actual aircraft experience. General electrical, mechanical, robotics, PLC, or industrial automation experience alone will not meet the requirements.

Key Responsibilities

Aircraft Avionics & Electrical Systems

• Support aircraft avionics and electrical engineering activities.

• Evaluate existing aircraft configurations, installed equipment, and avionics system layouts.

• Work with aircraft systems such as:

  • Autopilot systems

  • Communication systems

  • Indication systems

  • Navigation systems

  • Information systems

  • Other aircraft electrical and avionics systems.

• Review aircraft configurations and determine the engineering requirements associated with equipment changes and modifications.

Aircraft Modifications & Engineering Documentation

• Author, develop, revise, and maintain aircraft modification instructions.

• Create and update technical engineering instructions for aircraft modifications.

• Review and correct existing aircraft maintenance and engineering instructions.

• Develop documentation supporting aircraft configuration changes and equipment installations.

• Manage aircraft modification projects from engineering development through implementation.

• Create, review, and approve One-Time Engineering Deviations (OTEDs) or equivalent engineering deviation documentation.

• Ensure technical instructions are accurate, complete, and aligned with applicable aircraft requirements.

Engineering Compliance & Technical Manuals

Candidates must have working knowledge of applicable aviation regulations and aircraft maintenance documentation, including:

Acronym	Meaning
CFRs	Code of Federal Regulations
WDM	Wiring Diagram Manual
AMM	Aircraft Maintenance Manual
IPC	Illustrated Parts Catalog
FIM	Fault Isolation Manual
TSM	Troubleshooting Manual
CMM	Component Maintenance Manual

• Interpret aircraft technical documentation and engineering requirements.

• Ensure modifications and engineering instructions comply with applicable regulatory and maintenance requirements.

• Review aircraft wiring diagrams, maintenance procedures, troubleshooting instructions, and component documentation.

• Support engineering reviews and documentation approvals.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering required, OR an Associate's degree in Engineering with equivalent relevant professional experience.

• Direct experience working with aircraft avionics and electrical systems.

• Experience authoring, revising, and developing aircraft modification instructions.

• Experience managing aircraft modification engineering projects.

• Experience creating and approving One-Time Engineering Deviations or equivalent engineering deviation documents.

• Knowledge of aircraft technical manuals, including WDM, AMM, IPC, FIM, TSM, and CMM.

• Knowledge of CFRs and aircraft maintenance programs.

• Ability to evaluate aircraft configurations and installed equipment.

• Strong technical writing, documentation, and communication skills.

Highly Preferred Qualifications

• Airbus aircraft experience.

• Commercial aviation or aircraft maintenance engineering background.

• Aircraft modification and certification engineering experience.

• Experience with aircraft electrical and avionics system integration.

• Experience developing engineering orders, modification packages, technical instructions, and deviation documentation.
