Simulation & Test Electrical Design Engineer

Job Purpose

The Simulation & Test Electrical Design Engineer will work in our Advanced Systems Integration Test Facility (ASITF) and be responsible for authoring and maintaining electrical drawings for new Avionics & Electrical systems and associated components, which include Avionics data busses, power systems, sensors and analog and digital I/O. Responsibilities also include design and troubleshooting of test simulation hardware and wire harnesses for the facility. These designs will include test and simulation interfaces to capture and/or simulate either actual aircraft hardware or models in the loop. These facilities support the design, development integration, certification, and support of aircraft avionics, electrical and electronic systems. Designs, develops, coordinates, equipment, and Installations, to support Test operations. Creates engineering drawings and related documents for soundness, efficiency, and simplicity in design; completeness, clarity, and dimensional accuracy; correctness of materials and processes; conformity to design/drafting standards, design specifications, and practicability; and economy of fabrication, assembly, and installation. Independently applies engineering principles and professional judgment to develop technical solutions, perform analyses, make design decisions, and resolve complex problems with minimal supervision.

Key Accountabilities

• Develop and implement electrical integration and test solutions for ASITF.
• Applies engineering principles and independent judgment to evaluate, develop, and implement solutions for complex technical issues affecting electrical system design, documentation, procurement, fabrication, installation, and test integration activities
• Document engineering analyses, technical decisions, design solutions, and project activities to support system integration, certification, configuration management, and continuous improvement initiatives.

Qualifications, Experience, and Skills

• Bachelor’s of Science in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, or similar, or relevant ASITF or aircraft experience at least 5-10 years
• Minimum Experience Degree or 5-10 years directly related experience with aircraft systems test, wiring design, and advanced troubleshooting.
