About the role
We are seeking an Avionics Electrical Design Engineer specializing in schematic design and PCB/board layout for airborne electronics. The engineer will be responsible for electrical design, circuit development, PCB layout, EMI/EMC considerations, simulation, testing, and compliance with aerospace standards.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and review electrical schematics and circuit designs for avionics systems.
- Design RF/electrical circuits, including power amplifiers, LNAs, filters, and related interfaces.
- Perform PCB layout, including high-speed PCB design, signal integrity, and power integrity considerations.
- Apply EMI/EMC design practices throughout schematic and PCB development.
- Conduct circuit analysis and simulations using MATLAB, SPICE, ADS, HFSS, or equivalent tools.
- Support design verification, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis of electrical/PCB issues.
- Perform and support environmental, RF emissions, RF susceptibility, and lightning testing.
- Ensure designs comply with relevant aerospace and airborne hardware standards, including DO-160 and DO-254.
- Work with test equipment such as network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and oscilloscopes.
- Collaborate with systems, embedded, mechanical, manufacturing, and verification teams.
- Support design reviews, documentation, qualification, and production release activities.
Requirements
- 5-12 years of relevant electrical or RF design experience.
- Strong RF design experience.
- Hands-on experience with schematic capture and PCB or board layout for aerospace or avionics electronics.
- Experience taking hardware designs from concept through schematic design, PCB layout, prototyping, testing, and qualification.
- Experience troubleshooting electrical circuits or PCB issues.
- Experience using MATLAB, SPICE, ADS, HFSS, or equivalent tools for circuit analysis and simulation.
- Strong understanding of high-speed, RF, EMI/EMC, and signal-integrity design principles.
- Eligibility to work in the United States.
