Avionics Hardware Design Engineer

Quick Facts

• Role: Avionics Hardware Design Engineer

• Onsite requirement: U.S. Person only; work onsite in Melbourne, Florida or Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Description

You will run the avionics circuit card design lifecycle—from requirements capture and schematic capture through signal integrity analysis, board stackup/routing guidance, and coordination of PCB layout. You will design and analyze analog and RF circuits and digital circuitry (processors, memory, FPGA devices, and interfaces like Ethernet, I2C, SPI, and UART), then validate performance through bench testing and characterization. You’ll also create and execute test plans, perform root cause analysis on defects, support product integration, and manage parts obsolescence for assigned products.

Responsibilities

• Execute circuit card design lifecycle: requirements capture, schematic capture, design documentation, signal integrity analysis, board stackup and routing instructions, and PCB layout coordination/review

• Design and simulate analog and RF circuits using schematic capture and performance simulation tools

• Design digital circuits including processors, memory, FPGA devices, and interfaces (Ethernet, I2C, SPI, UART); assess throughput, timing, and capacity

• Characterize analog/RF signals on the bench using oscilloscopes, network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and signal generators

• Create and execute test plans; perform root cause analysis on defects; support product integration

• Manage parts obsolescence and drive resolution for assigned products

• Collaborate across systems, software, mechanical, and test engineering teams

Requirements

• U.S. Person status; willingness to work onsite in Melbourne, Florida or Cedar Rapids, Iowa

• Proficiency with schematic capture and printed circuit board layout using Siemens Xpedition, Altium, Cadence Allegro, or an equivalent ECAD tool

• Proven analog, digital, or RF board-level circuit design experience with hands-on troubleshooting

• Bench instrumentation fluency with oscilloscope, digital multimeter, network analyzer, spectrum analyzer, and power meter

• Signal integrity analysis and ability to define board stackup

• STEM degree

• Experience level aligned with role: 2+ years (mid), 5+ years (senior), 8+ years (principal)
