Position: Avionics System Engineer
Job Type: Direct Hire, Permanent
Location: Hybrid in Atlanta, GA
Salary Range: $138,510-$192,900 per year annual salary
Exact compensation may vary based on several factors, including skills, experience, and education.
The Avionics Engineer defines and designs military avionic systems and systems-of-systems. Specifically, the Avionics Engineer designs complex, software-intensive manned and unmanned systems to perform functions such as electronic warfare, sensor integration, ISR, embedded training, tactical data links and defensive countermeasures.
Required Minimum Qualifications
- 9 years of related experience with a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, any technical degree OR 7 years of related experience with a Masters’ degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, any technical degree.
- Experience developing complex, software-intensive, military or avionics systems using system engineering processes and methodologies.
- Experience designing/developing software-based systems that integrate multiple subsystems, and/or integrate multiple software applications and hardware.
- Experience with Modular Open System Approach (MOSA).
- Experience integrating and troubleshooting systems to determine functional correctness, completeness, and/or effectiveness.
- Experience leading project development teams.
Preferred Qualifications
- Active Secret Clearance (must be eligible to obtain a clearance)
- Experience developing system design for Electronic Warfare systems.
- Experience processing and analyzing data with tools such as Python or R.
- Experience with avionic data buses (e.g., MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429, Ethernet, RS-422, etc.), tactical data links (e.g., Link-16), military radios, and open systems architecture frameworks (e.g., FACETM).
- Experience using Model-Based System Engineering (SysML) to design systems (e.g., use cases, behavior, interfaces, data models); Additional DoDAF experience is a plus.
- Experience working in a full-lifecycle agile and/or digital engineering environment.
- Experience supporting field tests to troubleshoot and solve problems.
- Experience designing secure and safe system solutions.
- Experience developing/designing complex, software-intensive, military unmanned air systems (UAS) using system engineering processes and methodologies.
- Knowledge of the operational use models of military UAS.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage all technical aspects of product or system design including directing multiple lab resources for large scale product or system deployments.
- Manage sub-contractor resources supporting all system engineering areas (e.g., definition, requirements analysis, synthesis, systems analysis, and implementation).
- Conduct product or system design synthesis, translating requirements into physical architectures for systems of high complexity.
- Define/refine internal and external system interfaces.
- Support development of product strategy and execution.
- Develop and review technical reports, specifications, test plans, memos, and diagrams detailing product or system attributes.
- Lead medium-to-large project tasks and/or small programs and provide technical status and plans to Project Director.
- Serve as a resource and Subject Matter Expert (SME) for avionics engineering tools and technologies.
- Significantly contribute to whitepapers and proposals.
