Job Description:
Will be responsible for integrating complex systems in a dynamic, fast-paced environment, specifically within the realms of networking and platform systems integration. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure the seamless integration of hardware and software solutions, delivering high-performance systems. The ideal candidate will have experience in networking and integrating aircraft systems, as well as a strong technical background in troubleshooting and system optimization.
Key Responsibilities:
- Systems Integration: Design, implement, and troubleshoot systems integrations for both networking and aircraft subsystems.
- Networking Expertise: Collaborate with the networking team to design and implement reliable and secure network communications for aircraft systems, ensuring optimal data transfer and performance.
- Platform
Integration: Work with the aircraft integration team to ensure the proper functioning of avionics and mission-critical systems within the aircraft.
- Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration: Collaborate with various engineering teams to ensure that all systems components are correctly integrated and satisfy system requirements.
- Testing & Validation: Conduct rigorous integration testing, validation, and verification to ensure systems meet performance, reliability, and safety standards.
- Troubleshooting & Problem Solving: Investigate and resolve integration issues that arise during development or post-deployment, providing solutions and support to engineering teams.
- Documentation: Prepare technical documentation to support software development, system integration, configuration, and validation processes.
- Continuous Improvement: Contribute to the development of best practices and processes for integration to improve efficiency and reduce risks.
Work Environment:
- Office or lab-based, with occasional travel (up to 25%) to customer or test sites as needed.
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field. Master’s degree is a plus.
Experience:
- 3+ years of experience in systems integration, with a focus on networking and aircraft systems.
- Experience with avionics, flight control systems, or mission systems integration in aircraft.
- Experience working with Linux Operating Systems.
- Solid understanding of network protocols (TCP/IP, UDP, etc.) and how they apply to real-time aircraft communication systems.
- Familiarity with industry standards and regulations related to aircraft/ground systems integration.
Skills:
- Proficiency in systems integration tools and techniques.
- Hands-on experience with network configuration, troubleshooting, and diagnostics.
- Familiarity with embedded systems and software integration.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Excellent communication skills to collaborate with technical teams and provide status updates.
- Ability to work in a team-oriented environment and manage multiple priorities.
Preferred:
- Experience with specific communication protocols (1553, UART, etc.).
- Knowledge of systems like radios, GPS, IFF, and other airborne mission systems.
- Familiarity with simulation tools used in aircraft integration.
- Knowledge of aircraft safety protocols and standards.
- Experience working in an Agile development environment.
