About this role

The Senior Electrical / Avionics Integration Engineer supports airworthiness and avionics integration across airborne platforms. Platforms include rotary-wing, fixed-wing, ISR, and specialized mission aircraft. This position offers technical assessment and risk evaluation for modifications and instrumentation integration.

The engineer performs technical review and integration support for electrical and avionics modifications. Support extends to T2 engineering activities such as antenna relocation and instrumentation integration. Additional duties include developing engineering analyses and wiring diagrams for airworthiness impacts.

Work occurs in a fast-paced environment as part of a multi-disciplined engineering team. Coordination spans structures, systems safety, propulsion, and configuration management disciplines. The role serves as a technical interface with Government Chief Engineers and platform contractors.

The position supports airworthiness assessments, technical review boards, and flight release discussions. Engineering judgment is provided for integration-level activities within airworthiness boundaries. Other duties are performed as required to meet program needs.
