We are seeking a motivated hands-on Entry-Level Systems Integration & Avionics Engineer to support a broad range of maintenance integration inspection and troubleshooting activities for small airborne missiles unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and payload effectors. This role supports avionics instrument systems and related airborne electronics in a fast-paced prototype development environment.
This position offers hands-on varied work across avionics integration system assembly testing maintenance mission support and field operations. Successful prototype programs frequently transition to production where the Systems Integration Engineer supports production transition activities such as tooling development assembly processes and work instruction creation. Once systems are fielded the engineer may also support sustainment end-user technical assistance and training.
The ideal candidate is an early-career engineer who applies strong foundational engineering knowledge curiosity and a willingness to learn to influence design and integration decisions under mentorship from senior engineers. This role is a core contributor within a multi-disciplinary rapid prototype team offering significant exposure to real-world airborne systems early in a career.
In addition to technical integration responsibilities the candidate may be required to support operational crew functions such as assisting with crew chief duties UAS or launcher maintenance and operations and participation in prototype evaluations as mission needs evolve.
Key Responsibilities
- Support the design and integration of prototype airborne systems as part of a multi-disciplinary engineering team.
- Assist with integration of avionics sensors and control systems into UAS or airborne platforms including installation wiring mounting configuration documentation and functional testing.
