Job description

• Design, analyze, and integrate avionics electronic hardware, circuit card assemblies, and electrical interfaces for aerospace and defense systems requiring high reliability and rigorous verification. • Develop schematics and perform detailed circuit, signal, power distribution, loading, transient, and interface analyses using PSpice or equivalent electrical modeling and simulation tools. • Develop electrical models that predict circuit and interface behavior across operating conditions, component tolerances, loads, power states, and system-level electrical environments. • Lead hardware troubleshooting, design verification, laboratory integration, and root-cause analysis for analog, digital, mixed-signal, power, and embedded avionics electronics. • Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to mature avionics hardware from requirements and analysis through design, prototype, integration, qualification, and technical data delivery. • Develop and review detailed schematics, component selections, interface circuits, grounding approaches, power architectures, and electrical design documentation for avionics hardware. • Perform PSpice or equivalent simulations and develop circuit, signal integrity, power distribution, loading, transient, tolerance, and worst-case electrical models and analyses. • Analyze aircraft and subsystem electrical interfaces, including voltage/current margins, grounding, impedance, noise, transients, power quality, distribution, and signal behavior. • Support prototype bring-up, bench testing, HIL/SIL integration, troubleshooting, failure analysis, and verification of circuit card assemblies and avionics electronic subsystems. • Work with systems, software, firmware, mechanical, test, manufacturing, and qualification engineers to resolve integration issues and ensure hardware meets performance requirements. • Requires a Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering. Advanced training or graduate study in electronics, signal integrity, power electronics, embedded systems, controls, or avionics is preferred. • 5+ years: Progressive electrical engineering experience designing, analyzing, integrating, and testing electronic hardware, preferably for aerospace, defense, or other high-reliability systems. • 4+ years: Hands-on schematic development and circuit analysis experience covering analog, digital, mixed-signal, power, interface, protection, and embedded electronic designs. • 4 years: Using PSpice, SPICE, or equivalent tools to model and analyze circuits, electrical signals, loads, power distribution, transients, tolerances, and system/interface behavior. • 4+ years: Avionics or aerospace electronics experience involving aircraft electrical interfaces, embedded hardware, laboratory integration, troubleshooting, verification, or qualification. • A valid/clear driver's license is required. Considerations: Work assignment is in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Applicant selected will be subject to a government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information. Applicant must be a U.S. citizen.
