Description

You'll integrate avionics systems on developmental UAVs, working closely with engineers to turn schematics into flying hardware, troubleshoot novel problems, and help define how aircraft come together. This role involves installing, testing, and troubleshooting avionics across the UAV fleet, supporting flight operations, and collaborating with engineering teams.

Requirements

• 5+ years of hands-on avionics installation, integration, or maintenance experience across multiple aircraft platforms
• Proficiency in wire harness fabrication, connector termination (D-sub, circular MIL, coax), and harness routing
• Strong working knowledge of electrical troubleshooting, schematics, and avionics system interdependencies
• Comfortable operating in a high-tempo environment across hangar, flight line, and lab settings
• Experience with UAV or UAS platforms is a plus, not a prerequisite -- we value broad aircraft exposure and sharp fundamentals

Responsibilities

• Install, integrate, and test avionics systems across our UAV fleet, including flight control, navigation, communication, and sensor payloads
• Fabricate, route, and terminate wire harnesses to engineering specifications and applicable standards (MIL-SPEC, AS50881, etc.)
• Read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and IPC/engineering drawings to execute installations and modifications
• Perform functional checkouts and ground testing of integrated avionics systems prior to flight
• Troubleshoot and resolve avionics and electrical faults using standard test equipment (oscilloscope, multimeter, CAN bus analyzers)
• Support flight line operations, including pre/post-flight system checks and rapid turnaround maintenance
• Collaborate directly with avionics and flight control engineers to work through integration challenges and feed lessons learned back into design
• Maintain accurate maintenance records, work orders, and configuration documentation
