Avionics Electrical Design Engineer

Melbourne, FL Onsite Only

We are seeking an Avionics Electrical Design Engineer specializing in schematic design and PCB/board layout for airborne electronics. The engineer will be responsible for electrical design, circuit development, PCB layout, EMI/EMC considerations, simulation, testing, and compliance with aerospace standards.

Key Responsibilities

·         RF Design Exp is very much mandatory

·         Develop and review electrical schematics and circuit designs for avionics systems.

·         Design RF/electrical circuits, including power amplifiers, LNAs, filters, and related interfaces.

·         Perform PCB layout, including high-speed PCB design, signal integrity, and power integrity considerations.

·         Apply EMI/EMC design practices throughout schematic and PCB development.

·         Conduct circuit analysis and simulations using MATLAB, SPICE, ADS, HFSS, or equivalent tools.

·         Support design verification, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis of electrical/PCB issues.

·         Perform and support environmental, RF emissions, RF susceptibility, and lightning testing.

·         Ensure designs comply with relevant aerospace and airborne hardware standards, including DO-160 and DO-254.

·         Work with test equipment such as network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and oscilloscopes.

·         Collaborate with systems, embedded, mechanical, manufacturing, and verification teams.

·         Support design reviews, documentation, qualification, and production release activities.

Preferred Profile

·         Strong hands-on experience in schematic capture and PCB/board layout for aerospace/avionics electronics.

·         Understanding of high-speed, RF, EMI/EMC, and signal-integrity design principles.

·         Experience taking designs from concept → schematic → PCB layout → prototype → testing → qualification.

·         Strong troubleshooting, analytical, documentation, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
