• Assist with system integration, troubleshooting, and issue resolution in lab and development environments.

Required Qualifications

• Experience with one or more of the following tools/languages is a plus: Python, MATLAB/Simulink, Cameo, or similar engineering tools.

• Exposure to requirements development, verification, testing, or model-based engineering concepts.

• Hands-on experience with Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) at the system level is required

• Strong understanding of Avionics, aircraft Systems, and Subsystems.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience with full development cycles, Avionics certification, and a strong understanding of lifecycle activities and deliverables for Avionics programs.

• Experience working within regulatory environments, including DO-254, DO-160, DO-178B/C, DO-297, ARP4754A, and FAA/TCCA/EASA standards.

• Coursework or project experience related to systems engineering, embedded systems, software development, aerospace, or controls.

• Experience working on team-based technical projects, including design reviews, troubleshooting, or test execution.
