Mission
As an Avionics Hardware Design Engineer of the Avionics Team, you will be responsible for all aspects of the hardware electronics design and development lifecycle, from high-level requirements collection to detailed design of the different subsystems and avionics components, providing support on manufacturing, assembly, and integration in launch vehicles.
Responsibilities Analyse and trace high-level avionics subsystem requirements to electrical and electronic specifications at unit and board levels.Manage and maintain avionics components requirements.Elaborate internal design criteria standards and rules for avionics hardware.Participate and collaborate concurrently to consolidate the architecture definition of Electrical Power Systems (EPS), On-Board Data Handling subsystems (OBDH), and flight instrumentation.Drive the design and development of launch vehicle electronics hardware such as flight computers, sensors acquisition units, power control and distribution systems, batteries, and actuation systems.Perform component-level architecture definition and detailed design, components selection, analysis, schematic capture, and board layout.Perform technical trade-off analyses (EEE components selection, technologies, architectures, schemes, topologies, etc.)
to make technical decisions.Conduct avionics hardware analyses to feed design-validation loops (single-point failure, FMEA, reliability, hazard analysis, thermal, radiation, etc.
).Perform circuit functional checks, debugging, troubleshooting, and confidence testing.Coordinate with a multidisciplinary team (software, firmware, mechanical, AIT, harness, production) to fulfill the quality, cost, and programmatic objectives.Drive improvements and perform investigations and trade studies to push avionics hardware design to new boundaries in terms of reliability, capabilities, mass, and cost savings.Documentation
Generate and release on schedule engineering documentation such as schematics, BOMs, production files, 3D models, drawings, ICDs, preliminary and detailed design documents, analysis and technical trade-off reports.
Document and communicate the design and analysis results thoroughly and clearly via design reviews.
Interfaces
Collaborate actively with the Supply Chain team to support all activities related to external developments, manufacturing, and procurement.
