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.
