Job Title: Avionics Integration Engineer Location: Atlanta, GA 30332 Job Type: Full Time Hybrid Shift Schedule: Regular First Shift Salary: $96-190 K/year Summary: The Avionics Engineer defines and designs military avionic systems and systems-of-systems. Specifically, the Avionics Engineer develops integrated system-level designs, and hardware and software subsystems designs. These designs are associated to avionic functions such as navigation, tactical data links, electronic warfare, defensive countermeasures, intelligence, and integrated system functions like data fusion and resource management. These design efforts include integrating the avionics systems within the aircraft, aircraft-to-aircraft, and aircraft-to-ground systems The Avionics Engineer applies knowledge specific to aircraft such as safety (e.g. FAA standards), security, robustness, and performance. Additionally, the Avionics Engineer analyzes laboratory and flight test data for functionality and performance. The Avionics Engineer also provides expertise and technical leadership to programs and sponsors to achieve overall goals through the full development life cycle (i.e., requirements development to final delivery). Tools and methodologies used by the Avionics Engineer includes Model Based System Engineering, laboratory analysis hardware, software development environments, and Agile methodologies. Role & Responsibilities: Decompose, develop, and allocate requirements into system-of-systems performance design criteria. Collaborate to develop technical solutions and ensure products meet allocated requirements and design criteria as well as comply with military, safety, and security standards. Integrate and test system components in a laboratory or on-aircraft environment and analyze test data to determine if system requirements are met and identify deficiencies. Develop technical reports, test plans, memos, and diagrams detailing product or system attributes. Begin to participate in sponsor engagement contacts Integrate new capabilities and subsystems into military systems, including the design of inter-software interfaces, inter-subsystem interfaces (e.g., data, interconnects), aircraft to subsystem integration, pilot vehicle interface, and test/instrumentation systems integration. Serve as a technical expert on assigned projects and systems including keeping up to date on use models, system capabilities, system interfaces, engineering tools, and road maps for current and future updates. Isolate hardware and software component anomalies. Analyze flight and laboratory data to ensure system requirements are satisfied. Ensure that all technical work is developed to meet military, safety, and security standards. Design and manage the laboratory configurations for assigned projects. Lead small cross-discipline project teams. Required Minimum Qualifications: Must have active Secret Clearance. Experience developing complex, software-intensive, military or avionics systems using system engineering processes and methodologies. Experience designing/developing software-based systems that integrate multiple subsystems, and/or integrate multiple software applications and hardware. Experience integrating and troubleshooting systems to determine functional correctness, completeness, and/or effectiveness. Due to our research contracts with the U.S. federal government, candidates for this position must be U.S. Citizens. Preferred Qualifications: Experience technically leading multi-disciplined (System Engineers, Software Engineers, Test Engineer) project teams. Experience developing system design for Electronic Warfare systems. Experience processing and analyzing data with tools such as Python or R. Experience with avionic data buses (e.g., MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429, Ethernet, RS-422, etc.), tactical data links (e.g., Link-16), military radios, and open systems architecture frameworks (e.g., FACETM). Experience using Model-Based System Engineering (SysML) to design systems (e.g., use cases, behavior, interfaces, data models); Additional DoDAF experience is a plus. Experience working in a full-lifecycle agile and/or digital engineering environment. Experience supporting field tests to troubleshoot and solve problems. Experience designing secure and safe system solutions. Project/Unit Description: The Applied Systems Laboratory (ASL) Systems Integration Division (SID) supports systems integration, system design, and product development projects for the Department of Defense (DoD) manned and unmanned systems. SID research military systems specializing in avionics, electronic warfare, autonomous systems, intelligence systems, tactical communication/datalink systems; and live, virtual, constructive training solutions. The SID team's engineering roles include Systems Engineering, Algorithm Engineering, Datalink Engineering, and Embedded Software Engineering. Travel Requirements: 10% - 25% travel. Education and Length of Experience: 2-9 years of related experience with a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or any technical degree. 1-7 years of related experience with a Masters' degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or any technical degree. 1-4 years of related experience with a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or any technical degree.
