Aviation Electronic Hardware Engineer

Your Role

As an Electronic Hardware Engineer, you will contribute to the design, development, and verification of Electronic Control Board Assemblies (ECBA), with a focus on Battery Modules for next-generation Energy Storage Systems (ESS).

Working within a multi-disciplinary team, you will operate under the EASA Part-21J Design Organization (DO) framework and adhere to the rigorous standards of safety-critical development (e.g., DO-254, DO-160, CS-23). This position is ideal for an engineer with a passion for innovation, precision, and compliance in high-reliability systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Schematic & Layout Design:
  • Design and simulate mixed-signal circuits (analog/digital, HV/LV, temperature, current sensing)
  • Integrate input protections, EMI/ESD filters, and power supply blocks (e.g., DC/DC converters)
  • Include digital communication protocols (CAN, RS485, RS232) and microcontrollers (MCU-based systems)
  • Develop complete schematics and layout using Altium Designer or equivalent ECAD tools (DWG, GBR, SCH, PcB, PnP,…)
  • Specialized within Analog is a plus
• Documentation & Compliance:
  • Produce detailed Design Descriptions, calculations (FMEA; MTBF), and analysis reports (ASR)
  • Maintain traceability and version control of all engineering data per DO-254 guidelines
• Testing & Integration:
  • Author and execute Qualification Test Plans (QTP) and Verification Test Procedures (VTP)
  • Perform debugging, de-risking, and integration of PCBs at the module and system level
  • Support the development of test benches and define Acceptance Test Procedures (ATP)
  • Conduct environmental and functional testing in accordance with RTCA/DO-160
• Process Rigor:
  • Ensure adherence to internal and regulatory processes for configuration management, safety, and documentation
  • Maintain high-quality standards through structured peer reviews, checklists, and change control
