Associate Electrical Engineer

About the role

As an Associate Electrical Engineer within the Displays product line, you will support the development of advanced cockpit display systems for commercial, military, and rotorcraft aircraft. This responsibility spans concept generation, design, qualification, certification, and lifecycle management of mission-critical avionics display products. You will collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams, as well as operations and manufacturing, to develop and deliver innovative flight deck solutions that enhance pilot situational awareness and operational effectiveness.

In this role, you will support senior engineers in performing technical analysis, requirements development, documentation, hands-on testing, and simulation activities while contributing to electronic circuit design, display hardware development, system integration, and product improvement initiatives. You will gain exposure to the full product development lifecycle while working in a highly regulated environment focused on safety, quality, reliability, and certification compliance.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, analyze, and support digital, analog, and power circuitry for advanced avionics display systems.
• Design, analyze, and test circuits incorporating microprocessors, memory, graphics processors, Ethernet, SPI, I2C, PCIe, LVDS, DisplayPort, and other high-speed display and avionics interfaces.
• Support the integration of display electronics, backlighting systems, video processing hardware, and cockpit display assemblies.
• Support production and resolve factory-related issues impacting assigned display products.
• Generate and review electrical schematics; support and review PCB layouts (Altium preferred).
• Develop change impact analyses and support product lifecycle management initiatives, including obsolescence management, design-to-cost, component risk reduction, and design-for-manufacturability.
• Utilize electrical analysis and simulation tools to evaluate power distribution, signal integrity, thermal performance, and overall system reliability.
• Collaborate effectively across systems, software, mechanical, manufacturing, quality, and certification engineering teams.
• Interface directly with customers, suppliers, and internal stakeholders to understand technical issues and develop effective solutions.
• Support hands-on testing, integration, troubleshooting, and environmental qualification activities to validate design performance and compliance.
• Contribute to continuous improvement efforts supporting product reliability, manufacturability, and customer satisfaction.
• Perform other duties as assigned.
