About the role
We are seeking an experienced Avionics Specialist to perform deep-dive analysis and advanced troubleshooting of complex avionics and electronic systems.
Key Responsibilities
- Perform in-depth, component level analysis and troubleshooting of avionics and electronic systems
- Conduct board-level Fourier analysis (FFT/spectral analysis) and signal integrity evaluations using advanced test equipment to diagnose complex, intermittent, or elusive faults
- Validate and verify electronic components, circuits, and assemblies for performance, reliability, and specification compliance
- Provide detailed technical findings, root cause analysis, and recommendations to the design team after verification
- Review and validate proposed component selections and design changes prior to formal design handoff
- Utilize high-end diagnostic tools including oscilloscopes (with FFT functions), spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers, and signal generators
- Document all analysis, test results, measurements, and findings with high accuracy for engineering review and regulatory compliance
- Support root cause corrective action (RCCA) processes for recurring avionics issues
- Collaborate closely with design engineers to ensure smooth transition from troubleshooting/verification to design phase
Required Qualifications
- Minimum of 2 years of hands-on experience in avionics/electronics troubleshooting and repair with strong emphasis on board-level and component-level diagnostics
- Demonstrated expertise in board-level Fourier analysis and advanced signal analysis techniques
- Proficiency with sophisticated test equipment: oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers, and related tools
- Solid understanding of analog/digital circuits, RF systems, power electronics, and avionics architectures
- Strong ability to interpret schematics, technical manuals, and wiring diagrams
Preferred Qualifications
- AS or AAS degree in Electrical Engineering/Technology
- Avionics/Electrical lab testing experience
- Experience supporting both maintenance and engineering/design teams in an aviation environment
- Background in aircraft modification or STC projects
