About the Company
Chatsworth - California (Onsite) WFO 100%
About the Role
Design and develop electronic hardware, including analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuits, power electronics, microcontroller-based systems, and electro-mechanical interfaces.
Responsibilities
Develop, modify, and maintain embedded software/firmware to support electronic designs, including device drivers, control algorithms, communication interfaces, and test/debug utilities.
Generate and maintain engineering documentation including schematics, PCB layouts, bills of materials (BOMs), design analyses, and interface control documents.
Review and release printed circuit board fabrication and assembly files (e.g., Gerber files) for completeness and manufacturability.
Support the introduction of new and adopted designs into Factory New (FN) and MRO manufacturing environments, collaborating with Manufacturing Engineering to ensure producibility and testability.
Develop or support development of test methods, test procedures, and automated or semi-automated test equipment, including software-based test solutions.
Address component and system obsolescence by identifying qualified replacements and redesigning hardware and/or software as required to maintain form, fit, and function.
Participate in drawing change processes (ECRs, ECNs) and configuration control activities.
Provide technical support to Production, Quality, Supply Chain, Customer Service, and Sales as needed.
Assist Purchasing in resolving supplier technical issues, component selection, and specification interpretation.
Perform technical reviews of RFQs, purchase orders, and externally supplied designs.
Participate in material review board (MRB) activities related to electronic and electro-mechanical products.
Mentor and guide junior engineers and support cross-training initiatives within the engineering team.
Participate in concurrent engineering activities and cross-functional design reviews.
Support technical evaluation of electronic and electro-mechanical products for potential licensing.
Participate in management, program, and engineering meetings as required.
Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Electronics Engineer, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
Minimum 7+ years of experience in aerospace or high-reliability electronics design
Required Skills
Strong knowledge of electronic hardware design, including schematic capture, PCB layout oversight, component selection, and design for manufacturability/test
Demonstrated experience in embedded software or firmware development, including C/C++ or equivalent languages for microcontrollers or processors
Proficiency in reading and developing circuit schematics (analog, digital, microcontrollers, power circuits).
Working knowledge of electronic assembly and workmanship standards including IPC-A-610 and J-STD-001 (Class 3 preferred)
Experience with test and measurement systems; familiarity with NI LabVIEW, PXI systems, or similar test software environments desirable
Understanding of aerospace materials, processes, environmental requirements, and regulatory considerations
Knowledge of configuration management, drawing practices, and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T)
Experience with FAA Repair Station procedures and regulations preferred
Strong analytical, problem-solving, and troubleshooting skills across both hardware and software domains
Ability to communicate effectively and produce clear, concise technical documentation
Project management and task-prioritization skills in a fast-paced engineering environment
Preferred Skills
None specified
Pay range and compensation package
None specified
Equal Opportunity Statement
