You will manage requirement flow-down to various components while coordinating cross-functional efforts across software, hardware, test, and reliability teams. Key technical competencies include networking fundamentals such as IP addressing, Ethernet, VLANs, switching, and routing. Specific expertise in Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) technologies like IEEE 802.1AS, ARINC A664, and ARINC 615A is preferred. You will utilize tools including Cameo, Teamwork Cloud, IBM DOORS, and RTC/EWM to solve complex problems regarding avionics network switch and communication system development for next-generation aircraft systems.

What you'll do

  • Lead systems engineering activities for the Networking product line to ensure performance, deterministic behavior, and operational robustness.
  • Define, decompose, and manage traceable system requirements for advanced avionics networking like TSN and ARINC standards.
  • Manage requirement flow-down and allocation across modules, components, subcontractors, and partner teams.
  • Drive system and component verification and validation by developing strategies and gathering supporting evidence.
  • Lead product integration activities to ensure compatibility and performance across multidisciplinary development teams.
  • Support certification strategy and execution for safety-critical programs including audits, reviews, and finding closures.
  • Manage interfaces between subsystems, suppliers, and customers to ensure alignment on requirements and compliance.
  • Conduct trade studies and risk identification to support quality, schedule, and cost commitments.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Aerospace, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or another related STEM field.
  • Minimum of 4 years of experience in systems design, development, integration, verification, or validation.
  • Strong understanding of networking fundamentals including IP addressing, Ethernet, VLANs, switching, routing, and network topology.
  • U.S. citizenship status is required.
  • Ability to meet U.S. Person requirements for access to export-controlled information.
  • Experience with Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) technologies, ARINC A664, or ARINC 615A (preferred).
  • Knowledge of Ethernet and networking protocols such as QoS, NTP, DHCP, FTP/TFTP/SNMP, SSH, and IPSec (preferred).
  • Familiarity with engineering tools like Cameo, Teamwork Cloud, IBM DOORS, or RTC/EWM (preferred).
