- Own all interfaces of your product across its lifecycle, from design to manufacturing to verification and integration, including all technical and programmatic interfaces
- Carry out the full electrical design cycle for PCBAs including component selection, schematic capture, layout and design verification
- Take on unit‑level tasks for your products including requirement management, design, reliability analyses, qualification & acceptance testing, as well as troubleshooting analysis
- Conduct design reviews for your products and participate in system‑level design reviews
- Plan, execute, and evaluate verification, acceptance, and qualification tests at unit, subsystem, and vehicle level
- Develop test procedures and automated scripts for verifying unit functional and electrical performance under harsh operating conditions, such as thermal, vacuum, and vibration
- Capture interface requirements and design specifications for test equipment used in test campaigns of your products
- Actively participate in integrated testing & flight data reviews
- Collaborate on ad‑hoc tasks related to Avionics PCBAs, units, and systems with your peers in the Avionics department
- Provide ad‑hoc mentoring to other engineers in a constructive manner
