5. Technical Documentation & Reporting

Generate and maintain

engineering documentation

, drawings, wiring harness layouts, and design data packages.

Prepare

system test reports, technical presentations, and progress updates

for internal and external stakeholders.

Maintain configuration control and contribute to

design reviews (PDR, CDR)

and system readiness assessments.

6. Research & Innovation

Evaluate emerging technologies in

avionics hardware, sensors, AI-based flight systems, and autonomous navigation

.

Drive initiatives to

modernize and optimize avionics systems

, enhancing system performance and reducing cost or weight.

Collaborate with R&D teams to integrate new technologies such as

GNSS-denied navigation, advanced autopilot algorithms, or AI-based fault detection

.

7. Leadership & Mentorship

Provide

technical leadership

and mentorship to junior and mid-level engineers in design, analysis, and testing activities.

Review team deliverables for accuracy, compliance, and quality assurance.

Lead

cross-functional collaboration

between design, production, software, and certification teams to meet project milestones.

Participate in

supplier selection, evaluation, and technical review

for avionics components and systems.

8. Support to Manufacturing & Field Operations

Collaborate with the production and maintenance teams to ensure manufacturability, maintainability, and ease of integration.

Provide

technical support during installation, troubleshooting, and field service

activities.

Review and approve

engineering change requests (ECRs)

and manage configuration control throughout product lifecycle.

Qualifications & Experience:

Bachelor's or Master's degree

in Avionics Engineering, Electronics, Electrical, or Aerospace Engineering.
