Senior Avionics Engineer
Poseidon Aerospace, Alameda
The role
Avionics is the electrical and electronic hardware on our cargo aircraft, its mission systems, and the ground control station that operates it. As a Senior Avionics Engineer you will own that architecture. You will decide how the aircraft is powered, what computers and actuators it flies with, how its systems communicate, and how it behaves when hardware fails. You will carry those decisions through design, build, qualification, and flight test, and set the technical bar for the engineers around you.
What you will do
- Own the electrical and avionics architecture of the aircraft, mission systems, and ground control station, including redundancy and failure behavior
- Define the power system architecture, including generation, storage, distribution, and protection, and own the electrical load analysis
- Lead selection and qualification of flight computers, mission computers, actuators, sensors, radios, and datalinks
