• Support safety analyses (SSA, FMEA/FMES) and compliance with applicable aerospace/defense regulations (e.g., DO-178C, DO-254, ARP4754A, ARP4761).
• Collaborate across software and hardware engineering teams during design and testing phases.
• Provide documentation and support for certification authorities (FAA/EASA).
• Participate in technical design reviews, audits, and interchange meetings.
Basic Qualifications:
• Bachelor’s degree in systems engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical/Computer Engineering, or related technical field.
