Lead Avionics Architect: Flight Electronics & Power

Destinus; Madrid; Presencial; EUR 90.000 - 130.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Destinus is seeking an experienced avionics engineer to define the avionics architecture for a high-performance exo-atmospheric interceptor. You will own the flight computer, power system, and electrical architecture, integrating sensing, navigation, propulsion, and control hardware into a cohesive system.

You will collaborate with GNC, propulsion, mechanical, and software teams to ensure interfaces are robust, reliable, and qualified under strict flight and storage conditions.

Formación

• BSc, MSc, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
• 10+ years of experience designing and integrating avionics or flight electronics for missiles, spacecraft, aircraft, or comparable systems.
• Hands-on experience with flight computers and power-system hardware from design or procurement through integration and testing.
• Practical experience integrating sensors, actuators, electronics, and other subsystems into a complete vehicle.
• Strong understanding of electrical interfaces and mass, volume, and power budgets.
• Nice to Have: embedded software experience, EMC qualification, and long‑term storage/canister-life considerations.

Responsabilidades

• Own the avionics architecture, including the flight computer, power system, and overall electrical architecture within constraints.
• Design or procure flight electronics and integrate sensing, navigation, propulsion, and control hardware into a complete electrical system.
• Specify and integrate the electronics supporting the vehicle’s navigation systems.
• Size and manage the power system and define electrical interfaces between vehicle subsystems, ground systems, and launch equipment.
• Plan and execute avionics integration, interface, environmental, and qualification testing, analysing results against requirements.
• Work across GNC, mechanical, propulsion, and software teams to resolve interfaces and drive vehicle‑level integration.
