Job summary

Swarm Aero is building autonomous UAV swarms that operate in contested environments. We seek an avionics/electrical engineer to integrate and validate aircraft electrical systems from first flight to mass production.

You will design power distribution, harness routing, and interfaces, and collaborate across mechanical, structures, and systems teams to meet EMI/EMC and grounding requirements. You will own wiring diagrams, ICDs, and flight test support, with 3+ years of hands-on experience on

Qualifications

• 3+ years avionics or aircraft electrical engineering experience on aerospace, defense, or UAS platforms.
• Hands-on experience with aircraft electrical system design including power distribution, wire harness design, and load analysis.
• Strong familiarity with aerospace connector families, cable families, and aerospace wiring practices.
• Proficiency with wiring harness design tools such as Zuken, Capital, Artifact, or equivalent.
• Proficiency with cable routing tools such as SolidWorks Electrical, CATIA Electrical, NX Electrical, CreoParametric, or equivalent.
• Experience taking avionics or electrical systems from design through hardware integration and flight test.
• Comfortable working across hardware, software, and test disciplines in a fast-moving environment.
• US person status required; active security clearance a plus.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop aircraft electrical systems including power distribution, wire harness routing, connector selection, and load analysis.
• Work with the mechanical team to integrate avionics devices and cabling into the airframe by specifying or creating necessary mounts, brackets, and shelving.
• Define avionics interface requirements and integration approach for avionics routed systems.
• Develop and maintain electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and ICDs using appropriate design tools.
• Collaborate with structures, mechanical, and systems engineering teams to ensure electrical routing, grounding, shielding, and EMI/EMC requirements are met.
• Support flight test anomaly investigation and drive root cause analysis on avionics and electrical faults.
• Contribute to airworthiness documentation and flight authorization packages.
