Qualifications

• Minimum of a B.S. degree in electrical, mechanical, or aerospace engineering.
• Minimum of 5 years of experience in avionics systems design, aerospace preferred.
• Strong understanding of signal integrity, power distribution, embedded systems, feedback controlled logics, communications, actuators, sensors, cabling and embedded system interfaces.
• Experience translating system/functional requirements into software logic and state machine architectures, including defining operational states, transitions, and fault detection/response behavior for embedded flight software.
• Create and modify 3D models in Creo of mechanical Avionics components, assemblies, and installations.
• Experience with PCB schematic design and layout for avionics components, following aerospace standards.
• Hands-on experience designing, developing, and troubleshooting avionics hardware with equipment such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers, and environmental test equipment.

Responsibilities

• Develop & manage Mechanisms Avionics specifications and requirements (at subsystem and component-levels)
• Develop & manage Mechanisms Avionics interfaces, Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and models (in collaboration with adjacent IPTs)
• Decompose requirements from system and subsystem-levels into lower-level requirements
• Mentor early-career Mechanisms & Avionics Systems Engineers on the Lunar Program
• Standardize Mechanisms Systems Engineering approaches
• Own the verification and validation of Mechanisms Avionics requirements, in collaboration with the Mechanisms test engineers
• Perform traceability analysis of requirements to higher levels, and to verification activities
• Develop Fault Detection, Isolation and Recovery (FDIR) schemes for complex safety-critical electromechanical systems
• Lead trade studies across the Avionics & Mechanisms IPTs
• Serve as the Mechanism Avionics point-of-contact for other IPTs
• Utilize Systems Engineering tools such as Jama, Windchill and Cameo
• Support and present at major gated reviews design reviews, readiness reviews, etc.
• Develop & verify safety-critical aviation requirements? (derived from text)
