Electronics Engineer (Aerospace)

The Electronics Engineer will be responsible for the research, analysis, design, development, testing, debugging and modification of electronics equipment such as VFMDs (Variable Frequency Motor Drives) for vacuum generators and air compressors (ACIM/BLDC), AC/DC Power Converters (3-Φ), 28V DC Valve Controllers, and W&W System Controllers for the commercial aerospace industry. The Electronics Engineer will take ownership and/or support technical engineering teams and projects related to W&W System Components. Using sound engineering principles, this engineer will interface with cross-functional groups (internal and external) to ensure robust, airworthy designs are attained, which meet budget, schedule, and internal requirements and goals. This leadership position will be responsible for participating in and leading improvement activities at a group and/or company level.
