About the role
- CX2's AI-enabled hardware and software platforms detect, disrupt and defend the electromagnetic spectrum across land, air, sea and space domains.
- They are comfortable working directly with avionics hardware, electrical systems, Linux-based computers, embedded devices, and networked systems, and can independently diagnose issues at the component, subsystem, and UAS levels.
- The ideal candidate is the engineer everyone calls when the aircraft isn't working.
Responsibilities
- Perform system bring-up, troubleshooting, and validation of partial and complete avionics systems.
- Support hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), ground, and flight test activities, including test execution, data collection, and root-cause analysis.
- Configure and maintain Linux-based systems, mission computers, embedded devices, and network infrastructure.
- Support aircraft electrical system integration, wiring verification, power distribution validation, and interface troubleshooting.
- Develop and execute integration procedures, test plans, and verification activities.
- Create technical documentation including integration procedures, test reports, and troubleshooting guides.
- They can connect to a Linux box, inspect logs, troubleshoot network traffic, validate electrical interfaces, isolate failing hardware, and methodically work through integration issues until the system is operational.
- We build AI-enabled hardware and software platforms to detect, disrupt, and defend the electromagnetic spectrum across land, air, sea, and space.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
- 5+ years of experience in avionics integration, aerospace systems engineering, flight test, or related disciplines.
- Strong understanding of aircraft electrical systems, avionics architectures, and system integration practices.
- Hands-on experience troubleshooting hardware, electrical, networking, and software issues in complex systems.
- Proficiency using Linux from the command line for system configuration, diagnostics, log analysis, and networking tasks.
- Experience with IP networking concepts, including Ethernet, TCP/IP, routing, switching, VLANs, firewalls, and network troubleshooting.
- Experience with avionics communication protocols such as CAN, MAVLink, ARINC 429, RS-232/422/485, Ethernet, or MIL-STD-1553.
- Experience operating laboratory test equipment and conducting structured integration testing.
- Strong troubleshooting mindset with the ability to isolate issues across hardware, software, networking, and avionics domains.
- Experience with unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), autonomous systems, defense programs, or military aviation.
