Job Title: Subject Matter Expert - Avionics Engineer
Location: Onsite - Dayton, OH
Clearance Required: Active TS/SCI
Employment Type: Full-time
Hiring a Subject Matter Expert (SME) Avionics Engineer to support the Phalanx Griffon (PG) program - an open architecture airborne node that delivers real-time, decision-quality data at the tactical edge. You will serve as the technical authority for avionics integration of Nomad chassis, crypto devices, SATCOM, and OMS/UCI middleware across diverse military platforms. This position spans architecture definition through lab integration and flight test support.
Essential Job Functions:
Architecture & Design Authority
• Define avionics integration schemes that marry Nomad VPX hardware with platform data buses (MIL-STD-1553, ARINC-429/664, Ethernet TSN) and mission computers.
• Develop interface-control documents (ICDs), signal-flow diagrams, and timing budgets; ensure alignment with OMS/UCI messages and cross-domain guard rules.
Airworthiness & Certification
• Lead authoring of AF Form 1067s, E-series flight-clearance packages, and safety-of-flight analyses.
• Oversee DO-254 (hardware) & DO-178C (software) compliance artifacts where required.
Digital Thread / MBSE
• Capture avionics models in SysML/CAMEO and link to requirements, verification methods, and hardware part trees.
• Drive configuration-control boards, red-line incorporation, and model synchronization.
Lab-to-Flight Integration
• Specify and validate wiring harnesses, signal conditioning, and power interfaces in the Integration SIL.
• Troubleshoot EMI/EMC, timing, and protocol issues; guide corrective actions through to flight-test readiness.
Flight-Test & Fielding Support
• Draft test cards, telemetry requirements, and Interim Authorizations To Test (IATT).
• Serve as on-board or ground avionics lead during developmental & operational flights; analyze real-time data and coordinate anomaly resolution.
Mentorship & Stakeholder Engagement
• Advise Government IPT leads, platform SPOs, and OEM avionics teams; present technical status to SES/GO audiences.
• Mentor mid-level engineers, instilling open-architecture and DevSecOps best practices in a classified environment.
Required Skills:
Due to the sensitivity of customer related requirements, U.S. Citizenship is required.
B.S. in Electrical, Avionics, Aerospace, or Computer Engineering (M.S. preferred) plus 20 + years of avionics design/integration on military fixed- or rotary-wing platforms, including flight-test and fielding.
Active TS/SCI clearance.
Expert knowledge of MIL-STD-1553, ARINC-429/664, Ethernet (TSN/AFDX), VPX architectures, and timing/synchronization methods.
Demonstrated success integrating Type-1 crypto, SATCOM/RF subsystems, and open mission systems (OMS/UCI, FACE, SOSA).
Hands-on experience generating airworthiness artifacts and guiding systems through developmental & operational test.
Proficiency with avionics E-CAD and MBSE tools (CAMEO/MagicDraw, Rhapsody, Altium/OrCAD).
Desired Skills:
Prior work on ABMS, CJADC2, or airborne C4ISR networking programs.
Deep familiarity with DO-254/DO-178C compliance, RCC 324/125-15, and MIL-STD-461 EMI/EMC.
INCOSE CSEP/ESEP, DER, or USAF Test Pilot School academic credentials.
Experience integrating software-defined radios, content routing, or SDN architectures into legacy aircraft.
Agile/SAFe certification and exposure to DevSecOps pipelines (Platform One, Rancher).
