Avionics and Weapons System Integration Engineer

We are pioneers. We were the first to break the sound barrier and to design the first functional jetpack. We were aboard NASA’s first lunar mission and brought advanced tiltrotor systems to market. Today, we are defining the future of on-demand mobility. At Bell, we are proud to work for an iconic company with superb talent, rapidly creating novel and coveted vertical lift experiences.

What you’ll be doing:

· Take part in the organization, planning, and management of new aircraft avionics and mission systems within an Integrated Product Team (IPT) to meet program and customer defined requirements.

· Build, interface, and test multiple computer systems in a modular architecture to meet MOSA, Safety, Security, Environmental, EMI and performance requirements while working in an Agile framework.

· Create data interfaces for Ethernet, serial and various avionics bus protocols and support throughout the entire software development life cycle from requirements definition to product deployment.

· Manage Avionics and Mission Systems suppliers via specifications and statements of work. Estimate and manage schedules, budgets, and technology to customer standards.

· Collaboration with Bell Engineers from other disciplines to include electrical power, flight controls, propulsion, airframe structures, rotors, fuel, hydraulics and drive systems.

· Work directly on the aircraft to test and verify that avionics systems meet performance requirements when installed.

Skills you bring to this role:

• Familiarity with electrical schematics and wiring diagrams supporting wiring diagrams and harness creation
• Aircraft installation, functional testing, and troubleshooting.
• Experience troubleshooting and resolving system integration/verification issues. Demonstrated ability to lead teams in development, integration, validation, and verification of systems
• Avionics architecture design experience
• Ability to prepare aircraft level analysis
• Familiarity with weapons systems and integration of weapons

Nice to have:

• Familiarity with MIL-STD-882 processes and ARP4754A for architecture and systems development and MIL-HDBK-516c / AMACC Requirement interpretation
• Experience developing and validating requirements.
• System development and testing in a Systems Integration Lab.
• Understanding of aircraft and mission safety considerations.

Requirements:

• A Bachelor’s Degree in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science. (Other Engineering degrees with relevant experience will be considered.)
