Stratolaunch is a technology accelerator that engineers operationally realistic testing at Mach 5+. Our air-launched, Talon testbeds are reusable, cost-effective platforms that enable routine access to the hypersonic environment. We deliver flight data critical to validating system performance and achieving rapid technology deployment. Together with our customers, we drive innovations that are imperative to advancing national security.
To help achieve these efforts, Stratolaunch is seeking a level II, Sr-, or Staff-level to Avionics Manufacturing Engineer support design, integration, testing, and maintenance of the hypersonic vehicle electrical and avionics systems. You will create shop definition including, wiring diagrams, harness drawings, and work instructions describing manufacturing detailed information to be released to the electrical shop. Liaison engineering is required in the electrical shop to provide technicians with sufficient support to complete the task on hand. This will include, but not limited to, providing alternate information to part numbers, explain electrical manufacturing processes from Aerospace industry standards, redline engineering documentation, source, and purchase electrical components, and act as the bridge between the engineering design team and the operations team to ensure Fit-Form-Function criteria is met for design and manufacturing. This position will include evaluation of a broad range of technical data. Candidates must have an aerospace development background and relevant experience in aerospace systems integration.
