Description

About Acron Aviation (Avionics): Acron Aviation designs, engineers, and manufactures certified avionics systems that support safety‑critical flight operations across commercial and military aviation. Our avionics portfolio includes surveillance, recorders, displays, and related systems developed in regulated environments and deployed on aircraft worldwide. We partner closely with operators and OEMs to deliver reliable, certifiable technology throughout the full product lifecycle—from development and qualification through production and aftermarket support. At Acron Aviation, avionics engineering is rooted in technical rigor, operational discipline, and a customer‑first approach to execution. About our Surveillance Product Line: Acron Aviation’s Surveillance organization develops and sustains safety‑critical systems that enable aircraft awareness, collision avoidance, and airspace interoperability. Our surveillance portfolio includes ADS‑B, Mode S transponders, traffic collision avoidance, and integrated surveillance solutions deployed across commercial, military, and rotorcraft platforms. This work is performed in highly regulated environments. It requires deep expertise in systems, hardware, software, and RF across the full lifecycle—from requirements and certification through production and in‑service support. Surveillance engineering at Acron Aviation emphasizes technical rigor, disciplined execution, and close coordination with operators and OEM partners. Job Description: As a Senior Associate Electrical Engineer within our Surveillance product line, you will focus on developing TCAS and transponder avionics for commercial aircraft. This responsibility spans concept generation, design, qualification, and lifecycle management. You will interact with multi-disciplinary engineering teams, as well as operations and manufacturing, to create and deliver products to our customers. You will support senior engineers in developing detailed analysis and documentation, running hands-on tests and simulations, and providing design inputs. Essential Functions: · Design and support digital, analog, and power circuitry, with supplemental RF principles, in the avionics realm. · Design, analyze, and test circuits with microprocessors, memory, Ethernet, SPI, I2C, high-speed busses including PCIe, and various avionics interfaces. · Support production and resolve factory issues affecting assigned products. · Conduct electrical schematic generation and review. Support for and review of CAD layout (preferred skills with Altium). · Develop change impact analysis documents and support product management (obsolescence, design for cost, design for manufacturability) · Utilize electrical analysis tools for power distribution, stress analysis, and other relevant simulations. · Effectively communicate across multiple technical teams. · Communicate directly with customers, in person or virtually, to understand their problems and formulate actionable solutions. · Other duties as assigned. · Travel up to 10%.
