About The Position

The Electrical Engineer II supports the design, development, integration, verification, qualification, production, and sustaining engineering of airborne communication and control electronics within the Radio Business Unit. The role works cross-functionally with RF, software, systems, mechanical, manufacturing, test, quality, and supply chain teams to deliver reliable, configuration-controlled products and technically sound evidence for customer and regulatory requirements. Canyon AeroConnect supplies avionics-standard aircraft communications, navigation, and audio/intercom systems used in civilian, paramilitary, and military fixed-wing and rotorcraft applications. Its products include digital and analog radio/audio management systems, Tac/Com, VHF/UHF radio systems, intercoms, data interface accessories, and aural warning equipment. The position is primarily office- and laboratory-based, with occasional factory-floor activity and potential program-related travel. The role must meet Export Control compliance requirements; applicants must qualify as a “US Person” under 22 C.F.R. § 120.15. The employee must follow site safety, ESD, quality, document-control, and information-security procedures.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related engineering discipline; equivalent relevant experience may be considered under company policy.
Practical experience with electronic hardware design, integration, debugging, and laboratory verification.
Ability to interpret schematics, assembly drawings, specifications, test data, and component datasheets.
Working understanding of analog and digital circuits, interfaces, basic RF concepts, power electronics, and PCB manufacturing constraints.
Strong technical writing, problem-solving, prioritization, and collaboration skills.
Must qualify as a “US Person” as defined by 22 C.F.R. § 120.15, including a US Citizen, lawful permanent resident, refugee, or asylee, to meet Export Control compliance requirements.

Nice To Haves

Experience with airborne radios, avionics, embedded systems, or safety/mission-critical electronics.
Familiarity with DO-160, MIL-STD-461, AS9100, IPC workmanship standards, or similar qualification and manufacturing frameworks.
Experience with Altium, OrCAD, Cadence, or comparable ECAD tools; Jira/SVN or other engineering configuration tools.
Experience with automated test equipment, Python/LabVIEW or other instrumentation automation, and structured statistical analysis.
Knowledge of failure analysis, DFMEA/PFMEA, design-for-test, design-for-manufacture, and supplier technical investigations.

Responsibilities

Design and maintain electronic assemblies, schematic designs, circuit interfaces, wiring/interconnects, and supporting engineering drawings for airborne radio and control products.
Perform circuit-level analysis, component selection, derating, power-budget assessment, signal-integrity evaluation, and troubleshooting of analog/digital and power-distribution functions.
Develop or support engineering requirements, design documentation, interface definitions, test procedures, and requirements-to-verification traceability.
Plan and execute bench verification and design characterization using appropriate laboratory instruments and automated test systems.
Investigate anomalies and field or production failures through structured root-cause analysis, controlled experiments, data evaluation, and documented corrective actions.
Support environmental and EMC qualification activities, including preparation, testing, discrepancy resolution, and objective-evidence packages for applicable program requirements such as DO-160 and other contractual standards.
Partner with Manufacturing and Test Engineering to improve production testability, work instructions, acceptance criteria, first-pass yield, reliability, and transition of designs into repeatable manufacture.
Participate in engineering change control, configuration management, supplier technical reviews, obsolescence mitigation, and sustaining-engineering activities.
Coordinate technical deliverables with internal teams, suppliers, and customers; communicate risks, dependencies, verification status, and recovery actions clearly.
Complete assigned design and verification deliverables on time with traceable evidence; help close technical investigations and reduce repeat production or field failures.
Improve test coverage, production yield, and engineering-change execution through controlled documentation, and proactively resolve technical risks and cross-functional dependencies.
