Senior Avionics Systems Engineer

AIRO Group Holdings, Inc. • Montreal, QC

4d • CA$95,000 - CA$120,000 • Onsite

About The Position

As a Level 3 Senior Avionics Systems Engineer, you will play a key technical role in the design, integration, verification, and validation of the JC-250 Cargo RPAS avionics architecture. You will be responsible for integrating aircraft avionics subsystems including the Flight Control Computer (FCC) System, Communications Management Units (CMUs), interfaces, sensors, and aircraft networks into a fully functional BVLOS autonomous aircraft. Working closely with systems, software, electrical, flight controls, and supporting engineering teams, you will support the complete avionics development lifecycle from architecture implementation and laboratory integration through Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing, ground testing, and flight test support. The successful candidate will help mature the JC-250 avionics platform into a certifiable production-ready system supporting Transport Canada, FAA, and international certification objectives.

Requirements

• Proven hardware-focused background inside active avionics integration setups, embedded hardware testing, or robotics engineering environments.
• Practical capability mapping and reading aircraft electrical schematics, pinout tables, and complex communication interface control documents (ICDs).
• Direct experience handling hardware data infrastructure, incorporating differential signaling networks, line terminators, and bus shielding boundaries.
• Proficiency using electronic test equipment including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, and digital multimeters.
• Technical familiarity working with airborne communication links, RF antenna parameters, or Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) configurations.
• Basic coding literacy writing functional diagnostics scripts or automation tasks to manipulate, clean, or log hardware registers and message arrays.

Nice To Haves

• Ability to read, write, and understand French

Responsibilities

• Support the development of avionics architectures, electrical interface definitions, Interface Control Documents (ICDs), system specifications, verification procedures, and other engineering documentation supporting aircraft development and certification.
• Integrate and verify aircraft communication and navigation systems, including RF command-and-control radios, LTE/5G, satellite communications, Ethernet networks, GNSS receivers, inertial sensors, air-data systems, ADS-B, and other avionics equipment.
• Lead aircraft-level integration and testing of avionics hardware and software using CAN, CAN-FD, RS-485, Ethernet, serial communications, discrete I/O, analog interfaces, and power distribution systems through laboratory, HIL, SIL, ground, and flight-test activities.
• Develop automated test tools, telemetry software, and diagnostic capabilities, while analyzing communication networks, system timing, synchronization, and avionics performance to identify and resolve integration issues.
• Support aircraft electrical integration, including wiring harnesses, connector definition, equipment installation, grounding, shielding, EMI/EMC compliance, and troubleshooting of avionics anomalies through root-cause analysis and corrective action.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering, manufacturing, suppliers, flight test, and certification teams to mature the JC-250 avionics system from development through production while supporting system safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance.
• Write and maintain modular hardware automation and data-logging scripts to capture raw system telemetry streams during hardware integration cycles.
• Document physical bench layouts, configuration baselines, and test anomalies to keep the project technical baseline verified against systems engineering standards.
