About The Position

Imagine seeing your architectural choices take flight on the most recognizable helicopter platforms in the world. We’re looking for a Senior Avionics Systems Engineer who thrives on ownership. You won’t just be following a manual; you’ll be establishing requirements, identifying risks, and leading design reviews that shape the safety and functionality of the cockpit. With a focus on 100% onsite collaboration and a "first-time-right" quality mindset, you’ll be the bridge between customer needs and airworthiness reality. Come help us define what’s next for the H125, H145, and beyond. Meet the Team: Our Engineers have the privilege of working on complex, highly engineered machines and are involved at all stages of the aircraft life cycle, from product development to manufacturing and support to our customers. If you’re interested in designing, creating, and testing the present and future of Airbus products across the globe, join our mission to connect the world. Your Working Environment: A suburb just outside the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area is home to Airbus Helicopters U.S. regional headquarters, where we have more than 1,000 employees. Check out one of the seven professional sports teams that also call Dallas home - you may even see a special, custom Airbus helicopter dedicated to the Dallas Cowboys flying during home games.
