12h

About The Position

Radia is seeking an experienced avionics systems engineer to lead development, integration, and certification of the WindRunner aircraft’s Central Computing, Warning, and Data Concentration Network (DCN) systems. The role serves as a technical and model-based integration focal for aircraft functions, data, control logic, warnings, and system interactions allocated to the central computing and network architecture. The engineer will develop and maintain applicable portions of the WindRunner system model using Radia’s digital-engineering toolchain, including Zuken GENESYS and Jama Connect. The role works closely with Radia engineering teams, aircraft-system work packages, Tier 1 suppliers, and sub-tier suppliers. Radia is a dual-use aerospace company developing WindRunner, an aircraft designed to transport oversized cargo across defense, energy, commercial, aerospace, and humanitarian missions without reliance on specialized infrastructure. Radia is headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, and Rome, Italy. The position is preferably based in Boulder, Colorado; remote candidates may be considered based on experience, role requirements, and ability to travel as needed.

Requirements

Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Aerospace, Electrical, Systems Engineering, or a related technical field.
10 or more years of experience developing or integrating complex aircraft systems, including at least 5 years in central computing, crew alerting or warning, data concentration, avionics networks, or related systems.
Experience developing aircraft system requirements, functional architectures, interfaces, verification activities, and certification data on a Part 25 aircraft.
Knowledge of SAE ARP4754B, SAE ARP4761A, DO-178C, DO-254, and FAA Part 25 certification processes.
Experience applying MBSE methods to architecture development, functional allocation, interface definition, traceability, design reviews, or change-impact analysis.
Strong analytical, technical communication, and cross-functional coordination skills.

Nice To Haves

Experience with Zuken GENESYS, Jama Connect, or comparable MBSE and requirements management tools.
Experience with aircraft computing, data networks, data buses, input/output, signal definitions, or interface-control data.
Experience with behavioral modeling, system simulation, or integration of MBSE models.
Experience with system integration laboratories, hardware-in-the-loop testing, aircraft ground or flight testing.
Experience defining digital-engineering deliverables, model-exchange requirements, or technical data requirements for suppliers.
