Develop, lead, and own digital, analog, and mixed-signal circuit avionic designs that interact with avionics systems.
Own these avionics boards across the entire product life cycle, from concept and requirements definition, design, analysis, prototyping, schematic capture, layout, design review, test/verification (power-on, functional / acceptance / qualification testing) and through release to production.
Support avionics architecture trade studies, analyses, performance characterization and specification, device selection, and controller roadmap direction.
Support controller risk analyses, failure modes effects and criticality analyses (FMECA), worst case circuit analyses (WCCA), design for test/manufacture/cost (DFx), and root-cause analysis of test discrepancies.
Participate in program level technology development, mission assurance and safety initiatives, and avionics development process improvements.
Effectively communicate development status, risks, and challenges to management.
