The Role
- Architect and integrate reliable monitoring and mixed-signal electronics, including the elicitation of requirements and the generation of new derived requirements to support system-level functionality and safety objectives.
- Collaborate with external suppliers on the detailed design and manufacturing of electronic hardware, ensuring appropriate component selection, generation of the required configuration-control documentation and traceability, and adherence to ZeroAvia design standards.
- Collaborate with Fuel Cell Systems, Mechanical, Software teams and other stakeholders to support the integration of HW electronic circuit card designs.
HW Development Assurance Activities
- Own the design throughout the development cycle. Produce the required documentation for reviews, drive, address findings, and perform follow-up activities with internal and external stakeholders.
- Support compliance with DO-254 Plan objectives and activities for simple and complex electronic hardware, including documentation, traceability, verification, and validation processes.
Process Assurance
- Produce and review design documentation to ensure traceability, compliance, and configuration control, in alignment with ZeroAvia's design processes and procedures.
- Maintain, review, and drive continuous improvement of ZeroAvia’s engineering and design standards to ensure alignment with evolving aerospace best practices.
Collaboration
At ZeroAvia, we embrace the principle of "One Team, One Goal"—you will need strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across multidisciplinary design teams.
