As an Avionics Mechanical Engineer, you'll design, integrate, and test harnesses, enclosures, and structural mounts for aviation hardware, collaborating with cross-functional teams.
We're building safety-enhancing technology for aviation that will save lives. Automated aviation systems will enable a future where air transportation is safer, more convenient and fundamentally transformative to the way goods — and eventually people — move around the planet. We are a team of mission-driven engineers with experience across aerospace, robotics and self-driving cars working to make this future a reality.
As an Avionics Mechanical Engineer at Reliable Robotics, you will be a part of the Vehicle Design and Integration team and will report to the Vehicle Design and Integration Manager. This team is a small group of highly motivated people designing, testing, and flying advanced mechanical systems. The harness engineer is a very cross-functional role at the convergence of the avionics, mechanical, integration, and production teams, with significant hands-on work designing, building, integrating, and testing our harnesses, enclosures, and mounting hardware; expect to broaden your design and application experience. This position will be located at our facility in Mountain View, California.
Responsibilities
In your role as Avionics Mechanical Engineer you will work with the avionics, mechanical, and integration teams to define the hardware interfaces, design the detailed harnesses including definition of the harness routing, design and test enclosures for environmental protection, and design the structural mounts for securing the hardware in the airplane. You'll have the opportunity to design, install, and test your hardware on a remotely operated aircraft, and you'll be an instrumental part of how our hardware teams come together on the airplane.
Basic Success Criteria
- BS in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent industry experience
- 2+ years experience in mechanical or avionics hardware design
- Ability to route harnessing (both in CAD and physically in the airplane) in a strategic manner
- Experience working with connectors, backshells, EMI shielding, and cable/wire protection methods
- Experience designing and analyzing structural mounts
- A love of spatial packaging
- Be logical, inquisitive, and eager to both teach and learn
Preferred Criteria
- 4+ years experience in harness design and avionics packaging
- Experience performing design trades for and detail design of aerospace flight harnesses
- Experience with NX routing and Capital Harness Designer
- Experience designing avionics enclosures
- Experience working on certification-path aviation development projects
- Experience testing hardware to DO-160 requirements
The position will be located at our facility in Mountain View, California.
