Avionics Engineer

Job Description

Role Summary

The Avionics Engineer supports the safe and efficient operation of a commercial aircraft fleet by translating OEM engineering data and service bulletins into clear, executable maintenance instructions. This role partners closely with maintenance technicians, engineering teams, and cross-functional stakeholders to ensure avionics modifications are implemented accurately and in compliance with FAA regulations.

This is a hands-on, execution-focused engineering role centered on modifications, documentation, and field support.

Key Responsibilities

Interpret and analyze OEM documentation (e.g., Boeing/Airbus service bulletins, maintenance manuals, wiring diagrams, part catalogs) and translate into clear engineering instructions for mechanics and technicians

Author and revise engineering documents (e.g., Engineering Orders, Engineering Authorizations, fleet campaign documentation) to support aircraft modifications and system updates

Support the implementation of avionics-related service bulletins, including updates to systems such as flight deck displays, onboard computers, and navigation systems (e.g., Auto Direction Finder)

Work directly with Aircraft Maintenance Technicians (AMTs) to clarify engineering instructions, troubleshoot issues, and ensure proper execution of modifications

Review and redline engineering documentation (PDF markups) based on field feedback and collaborate with senior engineers for refinement and approval

Coordinate with cross-functional teams including Planning, Line Maintenance, Avionics Shops, and Technical Publications to ensure smooth execution of modifications

Support parts identification and procurement coordination by interpreting material lists provided by OEMs

Utilize tools such as TRAX (or equivalent maintenance systems) to manage engineering workflows and documentation

Participate in the engineering release process to ensure documents are reviewed, approved, and compliant before execution

Assist with configuring aircraft systems for modification efforts (non-test focused, but validation support may be involved)

Operate effectively in a low-direction environment, taking ownership of tasks and driving work forward independently

Example Project Work

Execute avionics modification programs driven by OEM service bulletins

Translate OEM instructions for system updates involving wiring changes, display replacements, and onboard computer upgrades into step-by-step guidance for maintenance teams

Support large-scale update efforts where critical service bulletins are distributed across engineering teams, ensuring accurate implementation across the fleet
