Chief Hardware Architect

As Chief Hardware Architect, you are Avidyne’s expert on resolving the most challenging and unclear hardware issues we encounter, particularly those that span across product lines, teams, and multiple years of our roadmap.

You’ll define the architecture strategy and technology roadmap for processor boards, FPGA hardware, and mixed signal circuits across every avionics product line we build, and set the PCB design, schematic capture, and layout standards (Altium or equivalent) that the whole hardware organization designs against.

This involves leading enterprise level design and architecture reviews, advising executive leadership on technology strategy as well as make-or-buy decisions, and representing Avidyne’s hardware capabilities to customers, suppliers, and regulators. Additionally, you will provide senior technical oversight during board bring-up, debugging, and validation, stepping in personally when a particularly challenging hardware issue arises.

You’ll lead a team of outstanding electrical engineers directly, mentor and collaborate with Principal and Senior engineers across the broader organization, raising the technical bar everywhere you go. And on safety, you’ll champion safety-of-flight design principles companywide, ensuring every architecture decision supports DO-254, DO-160, and MIL-STD-810 certification from day one; not as a checkbox, but as the standard.

At Avidyne, our culture is grounded in the philosophy of Simply Flying; a focus on creating practical, effective solutions that make a real impact.

Built for those who never settle for good enough, we’re looking for dedicated professionals who bring integrity to every decision and push for smarter, safer solutions; because every flight depends on it.

Here, innovation is driven by people who care deeply about the future of aviation. Your ideas can help create safer, smarter solutions; your work will truly make a difference.
