Key skills for this role
Griffon Aerospace designs, builds, and flies unmanned aerial systems that perform. We are a focused team of engineers and operators who care about mission success before satisfying any other "metrics." We don't hand work off and walk away. We own it. Our culture is defined by technical rigor, follow-through, and refusal to accept "good enough."
We're looking for someone to take ownership of our custom flight control hardware and avionics components across our UAS portfolio. Griffon hires engineers who have built things that fly and know what it means to carry a board from schematic to flight line. You'll own the spiral development lifecycle of our flight control hardware end-to-end.
You should know your way around an aircraft development program, understand what integration with flight software and airframes involves, and be comfortable working at a test bench or the flight line as easily as at a desk running analysis tools.
This role is responsible for ensuring flight control hardware reliability and airworthiness from concept through fielded sustainment, including new hardware development, sustaining engineering on deployed platforms, supplier oversight, and certification support. The ideal candidate combines hands-on avionics hardware expertise with the systems-engineering discipline needed to manage a critical subsystem through iterative spiral development and its full lifecycle.
When something is broken in the field, you're on a plane. You don't manage from behind a screen.
Problems are resolved, not deferred. You find a way or you make one.
