Reax is hiring a Staff Avionics Systems Engineer to own the engineering of complete avionics systems from architecture through integration and test. This role exists to turn program intent into reliable, low-cost, flight-relevant hardware systems on extremely short timelines, where schedule, cost, reliability, regulatory path, and technical performance must be traded together rather than optimized in isolation.
The work will require pulling together COTS and custom components across RF, compute, data handling, sensing, power, wiring, and command-and-control interfaces; integrating those components into a larger aircraft or mission system; and producing architectures that are simple, inspectable, maintainable, and credible to internal engineering teams and external stakeholders.
