• Plan and execute avionics upgrades and retrofit projects
• Research and source components and materials
• Communicate with customers to determine project requirements and recommend suitable systems
• Estimate labor and materials for avionics projects
• Ensure all work is completed in accordance with accepted aviation standards and best practices

Preferred Additional Skills

The ideal candidate may also have experience in one or more of the following areas:

• Composite aircraft construction and repair
• Aircraft design or engineering support
• CAD design, including Fusion 360 or similar software
• Structural modifications and prototype development
• Experimental aircraft systems integration

Qualifications

Required

• Experience with aircraft electrical systems and avionics installations

• CAD/Fusion 360 experience
• Experience working on experimental or amateur-built aircraft

What We're Looking For

We're looking for a self-starter who enjoys solving problems, takes pride in quality workmanship, and wants to play a key role in building and improving aircraft. This position offers significant autonomy and the opportunity to contribute beyond avionics into broader aircraft development and production activities.
