Launch Vehicle Systems Engineer - Avionics

Role Overview

A Firefly Avionics systems engineer is responsible for defining requirements, architecture, and implementation of avionics systems on our launch vehicles. In this role, you represent the avionics team during vehicle-level trades, interfacing with other mechanical, propulsion, fluids, and structures teams to identify requirements and design an integrated solution.

What You Will Do

Implement Automation for data analysis, vehicle configuration, component-level testing, and Hardware-in-the-loop Testing. Coordinate systems-level requirements between launch vehicle disciplines and develop subsystem and component-level requirements. Assist in high-level, functional design and development of avionics systems for the current and future launch vehicles.
