About Us

Aerotalon is the only unified operations platform for global aviation operators. Our goal is to unify scheduling, compliance, maintenance tracking, and crew management into one system. Our systems fly on business jets, large airlines, helicopters and we work directly with airlines to get equipment certified and into service.

About the Role

Twelve months in, you'll have taken a satellite tracking unit from schematic through DO-160 qualification and into a certification program owning the RF chain, the board design, the antenna integration, and the test campaign that proves it works at 45,000 feet.

Role Description

- Own the electrical design of the in aircraft unit schematic capture, PCB layout direction, component selection, and design reviews
- Design and characterize the SATCOM RF front end and integrate the antenna against real airframe constraints (placement, drag, obstruction, ground plane)
- Design sensing chains across all aspects of an aircrafts operating conditions
- Build and defend calibration and drift-management strategy across different components and sensors
- Build to hard power, weight, and size constraints
- Own DO-160 environmental qualification
- Produce the hardware artifacts a DO-254 / EUROCAE ED-80 design assurance process requires,



and support the TSO/STC submission with the certification lead
- Integrate with aircraft data buses and GNSS sources
- Support bring-up, EMI/EMC debug, and flight test

About You

Required

- 3 - 6 years designing production electronic hardware, with at least one product you took from concept through qualification
- Hands on RF design experience with link budgets, low-noise front ends, impedance matching, and the lab skills to debug it
- Robust analog and mixed-signal fundamentals
- Working knowledge of DO-160, or equivalent experience qualifying hardware to a demanding environmental standard
- Comfort with schematic capture and PCB tools (Altium, Cadence, or similar) and with directing layout
- BS in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience

Preferred

- Experience with a TSO or STC certification effort
- Gas sensing experience (NDIR, photoacoustic, or electrochemical), particularly in sealed or pressure-varying environments
- Familiarity with satellite communication systems specifically Iridium, or a comparable constellation
- ADS-B, Mode S, or aviation surveillance background
- Exposure to GADSS autonomous distress tracking requirements
- Antenna design or airframe integration experience
