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 settings
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
