Senior Avionics Product Engineer

The future of aerospace and defense starts here.

Ursa Major was founded to revolutionize how America and its allies access and apply high-performance propulsion, from hypersonics to solid rocket motors, satellite maneuvering and launch. We design and deliver propulsion and defense systems that solve the most urgent and critical national security demands.

Our products and technologies require an extraordinary team. A team that will mold tomorrow’s technologies while deploying today’s best. We are an intrinsically motivated team that has a passion for solving problems and empowering each other every day to develop our skills, knowing that there is always room for growth.

Mission-critical avionics require dedicated technical ownership throughout production to ensure reliable delivery, sustained performance, and continuous improvement. As an Avionics Product Engineer, you will serve as the technical owner for an avionics product as it transitions from development into production, becoming the subject matter expert responsible for successful hardware delivery, production support, and product lifecycle execution.

In this role, you will develop expert-level knowledge of the product's electrical design, architecture, manufacturing processes, and test methodologies to support production, troubleshoot technical issues, certify production hardware through Acceptance Test Procedures (ATP), and coordinate cross-functional efforts to meet customer commitments and internal development milestones. Working closely with Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Quality, Program Management, and external vendors, you will drive execution across the organization to ensure production hardware is delivered on schedule while maintaining the highest standards of quality and technical performance.

The ideal candidate enjoys owning a complex hardware product from a technical and execution perspective. They are equally comfortable diving into electrical schematics to troubleshoot a technical issue, leading cross-functional discussions to resolve production challenges, and representing the product in customer, program, and business development meetings.

• Own the overall technical success and execution of an assigned avionics product throughout production.

• Develop and maintain expert-level understanding of the electrical design, architecture, manufacturing processes, and test methodologies.

• Troubleshoot technical issues across production, test, integration, and fielded hardware, engaging subject matter experts when appropriate.

• Own production schedules and drive execution to meet customer contract commitments, internal milestones, and R&D deliverables.

• Coordinate activities across engineering, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and program management to ensure successful hardware deliveries, acting as the primary technical point of contact.

• Support active programs, customer meetings, and technical discussions as the product representative.

• Complete Acceptance Test Procedures (ATP), review results, certify production hardware, and ensure compliance with product requirements.

• Review and disposition technical documentation including ATPs, discrepancy reports, vendor test reports, and manufacturing data packages.

• Lead first-line technical evaluation of circuit boards, assemblies, harnesses, and other supplied hardware, coordinating with SMEs as needed.

• Identify opportunities to improve manufacturability, production yield, quality, cost, and lead times through engineering and process improvements.

• Maintain configuration awareness and ensure technical documentation remains current throughout the product
