- Lead the development and review of avionics, power, and support system requirements
- Contribute to end-to-end avionics system design for the DART vehicle
- Run trade studies to select COTS components and guide bespoke development
- Design and deliver wiring harnesses, collaborating closely with technicians on build
- Partner with suppliers and technical stakeholders, leading key engineering interactions
- Execute subsystem testing (EMI/EMC, vibration, thermal, shock) to validate performance
- Bring systems to life — set up, characterise, and prepare for modelling and verification
- Drive integration and troubleshooting, ensuring systems are assembly-ready
- Plan and deliver verification and environmental testing across systems
- Operate within a structured engineering management framework
- Maintain strong adherence to policies, standards, and company values
