About the role:
This is a hands-on, cross-functional role supporting GNC, power distribution, instrumentation, communications, RF systems, flight software, test, manufacturing, and vehicle integration. You will own detailed hardware design while also understanding how that hardware performs at the subsystem and integrated vehicle level.
Responsibilities
- Design, analyze, integrate, and test avionics and electrical systems for flight vehicles, ground test assets, and supporting infrastructure.
- Own electrical hardware from concept through design, procurement, build, checkout, qualification, and vehicle integration.
- Develop schematics, wiring diagrams, harness/interface definitions, test plans, procedures, and technical documentation.
- Support architecture trades across power distribution, instrumentation, controls, data acquisition, communication buses, and RF interfaces.
- Work with GNC, flight software, propulsion, structures, hydraulics, test, manufacturing, and operations teams to define requirements and integrated solutions.
- Perform electrical design analysis, including power budgets, signal integrity, thermal considerations, grounding/bonding, and interface compatibility.
- Bring up, troubleshoot, and modify electrical systems at the bench, subsystem, and vehicle level.
- Support ground test, environmental test, integrated vehicle test, and flight test campaigns.
- Maintain configuration control over avionics hardware, drawings, wiring diagrams, work instructions, test procedures, and as-built documentation.
- Support design reviews, test readiness reviews, failure investigations, and risk mitigation planning.
- Work hands-on with technicians, test engineers, and manufacturing teams to quickly resolve issues and keep hardware moving.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or a related engineering discipline.
- 4+ years of experience in electrical hardware design, avionics integration, instrumentation, control systems, digital communication buses, analog design, power electronics, harness design, or vehicle electrical systems.
- Experience creating or interpreting schematics, wiring diagrams, interface control documents, or test procedures.
- Strong troubleshooting skills and comfort working hands-on with electrical hardware.
- Ability to work cross-functionally with engineering, test, manufacturing, and operations teams.
- Bias toward action and willingness to operate in a fast-paced hardware development environment.
Preferred Skills and Experience
- Master’s degree in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or a related discipline.
- Experience with embedded systems, device integration, verification and validation, environmental qualification, ground testing, or flight testing.
- Experience with avionics devices, sensors, data acquisition, telemetry, instrumentation, or signal conditioning hardware.
- Familiarity with tools such as DMMs, oscilloscopes, power supplies, SPICE, MATLAB, LabVIEW, or Ansys.
- Experience with Altium Designer, Siemens NX, Teamcenter, Git, Jira, Jama, Confluence, or similar tools.
- Familiarity with avionics interfaces and hardware such as RS-485, Ethernet, ARINC-429, CAN, GPS, INS, FPGAs, D38999-style connectors, or similar.
- Familiarity with aerospace standards such as IPC-620, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-704, MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-464, MIL-HDBK-516, or DO-160.
- Experience with DC power systems, batteries, motors, generators, power distribution, grounding, bonding, or EMI/EMC.
- Experience supporting vehicle bring-up, integrated checkout, anomaly resolution, or test operations.
- Project experience with aircraft, launch vehicles, spacecraft, UAVs, missiles, defense systems, or other complex hardware platforms.
- Ability to travel on short notice to support test campaigns.
The salary range listed for this role is intended as a general guideline. Final compensation will be determined based on a variety of factors, including role scope and responsibilities, relevant experience, education and training, key skills, market data, and business needs.
At Hermeus, compensation is only one part of our total rewards package. We offer competitive pay, equity, and a range of benefits designed to support our team.

Mid Level Avionics Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a mid level avionics engineer job?
Position your experience around ownership, not just contribution. Highlight systems you drove from design through integration, cross-functional work with systems or software teams, and any debugging or test leadership you led independently. Tailor your resume to show scope and decision-making authority. Employers at this level want engineers who can run a workstream, not just execute tasks handed to them.
Which companies hire mid level avionics engineers?
Companies hiring mid level avionics engineers right now include Collins Aerospace, Blue Origin, and AAR, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. Defense primes, commercial aerospace manufacturers, and government contractors tend to hire most heavily at this level, where engineers can take on meaningful program responsibility without requiring senior-level overhead.
Are there remote mid level avionics engineer jobs?
Yes, though hardware-intensive roles often require at least partial on-site presence. About 5% of mid level avionics engineer openings are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, with hybrid arrangements most common at larger aerospace and defense employers where lab access is required for testing, integration, or certification work.
How do I move up to a mid level avionics engineer role?
Moving from entry level into mid level comes from building depth on a specific system or domain, taking on ownership of a feature or subsystem, and showing measurable impact across a full project cycle. Employers look for engineers who have navigated integration challenges, contributed to design reviews, and demonstrated the judgment to work through technical problems independently before escalating.
Which industries hire the most mid level avionics engineers?
Mid Level avionics engineer roles concentrate in Aerospace & Defense, Retail, and Media & Entertainment, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. These sectors drive hiring at this level because their programs require engineers who can own complex subsystems and interface across hardware, software, and certification teams without continuous senior supervision.
