• Join client Aerospace and contribute to the design, development, and integration of innovative repair solutions for advanced electronic avionics equipment. • As a Sr Electrical Engineer within the Global Repair & Overhaul Engineering (GROE) organization, you will help sustain and expand client Avionics Repair & Overhaul (R&O) business through engineering problem solving, cost reduction initiatives, and repair capability growth. • You will play a key role in analyzing failures, enhancing diagnostic processes, and developing repair improvements at the circuit card level. • This role is based at the client Olathe Service Center, part of the Integrated Supply Chain (ISC) network.
Key Responsibilities • Monitor, analyze, and validate unit level and circuit card–level failure data. • Diagnose complex technical issues and develop creative, practical engineering solutions. • Collaborate with repair technicians to understand existing workflows and identify opportunities for improved repair methods. • Use electronics and engineering fundamentals to research, evaluate, and propose product and process improvements. • Identify and implement opportunities for repair cost reduction and productivity enhancements. • Expand avionics repair capability through development and deployment of new repair processes. • Coordinate with product design engineering, test engineering, and service center teams to resolve issues involving product modifications, upgrades, and repair development efforts. • Drive standardization of repair and test procedures across multiple sites to improve consistency and efficiency. • Provide clear communication on findings, status updates, and resolutions to internal stakeholders.
Must Have • Bachelor’s degree in a technical discipline (engineering, technology, science, or related field). • 3+ years of experience in an engineering role. • Strong analytical and problem solving skills. • Effective communication and interpersonal skills. • Knowledge of electrical design principles and practices.
We Value • Ability to diagnose, troubleshoot, and resolve complex hardware issues. • Understanding of aerospace industry standards. • Innovation and conceptual thinking to drive technology and process improvements. • Strong decision making abilities in complex situations. • High degree of independence, initiative, and creativity in problem solving. • Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple tasks. • Knowledge of avionics systems (e.g., displays, instruments, flight controls, radios, GPS, autopilot, weather radar, transponders, TCAS, EGPWS, recorders). • Familiarity with FAR 21 (OEM) and FAR 145 (repair) regulations. • Understanding of DO 178, DO 254, and DO 160 guidelines. • Ability to learn and adhere to import/export regulations (EAR/ITAR).
Questions These are based directly on the required skills, avionics environment, and engineering responsibilities. 1. Can you describe a time when you diagnosed a complex electrical or circuit card–level failure? What steps did you take, and what tools/methods did you use?” 2. Tell me about a technical problem where you had limited information. How did you approach identifying the root cause and developing a solution? 3. Have you ever created or improved a repair process? What was the situation, what changes did you recommend, and what was the impact? 4. This role interacts heavily with technicians, design engineers, and test engineering. Can you share an example of working across teams to resolve a design or repair issue? 5. Explain how you’ve used failure data or test data in the past to guide engineering decisions or identify systemic issues. |
