& Skill Requirement: Key Responsibilities Lead the Avionics & Communication IPT, ensuring alignment with overall aircraft program objectives. Own scope, schedule, cost, and quality deliverables for avionics systems. Coordinate across multi-disciplinary teams (systems, hardware, software, V&V;, certification).

Act as the primary interface with customer, suppliers, and internal stakeholders. Communication systems (VHF/UHF, SATCOM, data links) Flight control & monitoring interfaces Drive system-level trade studies, technology selection, and interface definitions.

Ensure system design complies with: ARP4754A / ARP4761 DO-178C (Software) Develop and review: System Requirements (SRD) Interface Control Documents (ICD) 3. Integration & Validation Lead avionics system integration activities (LRU/system level). Oversee verification & validation (V&V;) strategy and execution: HIL/SIL simulations Ensure proper system interoperability across subsystems (EWIS, power, cockpit systems). 4.

Certification & Compliance ~ Drive certification activities in line with: ~ FAA / EASA / DGCA regulations ~ PSAC, PHAC, PDR/CDR reviews ~ Compliance matrices ~ Interface with DERs, ARs, and certification authorities. ~ Act as technical focal point for avionics domain. ~ Present design progress, risks, and mitigation plans to stakeholders. ~ Support proposal/RFQ responses, estimation, and technical solutioning.



~ Identify and mitigate technical risks and integration issues. ~ Ensure adherence to configuration management and change control processes. ~12-18+ years in aerospace/aviation domain. ~ Aircraft NPD programs ~ Experience in leading IPTs or large cross-functional teams is mandatory.
