About this role

Metrea delivers effects-as-a-service to national security partners across airborne ISR, electronic warfare, secure communications, and more. This role sits within Aerospace Design (ASD), providing engineering design and certification support for avionics integration into general aviation, business, transport, and military derivative aircraft. It supports major alterations and Supplemental Type Certificate development via FAA and Peregrine ODA.

You will review customer requirements, research project needs, and analyze aircraft specifications for system interfaces and electrical load budgets. Perform aircraft surveys with less than 20% travel, then create interconnect drawings using AutoCAD and full Installation Data Packages. Write Engineering Orders, installation instructions, and aircraft manual supplements.
