Skills
- Strong foundation in electrical engineering and electronics.
- Understanding of avionics systems and components.
- Proficiency in programming languages like C, C++, or Ada.
- Knowledge of digital signal processing and control systems.
- Ability to work in a team environment and adhere to strict quality standards.
- Avionics System Certification and Compliance:
Aerospace Avionics Engineers ensure that avionics systems comply with relevant standards and regulations, such as those established by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), and the Military Aviation Authorities (MAA). They adhere to safety protocols, implement quality control measures, and maintain traceability of design and testing records.
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA): While not mandatory, compliance with FAA regulations can facilitate international cooperation and technology transfer.
European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA): Similar to FAA, compliance with EASA standards can open up global markets.
