We are seeking a Electrical Engineer II who is passionate about analog, digital, and RF circuit design and eager to influence both legacy and next‑generation CNS transceiver products. This is an opportunity to shape systems that operate in some of the most demanding environments in aerospace. Our ideal candidate will be self-motivated, self-disciplined, and possess excellent communication skill and a demonstrated ability to effectively collaborate within a multifunctional, multidiscipline team. You will also be required to demonstrate flexibility and an ability to coordinate with multiple teams, organizations, suppliers, and customers to achieve a common goal.

This is an onsite position based in Melbourne, Florida.

What you will do

• Provide design and engineering support for CNS sustainment products, with opportunities to contribute to new product development.
• Collaborate across interdisciplinary teams—including power, digital, mechanical, systems, and manufacturing—to deliver integrated solutions.
• Managing component obsolescence identification and mitigation
• Troubleshooting hardware and process issues down to circuit card assembly (CCA)/Module and component levels to include analog/digital/RF/power circuitry and interfaces.
• Support transition‑to‑production activities and provide hands‑on troubleshooting and technical support for production teams.
• Perform schematic capture and design documentation
• Investigate failure trends for root cause and implement corrective actions.
• Use your strong communication skills to present technical information clearly and effectively.
• Be self‑motivated, organized, and capable of managing multiple priorities to meet deadlines.

Education & Experience you must have

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and minimum 2 years of prior relevant experience or an Advanced Degree in a related field
• U.S. Person is required - Job requires access to ITAR or 600/500-series EAR information or hardware (directly or indirectly) and the company will not seek an export authorization for this role.

Qualifications You Must Have

• Hands‑on experience with engineering tools and test equipment such as oscilloscopes, DMMs, network analyzers, and power meters.
• Experience with schematic capture tools and the ability to interpret complex schematics.
• Proven ability to lead or influence technical efforts within a multidisciplinary team.
• Demonstrated success working in collaborative team environments.

Qualifications We Prefer

• Proficiency in SPICE simulation tools such as LTSPICE, PSPICE, TINA, etc.
• Knowledge of avionics product lines such as DME, VOR/LOC, ILS, Marker Beacon, GNSS, ADF, and/or Radar Altimeter.
• Experience with Mentor Graphics Xpedition or similar ECAD
• General knowledge and understanding of the FAA Technical Standard Order (TSO) process.
• Experience with Environmental Conditions and Test Procedures for Airborne Equipment (RTCA/DO-160 or MIL-STD-461).
• Background in microwave/RF systems, subsystems, or component‑level design and test.
• Proficiency with electromagnetic simulation and analytical tools such as HFSS, ADS, Microwave Office, and MATLAB.
• Experience translating system‑level requirements into hardware specifications, design artifacts, and test plans.
• Strong problem‑solving skills with the ability to identify creative, technically sound solutions to complex challenges.
• Experience developing technical proposals and delivering formal technical presentations.
• Alignment with Collins Aerospace values: Safety, Trust, Accountability, Respect, Collaboration, Innovation
