TXT E-Tech, part of the TXT Group, is looking for a System Engineer in the avionics field to join the Aerospace & Aviation team.
The candidate will be involved in cross-disciplinary engineering activities related to the management of obsolescence and the re-engineering of avionics subsystems on 4.5th generation fixed-wing platforms.
The role is ideal for candidates with a multidisciplinary engineering background—spanning electronics, software, and mechanics—who wish to develop a comprehensive understanding of how a real avionics system works, while actively contributing to its evolution.
Main responsibilities:
Analyze and evaluate hardware and software obsolescence situations on avionics devices (e.g., cockpit, power generators), integrating logistical and production aspects (e.g., sole suppliers, critical parts, VLLTI components);
Propose alternative technical solutions by preparing formal engineering documentation (design changes, equivalent replacements, retrofits);
Support the development, validation, and qualification of the proposed solutions according to the technical and regulatory requirements of the avionics domain;
Participate in functional, environmental, and integration tests in collaboration with specialist teams (HW/SW/mechanical);
Collaborate with designers and domain specialists to ensure consistent integration of subsystems into the overall avionics system (design reviews);
Contribute to the production of technical documentation and the management of the product lifecycle.
Required technical skills:
Basic knowledge of digital/analog electronics and/or embedded software (C/C++, real-time systems);
Ability to analyze technical specifications (schematics, block diagrams), system requirements, and operational constraints;
Ability to write technical documentation in regulated contexts and apply a systems engineering approach.
Optional technical skills:
Familiarity with verification/testing principles and environmental tests (vibrations, shock, EMI, extreme temperatures, corrosion);
Any laboratory experience, thesis, or projects on interdisciplinary topics (embedded systems, avionics, firmware, testing, integrated HW/SW/MECH design);
Experience or knowledge in the field of materials, physical properties, and mechanical integration;
Knowledge of system architecture fundamentals and communication protocols (e.g., UART, SPI, CAN, Ethernet).
Education required: Degree in Electronic Engineering, Computer Science, Mechatronics, Aerospace Engineering, Automation Engineering, or related fields.
Why choose TXT Group:
Permanent contract opportunity with compensation based on experience;
Training on topics related to the work performed;
Career opportunities in a fast-growing company undergoing significant change, with a young, international team;
Team-building moments that foster a cohesive team and a positive work atmosphere.
