The posting

If you are an engineer looking to design and build actual hardware that flies, rather than just specifying it for others to construct, this position may be ideal for you.

As a Mechanical Engineer at Avidyne, you will be actively involved in the electromechanical packaging of our cockpit displays. Your responsibilities will include taking your designs from CAD through the DO-160 qualification process, ensuring they meet industry standards for safety and performance. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to work alongside seasoned engineers who are dedicated to collaboration and excellence in the field. This role offers a unique chance to apply your skills in a hands-on environment while contributing to innovative aviation technology.

Why Avidyne

At Avidyne, we exist to make aircraft easier to fly.

Our mission, Simply Flying, guides the products we design and the way we work. We build avionics that are high-quality, intuitive, and straightforward to install — helping pilots focus on what matters most.

What You'll Do

Mechanical Design & Documentation

• Design complex electromechanical devices, electronics packaging, and human interface components for aircraft cockpit displays using advanced 3D modeling.

• Develop and maintain engineering documentation — drawings, specifications, bills of materials, and design records — to support certification and production.

• Design sheet metal, machined, cast, and injection molded parts with attention to structural integrity, weight optimization, and manufacturability.

• Create and maintain design models and assemblies that integrate electrical, thermal, and mechanical subsystems within avionics products.

Verification & Environmental Testing

• Plan and execute design verification activities, including structural analysis, thermal evaluation, and functional testing of mechanical assemblies.

• Perform environmental qualification testing in accordance with DO-160 and other applicable aviation standards, documenting results and resolving nonconformances.

• Build and evaluate prototypes to validate design concepts and support iterative development cycles.

• Analyze test data, identify root causes of design deficiencies, and implement corrective actions.

Production & Manufacturing Support

• Collaborate with manufacturing teams to transition designs from development to production, keeping design intent intact and manufacturability optimized.

• Interface with sub-assembly suppliers and contract manufacturers to communicate design requirements and resolve production issues.

• Apply design for manufacturability (DFM) and design for assembly (DFA) principles to reduce cost and improve quality.

• Support production troubleshooting by investigating field issues and recommending design or process improvements.

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or a related engineering discipline, plus 2+ years of relevant industry experience (or a Master's with less experience).

• Applied knowledge of mechanical design principles — stress analysis, material selection, thermal management, and structural mechanics.

• Skill in 3D CAD modeling and design documentation using SolidWorks, Creo, or equivalent tools.

• General familiarity with manufacturing processes: sheet metal fabrication, CNC machining, casting, and injection molding.

• Awareness of DO-160 environmental testing standards and FAA/EASA certification requirements for aviation electronics.

Collaboration & Communication

• Ability to execute assigned design tasks independently and deliver accurate, well-documented results.

• Clear written and verbal communication skills for working across engineering, manufacturing, and supplier teams.

• Organized approach to managing design deliverables and priorities in a fast-moving development environment.

Bonus Points

• Experience designing avionics hardware, cockpit displays, or human-machine interfaces for aircraft applications.

• Familiarity with finite element analysis (FEA) tools such as ANSYS, Abaqus, or SolidWorks Simulation.

• Familiarity with additive manufacturing techniques and their application to prototyping and low-volume production.

• Exposure to FAA Technical Standard Orders (TSOs) or EASA certification processes.

• Private Pilot License (PPL) or a demonstrated personal passion for aviation.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
