Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A research and development engineering position that handles everything from requirements definition to design, testing, and evaluation of aircraft electronic equipment (avionics).
Description
Aircraft Electrical Equipment Development Engineers are engineers who research and develop avionics such as electronic control devices, sensors, and communication equipment installed on aircraft. They define requirements based on customer demands and legal regulations, perform circuit design, PCB layout, embedded software development, and simulation using MATLAB/Simulink. Environmental testing (vibration, temperature, EMC/EMI), safety evaluations, and certification compliance with FAA/EASA/JAC standards are also important tasks. They advance the product development cycle in collaboration with airframe design, manufacturing, quality assurance, and project management departments.
Future Outlook
With the advancement of digitalization and automation in the aerospace industry, as well as the spread of drones and electric aircraft, demand will remain stable, and the market value of highly specialized engineers will increase.
