Avionics Engineer – STOL Aircraft

LAT Aerospace

What you’ll do

• Design and integrate key avionics systems, including INS, GNSS, communication systems (datalinks, SATCOM), and flight control computers.

• Build out the core fly-by-wire architecture—bringing together sensors, actuators, and safety-critical signal pathways.

• Create and manage the electrical wiring and interconnect system layout specific to avionics components.

• Work closely with teams handling flight controls, propulsion, and the airframe to ensure the avionics systems integrate smoothly across the aircraft.

• Collaborate on the development and integration of autopilot functions, pilot displays, and ground-based support systems.

• Ensure all avionics systems meet relevant safety and certification standards, such as DO-178C, DO-254, ARP4754A or equivalent.

• Support the full testing lifecycle—from bench testing to ground checks and flight validation—to verify system performance and reliability.

• Plan for system-level redundancy, conduct failure mode analysis, and help design fault-tolerant architectures for critical avionics.

What we're looking for

• Proven experience in designing avionics architecture for safety-critical aerospace systems.

• Hands-on experience with integration and testing of avionics sensors, including INS, GNSS, air data sensors, and RF communication systems.

• Skilled in evaluating and validating avionics hardware and software against specification sheets and relevant standards, including MIL-STD-461/810.

• Solid understanding of aviation safety and certification standards, such as DO-178C (software), DO-254 (hardware), ARP4754A (system development), and DO-160 (environmental testing).

• Experience with system-level integration, troubleshooting, and debugging avionics in both lab and flight test environments.

• Exposure to redundant architectures, fault-tolerant design, and FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) is desirable.

Why LAT?

• Core team opportunity at a high-conviction deep-tech startup

• Real aircraft, real flying hardware, real impact

• Build the future of sustainable aviation in India
