What you'd do

• You will learn about our growing engineering team in Puerto Rico; What we do? Who we support? How we work?
• You will learn the technologies of today and tomorrow which we count on to maintain world leadership in the aerospace industry.
• You will learn why people enjoy and feel fulfilled by working in our industry.
• Perform circuit design lifecycle activities, including requirements capture, schematic capture, design documentation, circuit design analysis like Performance, Stability, ESD/Lightning, Decoupling and Signal/Power Integrity analysis, creation of board stack-up and routing instructions, coordination and review of printed wiring board layout, creation of test plans, root cause analysis, and integration.
• Design, develop, and integrate Collins products within the communication systems and test solutions in multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Develop both engineering and production test systems, test interface adapters, cabling, technical drawings, schematics, circuit designs, and analysis.
• Contribute to the completion of all stages of communication system and test system development. Asist managing technical, cost, and schedule aspects of assigned projects.
• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of engineers to develop proven hardware de‐signs that meet system performance and operational specifications.
• English (read, write, speak) is required when communicating with customers, co-workers, or supervisors who only speak English
