What is the difference between Aircraft Integration Engineer vs Aircraft Systems Engineer?

AspectAircraft Integration EngineerAircraft Systems Engineer
CredentialsBachelor's in aerospace, electrical, or mechanical engineering; certifications varyBachelor's in aerospace, electrical, or mechanical engineering; certifications vary
Work EnvironmentDesign, test, and integrate aircraft systems during development and productionDesign, analyze, and improve aircraft systems throughout the lifecycle
Industry UsagePrimarily in aircraft manufacturing and integration projectsUsed across aircraft design, testing, and maintenance sectors
Common Search/ComparisonOften compared due to overlapping responsibilities in aircraft system integration

Aircraft Integration Engineers focus on integrating various aircraft systems during development, ensuring compatibility and functionality. Aircraft Systems Engineers work on designing, analyzing, and maintaining aircraft systems throughout their lifecycle. While both roles require similar credentials and work in related environments, their primary responsibilities differ—one emphasizes integration during production, the other emphasizes system design and maintenance.

Role Overview

We are seeking an Electrical Engineer to support aircraft electrical and avionics integration for modification, installation, repair, and certification projects. The position combines electrical system design, analysis, troubleshooting, documentation, and hands-on support in both engineering and aircraft environments.

What You'll Do
  • Develop and review aircraft electrical and avionics system designs.
  • Create schematics, wiring diagrams, cable assembly drawings, installation drawings, and related engineering documentation.
  • Perform electrical load analysis and evaluate power distribution, circuit protection, grounding, bonding, shielding, and system integration.
  • Support integration of avionics, mission systems, communications equipment, sensors, antennas, and other aircraft electrical equipment.
  • Apply 14 CFR, EWIS, applicable MIL standards, and recognized aircraft electrical design practices.
  • Prepare certification data, compliance documentation, test plans, engineering reports, and other technical material for regulatory approval.
  • Provide technical assistance during aircraft modification, fabrication, installation, troubleshooting, and testing.
  • Participate in engineering design reviews and evaluate electrical architecture, reliability, performance, and maintainability.
  • Work with Mechanical Engineering, Certification, Production, Quality, Program Management, customers, vendors, and other technical teams.
  • Maintain engineering records under configuration control.
  • Contribute to engineering standards, process improvements, and lessons-learned activities.
What You Bring
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related engineering discipline from an accredited college or university.
  • Experience with the design, integration, troubleshooting, and documentation of aircraft electrical, avionics, or mission systems.
  • Knowledge of aircraft wiring, electrical assemblies, power distribution, grounding, bonding, shielding, and circuit protection.
  • Understanding of FAA regulations, aircraft certification, STC projects, or FAA Form 337 major alterations.
  • Ability to create or interpret wiring diagrams, electrical schematics, installation drawings, cable assembly drawings, and technical documentation.
  • Experience with AutoCAD or similar electrical drafting/design software.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office.
  • Strong analytical, troubleshooting, problem-solving, communication, and organizational abilities.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a schedule-driven environment.
  • Comfortable working in an office and aircraft hangar setting.
  • U.S. Citizenship or Permanent Resident status required.
Preferred Experience
  • 5+ years in aircraft modification, avionics integration, or aerospace electrical system design.
  • FAA certification experience involving STC programs, compliance documentation, test plans, test reports, and Instructions for Continued Airworthiness.
  • Knowledge of EWIS requirements and aircraft wiring installation practices.
  • Experience with electrical load analysis, EMI/EMC, bonding, grounding, and system safety evaluations.
  • Experience preparing engineering reports, installation instructions, test procedures, manuals, and certification support documentation.
  • Familiarity with AS9100, aerospace quality systems, configuration control, and engineering release processes.
  • Aircraft production, modification, installation, ground testing, or flight-test experience.
  • Familiarity with SolidWorks, 3D CAD data, and mechanical/electrical integration workflows.
  • Experience working with customers, DERs, FAA representatives, OEMs, or equipment vendors.
Success in the Role
  • Accurate and complete electrical drawings, schematics, wiring diagrams, and engineering documentation.
  • Engineering deliverables completed on schedule.
  • Effective integration of electrical, avionics, and mission systems with minimal redesign or rework.
  • Timely support for production, installation, testing, and troubleshooting activities.
  • Compliance with applicable regulatory, customer, and company requirements.
  • Effective identification and resolution of technical issues and project risks.
  • Contributions to engineering standards, process improvements, and lessons learned.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
