  • Knowledge of real-time systems, sensor integration, or communication systems for ES domain roles.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills for cross-functional teamwork.
  • Understanding of FAA regulations, data privacy laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA), and security best practices.

Preferred Skills:

  • Familiarity with real-time, safety-critical systems or safety-of-flight applications (ES domain).
