Electrical Systems Integration Engineer
Aircraft Electrical Power Generation, Distribution & Lighting Systems
***MANDATORY - CANDIDATES MUST MEET ALL OF THE FOLLOWING***
- ****Work authorization: Candidate must already have valid legal papers/status to work in Canada in hand.****
- Experience : Candidates who cannot speak directly to aircraft systems integration experience and applicable aviation standards do not meet the bar for this role, regardless of general electrical engineering strength.
- Education: Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering.
- Experience: Minimum 5 years in electrical systems integration or a directly related discipline.
- Domain expertise: Hands-on experience with aircraft electrical systems - power generation, power distribution, and/or lighting systems.
- Standards knowledge: Working knowledge of RTCA/DO-160, SAE, and MIL-STD standards.
- Regulatory knowledge: Familiarity with airworthiness requirements under TCCA, FAA, and EASA.
- Collaboration: Proven experience working alongside multidisciplinary engineering teams and external suppliers.
About the Role
Our client, a major aircraft manufacturer, is hiring an Electrical Engineer to join its Systems Integration team. This role owns the electrical side of the aircraft: power generation, power distribution, and lighting systems, from initial design through certification and into in-service support. You'll work across the full product lifecycle, partnering with suppliers and cross-functional engineering groups to make sure these systems meet performance, safety, and regulatory requirements at every stage.
What You'll Do
- Own the electrical engineering scope on power generation, power distribution, and lighting systems - from design and integration through to in-service support.
- Drive certification, testing, and validation work, making sure electrical systems clear regulatory and airworthiness milestones on schedule.
- Apply RTCA/DO-160, SAE, and MIL-STD standards, and keep designs aligned with TCCA, FAA, and EASA airworthiness requirements.
- Work daily with multidisciplinary engineering teams and external suppliers to troubleshoot issues and keep integration on track.
- Run trade studies and assess new technologies for integration into existing or future electrical systems.
- Push continuous improvement on system performance, reliability, and safety.
Nice to Have
- Specific hands-on experience with aircraft lighting systems, not just power generation and distribution.
- A track record of leading trade studies or introducing new technology into an existing aircraft platform.
- Demonstrated success collaborating across disciplines in a regulated aerospace environment.
