Avionics AIT Manager

About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential aerospace organization building cutting-edge defense technology in Europe. Our talent team is seeking an Avionics AIT Manager to join a highly technical, mission-driven environment in Munich. This is a rare opportunity to work on sovereign capability projects with direct impact on European technological independence.

You will own the full assembly, integration, and test lifecycle for avionics hardware—from component level through vehicle integration—working alongside a small, elite engineering team solving complex problems at pace.

Responsibilities

• Own avionics Assembly, Integration, and Test (AIT) delivery, ensuring hardware is built, integrated, and verified correctly from component level through vehicle integration
• Develop avionics assembly, integration, and test procedures directly from requirements and engineering drawings
• Translate design intent into clear, executable build instructions, defining tooling, torque specifications, parts, consumables, work sequences, and verification steps
• Define and maintain avionics wiring, harness, and pinout diagrams, ensuring correct electrical interfaces and configuration control
• Create and execute avionics test procedures, validating functionality, interfaces, and readiness prior to higher-level integration
• Ensure avionics AIT activities meet quality, reliability, and safety standards suitable for aerospace and defense environments
• Work closely with avionics design, systems, and vehicle AIT teams to resolve integration issues and close design-for-integration gaps
• Identify and ensure availability of tools, fixtures, consumables, and test equipment required to support build and integration activities
• Support production of consistent, repeatable avionics builds by enforcing process discipline and configuration control
• Own avionics-related non-conformance identification, documentation, and resolution, feeding lessons learned back into design and process updates
• Enable smooth progression from bench-level avionics testing to vehicle-level integration

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience as an Avionics AIT Manager or Senior Avionics Integration Engineer with hands-on experience in electronics or electrical assembly environments
• Background in aerospace avionics manufacturing and assembly is preferred; automotive electronics experience also acceptable
• Demonstrated experience developing avionics wiring diagrams, harness definitions, and pinouts
• Comfortable creating and executing avionics assembly and test procedures from engineering drawings and requirements
• Strong understanding of electronic hardware build processes, tooling, torque control, and workmanship standards
• Detail-oriented with a strong instinct for process discipline, quality, and repeatability
• Comfortable working across disciplines, coordinating with design, systems, and vehicle integration teams
• Hands-on and pragmatic, able to support build and testing activities directly when required
• Confident managing multiple avionics workstreams and maintaining configuration control under schedule pressure
• Motivated by taking complex avionics systems from drawings to integrated, verified, flight-ready hardware
