This role owns those seams. You'll define the systems architecture and the interfaces across electrical, mechanical, and logical boundaries, then prove it works: building hardware-in-the-loop rigs and integration benches, integrating real hardware onto prototype airframes, and standing on the ramp during ground runs and flight test when something doesn't behave.\nArchitecture through flight data, end to end - with fast feedback loops and real hardware in the room.\nWhat You'll Do\nArchitect the systems. Design and define the overall aircraft systems architecture in close collaboration with mechanical, electrical, software, and flight controls disciplines.\n\nControl the interfaces. Define, manage, and document Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and system interfaces across electrical, mechanical, and logical boundaries.\n\nProduce the specifications. Create detailed system schematics, architecture models, technical write-ups, and comprehensive system descriptions.\n\nSelect and manage suppliers. Partner with supply chain and procurement to evaluate, select, and manage technical relationships with key hardware and system suppliers.\n\nBuild the test rigs. Lead the design, build, and commissioning of hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test rigs and integration benches to validate system behaviour before flight.\n\nIntegrate the systems. Bring avionics, actuators, power distribution, communication links, and sensor payloads together on test benches and prototype airframes.\n\nTroubleshoot at the system level. Diagnose complex anomalies across electrical power, signal integrity, communication protocols (CAN, Ethernet, RS-422/485), and software interfaces.\n\nSupport manufacturing. Work with the production team during assembly, wiring harness routing, component installation, and initial powered-on checks.\n\nSupport flight test. Provide real-time engineering support during ground runs, pre-flight checks, taxi tests, and envelope expansion flight testing.\n\nClose the loop on flight data. Analyze post-flight system telemetry to resolve discrepancies and optimize overall system performance and reliability.\n\nWhat You Bring\nDegree in Electrical, Aerospace, Systems, or Mechatronics Engineering, or equivalent.\n\nProven aircraft or vehicle systems integration experience across electrical, mechanical, and software boundaries.\n\nHands-on ICD definition and interface management.\n\nHIL rig and integration bench design and build experience.\n\nSystem-level troubleshooting across electrical power, signal integrity, and communication buses (CAN, Ethernet, RS-422/485).\n\nFlight test or ground test support experience - you've supported live test, not just bench work.\n\nNice to Have\nUncrewed or autonomous platform integration.\n\nWiring harness design and power distribution architecture.\n\nFlight telemetry and post-flight data analysis tooling.\n\nSensor payload and communication link integration.\n\nArctic or austere-environment field test experience.\n\nNo defence background required.\nWe've hired people who didn't tick every box. If this is the work you want to do, please apply anyway.\nWhy Join Us\nBuilding something meaningful starts with the right people.\nAt Dominion Dynamics, you’ll:\nShape Canada’s future by building real defence capability for the CAF and our allies.\n\nMake decisions that ship in a high-trust environment with short feedback loops and rapid iteration.\n\nMove fast, field faster, and work directly with the operator - our systems are in the field with the CAF now.\n\nHave an impact from day one with equity, responsibility, and direct access to leadership.\n\nIf you’re curious, hands-on, and driven by the opportunity to make a difference, this is where you belong!\nCompensation & Benefits\nCompetitive base salary and company equity*\n\nComprehensive health benefits\n\nAdditional equity granted based on impact*\n\nWe use AI tools to support parts of the hiring process, including screening and reviewing responses. Final hiring decisions are always made by people and follow all applicable privacy and employment laws in Canada.\n*Equity awarded to full time employees only.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4299,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["C4ISR"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-04T11:39:39Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":51,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.68,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":24,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:3","win:late"],"computed_at":"2026-11-09T06:03:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/dominion-dynamics-aircraft-systems-integrator","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/dominion-dynamics-aircraft-systems-integrator.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-10T06:22:00Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":14802,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-11T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":43023},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=43023"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fdominion-dynamics-aircraft-systems-integrator"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fdominion-dynamics-aircraft-systems-integrator"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fdominion-dynamics-aircraft-systems-integrator"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/dominion-dynamics-aircraft-systems-integrator\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fdominion-dynamics-aircraft-systems-integrator"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3740451}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"defendthedominion.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3740451},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
