Senior Principal Technician – Onboard Telemetry (UAE National)

About the role

We are looking for a highly motivated Senior Principal Technician to lead the design, development and integration of onboard telemetry systems for precision‑guided munitions and advanced weapon platforms. The role supports flight‑test activities, data acquisition, signal conditioning and post‑test analysis within a collaborative engineering environment.

Key responsibilities

• Design, develop and maintain telemetry packs (tel‑packs) ensuring compliance with customer and industry standards.
• Create and manage telemetry design data packs, technical documentation and configuration records.
• Design analog signal‑conditioning circuits for telemetry instrumentation and data‑acquisition systems.
• Install, configure and validate onboard telemetry equipment for flight‑test programs.
• Develop and execute acceptance, verification and validation procedures.
• Prepare and maintain telemetry metadata for PCM, Arcnet and onboard weapon communication systems per ICDs.
• Support flight‑test activities, including real‑time telemetry monitoring and data reception.
• Perform data reduction, processing and analysis using MATLAB and other engineering tools.
• Generate post‑flight test reports and provide technical recommendations.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to integrate telemetry with weapon, seeker, servo and other subsystems.
• Troubleshoot and resolve electronic subsystem and production test failures through root‑cause analysis.

Required profile

• Diploma in Electronic, Electrical, Mechatronics, Aerospace Engineering or a closely related discipline.
• 7‑10 years of experience in telemetry system design, development and flight‑test support.
• Proven experience with precision‑guided munitions or advanced weapon systems is preferred.

Required skills

• Telemetry system design and integration
• Analog signal‑conditioning circuit design
• Data acquisition and instrumentation
• MATLAB for data analysis
• Engineering software for verification and validation
• Root‑cause analysis and troubleshooting of electronic subsystems
• Compliance with Interface Control Documents (ICDs)
