ARINC is an established engineering company comprised of more than 3,000 highly skilled employees and revenues exceeding $1 Billion. A dynamic, progressive leader, ARINC provides critical engineering solutions in the aerospace and defense, airports, aviation, government, networks, security and transportation industries.

ARINC’s Industry Activities Division in Annapolis, MD is recruiting a Network and Security Project Engineer to support the activities of the Airlines Electronic Engineering Committee (AEEC) - a recognized leader in international standards development.

ARINC’s Industry Activities organizes air transport industry activities that lead to the development and publication of ARINC Standards. This includes technical solutions and standards that no one independent organization could accomplish on its own. The resulting standards and solutions improve cost effectiveness, increase productivity, and reduce life cycle costs. Value is created for the airlines; aircraft and flight simulator manufacturers; avionics suppliers; and aviation maintenance, training, and communication service providers.

ARINC Industry Activities Organized Conferences and Committees include:

AEEC (est. 1949) Airlines Electronic Engineering Committee conducts technical investigations and evaluations to develop airline driven standards for avionics throughout the aircraft. Members include airlines from the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Business Aviation.

AMC (est 1949) Avionics Maintenance Conference promotes reliability and reduced operating costs in avionics by improving maintenance through cooperation. Conducts annual Avionics Maintenance Conference with over 700 attending, more than 65 airlines and nearly 200 other organizations.

FSEMC- (est 1994) Flight Simulator Engineering & Maintenance Conference provides real, immediate, cost-effective solutions to simulator operational and maintenance issues, creates simulation standards that increase simulator readiness and reduce operational cost and increases emphasis on integrated systems, software and product support, data packages, and intellectual property considerations.

The Network and Security Project Engineer will be responsible for the following tasks:
- Preparing technical material for introduction into ARINC Standards.
- Working closely with subject matter experts in industry, supporting the overall effort to define new aircraft requirements, new airspace requirements and the associated development of international standards for aircraft, software applications, network and cyber-security, and electronics fitted on commercial air transport aircraft.
