Additionally, you will review and approve technical documentation, lead design reviews, and provide crucial guidance and mentorship to junior engineers.

What We’re Looking For Education & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering or a related technical discipline (6+ years of relevant experience; higher-level degree may substitute for experience).

• Demonstrated experience leading engineering tasks and mentoring junior engineers within multidisciplinary design and development teams.

• Strong background in applying core engineering principles and practices throughout the full product development lifecycle.

Must-Have Skills

• Aerospace System Design & Analysis: Proven ability to lead the design, development, and testing of complex aerospace components and systems.

• CAE & CFD Simulations: Solid understanding of Computer-Aided Engineering tools, specifically Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations.

• Project & Technical Leadership: Experience conducting design reviews, managing project timelines/resources, approving technical reports, and mentoring team members.

• Stakeholder Collaboration: Skill in interfacing effectively with internal and external stakeholders to achieve project goals.

Nice-to-Have Skills (Preferred)

• Master’s degree or Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering.

• Experience with CFD software (specifically StarCCM+) and high-performance computing on Linux platforms.

• Hands-on expertise in developing aircraft aerodynamic databases, heat transfer analysis, static stability, component loads, and aircraft performance analysis.

• Experience with wind tunnel testing, flight testing, store separation, or 6DOF analysis.

• Knowledge of parametric design, Model-Based Definition (MBD), and flight mechanics fundamentals in an Aerospace & Defense environment.
