- Serve as the principal engineering interface to strategic technology partners for advanced component research, evaluation, and technical specification.
- Champion Design for X principles (e.g., Performance, Reliability, Test, Upgradeability) from early design stages.
- Oversee selection and mastery of advanced engineering tools (MBSE, CAD/CAE, CFD, FEA, virtual prototyping, digital twin) to accelerate design cycles and rigorously validate system performance.
- Communicate design maturity, technical risks, and strategic technology insertion plans to senior leadership.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace, Electrical, Mechanical, Systems Engineering, or a related field.
- 10+ years progressive leadership in aerospace system architecture, deep technical design, and full lifecycle development of complex autonomous flight systems, including leading multi-disciplinary design teams through conceptualization, detailed design, and rigorous validation.
- Proven ability to define, decompose, and manage complex system requirements, architecting innovative solutions and guiding technical trade-offs.
- Strong track record delivering groundbreaking, high-performing aerospace designs, balancing ambition with rigorous analysis and integrity.
- Deep and broad understanding of aerospace system architecture, flight dynamics, propulsion, avionics, sensor integration, autonomy hardware/software, and complex flight control systems.
- Expertise in Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and proficiency with advanced analytical/simulation tools (CFD, FEA, MATLAB/Simulink) for design optimization and performance prediction.
- Excellent problem-solving skills with a data-driven, first-principles-based, and results-oriented mindset.
- Effective communicator capable of driving alignment across highly technical, multi-disciplinary engineering teams and influencing senior technical and business stakeholders.
- Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Post-graduate degree (Master's or Ph.D.) in a relevant engineering discipline.
- Experience architecting entirely new aerospace platforms or revolutionary system concepts from a blank slate.
- Direct experience integrating AI/ML-driven decision-making, perception, and advanced autonomy into core flight system designs.
