As an Aircraft Development Engineer on the Advanced Systems team, you will drive the cross-functional development workflow for new aircraft concepts. You will coordinate multidisciplinary trades, maintain integrated development artifacts, identify and retire technical risks, and assemble engineering evidence to support timely program decisions.

  • Track major assumptions, risks, interfaces, dependencies, and actions
  • Mature aircraft configurations and installation concepts
  • Identify cross-functional issues early and coordinate closure with responsible teams
  • Communicate progress, unresolved issues, trade outcomes, and recommended actions

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, Systems, or Electrical Engineering, or a related field
  • 5+ years of aircraft, aerospace, or complex product-development experience
  • Experience integrating multiple engineering disciplines on a hardware product
  • Working knowledge of aircraft configuration, systems, structures, propulsion integration, manufacturing, or test
  • Experience preparing and presenting trade studies, technical reviews, or decision-support materials
  • Ability to structure ambiguous technical work into clear actions, decisions, and artifacts
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Must be a US Person to be considered for the role

Above and Beyond Qualifications:

  • Experience supporting a new aircraft, prototype, demonstrator, or complex aerospace product
  • Experience with aircraft configuration, propulsion installation, or multidisciplinary trades
  • Experience in preliminary or detailed design, build, integration, ground test, or flight test
  • Familiarity with requirements, interface management, verification planning, or configuration control
  • Experience with external suppliers, technical partners, or government-funded aerospace programs
  • Familiarity with electric aircraft, advanced propulsion, energy systems, or emerging architectures
  • Experience using CAD, 3DX, MBSE, analysis, or program-management tools for integrated development
