Jobs at AEVEX Aerospace

Develop and deploy embedded Linux and microcontroller software (C/C++) for unmanned autonomous systems. Integrate sensors and middleware (ROS1/2, DDS, zmq), use Docker and CI/CD, collaborate across disciplines, perform full lifecycle development, and support fleet deployment and production tooling. Work includes system integration with GPS/LiDAR/IMU, code reviews, and maintaining configuration and release processes.

Lead cross-functional teams to manage development, assembly, and delivery of unmanned aircraft programs that incorporate additive manufactured components. Oversee planning, IMS, cost/schedule/performance/risk, subcontractor management, airworthiness compliance, and customer engagement. Support capture and proposals, drive operational readiness, rapid prototyping/low-rate production, and continuous improvement while maintaining safety, configuration management, and high team performance.

Design, develop, test, and maintain embedded Linux, Windows, and microcontroller software (primarily C/C++) for real‑time headless devices. Integrate sensors and communications hardware, support SIL/HIL and flight testing, debug defects, document designs, and follow development lifecycle standards.

Manage technical programs for airborne ISR payloads: develop system requirements and acquisition documents, track technical performance and schedules, prepare briefs/reports, coordinate meetings and logistics, assess O&M technical and financial risk, and provide field support including CONUS and periodic OCONUS travel for maintenance, testing, and upgrades.

Lead engineering project execution for an Unmanned Aerial System program, develop and manage project plans, align cross-discipline teams, chair design reviews (SRR/PDR/CDR/FDR), approve engineering changes, and drive root-cause corrective actions. Provide technical authority, status briefings, and support integrated scheduling and verification activities across the product lifecycle.

Lead stress analyses for metallic and composite aircraft structures to demonstrate compliance with FAA Part 23/25. Perform loads development, hand calculations, FEM modeling, fatigue & damage tolerance assessments, produce formal structural substantiation and F&DT reports, develop macros, interface with design engineers, and support certification documentation and testing.

Design, develop, and test embedded Linux and microcontroller software for navigation, autonomy, sensor fusion, and collaboration features. Integrate ROS1/2, Docker, and middleware; participate in requirements, design, implementation, testing, debugging, deployment, code reviews, and configuration management. Evaluate technologies and support project development.

Supports production by deploying inspection processes, performing root cause analysis, implementing corrective/preventive actions, and driving continuous improvement to ensure assemblies meet aerospace quality and AS9100 requirements. Works cross-functionally to maintain documentation, inspection planning, and process capability.

Lead and govern supply chain compliance programs for Aerospace & Defense, ensuring adherence to FAR/DFARS, export controls (ITAR/EAR), and CMMC. Partner cross-functionally to integrate flow-down requirements, support audits and corrective actions, run supplier assessments and investigations, deliver compliance training, drive process improvements, oversee controls and reporting, and advise leadership on regulatory changes and risk mitigation.

Lead and oversee engineering for a UAS product portfolio: own technical performance, drive design decisions, chair governance boards, integrate R&D capabilities, manage staffing and resources, ensure compliance and traceability, mentor engineering teams, and align engineering efforts with portfolio strategy to meet cost, schedule, and quality objectives.

Lead manufacturing engineering to transition UAV/USV designs to production: create assembly work instructions, tooling, fixtures, and test methods; optimize processes, layout, MRP and production planning; analyze costs and quality; train technicians; coordinate maintenance; ensure regulatory compliance and support cross-functional teams.

Lead and direct worldwide, time-sensitive intelligence missions in a 24/7 operations center. Coordinate multi-organizational teams and collection platforms to satisfy requirements, deploy domestically and internationally, make operational decisions, and deliver actionable intelligence against high-priority national security threats.

Design, implement, test, and deploy embedded Linux and microcontroller software for navigation and autonomy. Integrate middleware (ROS1/2), containerization (Docker), sensor fusion, and collaboration features. Participate across the SDLC: requirements, design, implementation, code review, testing, CI/CD, and deployment. Support tech evaluation and coordinate alpha/beta testing.

Lead development and improvement of manufacturing processes, tooling, workflow, and testing. Support MRP and production planning, generate process documentation and reports, coordinate maintenance, ensure regulatory compliance, and train technicians to meet production and quality goals.

Lead and manage an embedded systems software team developing autonomy, control, and mission systems for UAS platforms. Provide technical direction, oversee multiple projects, integrate sensors and communications, implement containerized and networked designs, maintain real-time and embedded Linux systems, and ensure CI/CD, SIL/HIL testing, and long-term software support while interfacing with program management, systems, flight test, customers, and leadership.

Lead a software team as a player/coach across the full development lifecycle for Windows and embedded applications. Provide technical leadership, mentor engineers, drive requirements, design, implementation, testing, and troubleshooting. Integrate HIL/SIL and real-time simulation, reduce latency, and synchronize hardware. Manage multiple projects, enforce best practices, and align team performance with company culture and policies.

Manage and mentor an electrical engineering team to design, test, and manufacture avionics and electrical systems. Oversee resource allocation, budgets, supplier relationships, compliance, and technical communication with stakeholders while contributing to project deliverables and continuous process improvement.

Develop, operate, and maintain enterprise applications supporting IMS business areas. Design and implement RESTful services and SOA using Java and Spring Boot, work with cloud (AWS/C2S), relational databases, Linux environments, IDEs, and collaborate across teams to integrate records management and evolving architecture requirements.

Lead end-to-end business operations programs, coordinating cross-functional teams to define scope, drive execution, and measure outcomes. Develop roadmaps, status reporting, change management, and process improvements. Analyze operational data, implement tools and automation, manage costs/schedules/risks, ensure safety/compliance, and mentor team members while engaging senior leadership and customers.

Lead design, development, and testing of electrical systems for unmanned systems. Oversee component selection, schematics, PCB design, integration, flight test readiness, troubleshooting, R&D transition to production, and lead engineering teams.
