Jobs at LAT Aerospace

As a Rotordynamics Engineer, you will analyze and design rotating assemblies for gas turbine systems, ensuring safety and reliability at high RPM.

Design and take digital, analog, and mixed-signal PCBs from architecture through layout, fabrication, bring-up, testing, and production. Address signal/power integrity, grounding, thermal, and EMI/EMC. Define hardware-firmware interfaces, debug and characterize boards, develop test fixtures, and manage BOMs, documentation, and vendor assembly.

Design and iterate aerodynamic surfaces and OMLs using CAD; own CFD workflows (geometry, meshing, solving, automation, post-processing); develop aerodynamic databases and surrogate models for performance, loads, and stability; analyze high-lift, blown-wing, and propulsion-airframe interactions; maintain version-controlled datasets and improve internal aerodynamic tools and workflows.

Design, develop, and validate high-power aerospace power electronics including converters, distribution, motor controllers, PCB layouts, thermal and failure analysis, prototype bring-up, testing, and documentation for hybrid-electric powertrains.

Design, develop, and validate embedded firmware across low-level drivers to application control for safety-critical aerospace systems. Build drivers, implement communication protocols, debug hardware/firmware, create HIL and automated tests, and maintain documentation, version control, and firmware release processes.

Design and implement repeatable manufacturing processes for aircraft structures and propulsion prototypes. Plan production schedules, optimize shop layout and machine use, manage suppliers and inventory, create work instructions and quality controls, support rapid prototyping and scale to low-volume production while tracking manufacturing metrics and driving continuous improvement.

Create and maintain detailed 3D models and 2D drawings for mechanical components and assemblies, apply DFM principles, manage complex assemblies and BOMs, ensure compliance with standards/GD&T, collaborate with engineering and manufacturing, manage CAD data in PDM, and support design reviews.

Design and own end-to-end RF systems for radar/defence: architecture, waveform and receive-chain design, RF front-ends, antennas and arrays, calibration, lab/field validation, and production hardening. Use EM and circuit simulation tools, RF lab instruments, and scripting to iterate designs and run target-tracking field tests.

Design and implement end-to-end radar signal processing: dechirp/Range-Doppler, detection (CFAR), beamforming, angle estimation, target classification and multi-target tracking. Prototype on SDRs, move algorithms to real-time FPGA/SoC/DSP/GPU targets, plan and execute field data collection, and iterate against real-world clutter and ground truth.
