Jobs at Sierra Nevada Corp

Lead complex logistics projects for ISR and aviation programs, optimize storage and inventory, ensure import/export compliance, coordinate with stakeholders, mentor junior logistics staff, and maintain accurate records of equipment, repair parts, and manuals to support timely material delivery.

Participate in a military fellowship performing systems engineering tasks: research, architect, model, simulate, test, certify and improve ISR/aviation systems. Develop complex system architectures using modeling platforms, manage requirements, lead system-level ownership through design, simulation, verification and validation throughout the product lifecycle.

Designs and executes test plans for aircraft, ISR payloads, and integrated systems. Develops procedures, conducts Verification & Validation (V&V), documents results, troubleshoots hardware/software, and improves test processes across product lifecycles using industry test tools and certification practices.

Participate in a DoD SkillBridge fellowship developing subcontract specifications, preparing bid packages, evaluating proposals, negotiating subcontract terms, administering FFP and T&M subcontracts across the contract lifecycle, selecting subcontractors, and monitoring subcontractor performance for ISR, Aviation, and Security programs.

Six-month fellowship for active-duty service members to perform systems engineering work: research, architecture, modeling, simulation, test, certification, and lifecycle ownership. Responsibilities include requirements management, systems integration, V&V, MBSE activities, and cross-functional collaboration in ISR, aviation, and security programs.

Six-month fellowship for active-duty service members to gain on-the-job experience as a Project Engineer in ISR/Aviation/Security. Work includes systems design, integration, requirements management, multidisciplinary team collaboration, reading technical drawings, and supporting project estimates, proposals, cost and schedule management. Role requires strong engineering fundamentals and familiarity with program baseline definition and trade-study analysis.

Participate in on-the-job electrical engineering work: research, design, develop, test, certify, deploy and improve electronic systems from circuit cards to integrated aerospace and defense systems while collaborating in multidisciplinary teams during a SkillBridge fellowship.

Design, develop, test, and troubleshoot electrical/electronic systems and circuit card assemblies for aerospace/defense platforms. Create technical designs, test plans, and documentation; participate in design reviews, collaborate with cross-functional teams, validate systems, and mentor junior engineers.

Support fellowship participants by managing projects within ISR/Aviation/Security business area. Plan, track, and execute project scope, schedules, budgets, resources, and risks; use MS Office and PM tools; collaborate with teams and stakeholders; work independently in fast-paced, regulated defense environment while meeting program requirements and clearance constraints.

Lead and execute complex systems integration across hardware and software, manage requirements and configuration, develop and run V&V test plans, troubleshoot and resolve technical issues, set up lab/test environments, and coordinate multidisciplinary teams for aerospace and defense systems.

Design and develop aircraft Electrical Wiring and Interconnection Systems (EWIS) in a digital PLM environment: harness routing, component selection, cross-discipline coordination, flight test/manufacturing liaison, process improvement, and mentoring junior engineers.

Lead multidisciplinary teams to manage aerospace systems integration projects from concept through certification and delivery. Oversee scope, schedule, budget, risk mitigation, verification/validation and airworthiness documentation, and act as technical lead for customers, suppliers, and stakeholders.

Six-month fellowship providing on-the-job aerospace stability and control engineering experience. Duties include applying engineering principles, CAE/FEA and simulation tools, collaborating with multidisciplinary design teams, supporting aircraft external loads, performance, stability and control analyses, and contributing to wind tunnel and flight test activities and system-level modeling.

Develop and refine detailed designs, technical drawings, and 3D models for aerospace and defense projects using advanced CAD and CAE tools. Lead design efforts, ensure standards and regulatory compliance, resolve design issues, coordinate with multidisciplinary teams, prepare documentation, mentor junior designers, and support design reviews and process improvements.

Manage material flow across product lifecycle: review MBOMs, control revisions in ERP, create/process orders, allocate inventory, monitor levels, resolve material/scheduling issues, use MRP/MES, and collaborate cross-functionally to meet production and delivery schedules.

Provide independent legal advice across business operations including contract negotiation, compliance, IP, government contracting, and stakeholder training. Support senior counsel and oversee outside counsel on discrete matters.

Lead design, development, and testing of RF/E3 systems for aerospace/defense. Perform E3/EMI analyses, co-site and HEMP analysis, create E3IAR, EMICP, EMITP/EMITR, support TEMPEST, and ensure MIL-STD-464/461 compliance while collaborating with multidisciplinary teams.

Lead complex R&D projects in radiometric and optical systems, build and apply models, design and run experiments, analyze and present data, mentor scientists, ensure regulatory and safety compliance, and collaborate on component and system-level solutions within ISR/aviation programs.

Provide field-level product support and integration for tactical datalinks (Link-16, MANET, TRAX), support deployments and training, travel up to 50%, and ensure mission readiness and customer support for tactical communications systems.

Serve as subject-matter liaison for aircraft mechanical systems (ECS, water/waste, control and structures). Provide troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, engineering dispositions, and test support across production, integration, ground and flight tests. Interpret drawings, AMMs, ICDs and requirements, coordinate cross-functional resolution, document corrective actions, and mentor junior engineers while supporting continuous improvement.
