Teams at Whisper Aero

Design, analyze, and optimize aircraft propulsion structures using finite element and classical methods. Evaluate strength, deflection, vibration, fatigue, and damage tolerance; develop structural layouts, sizing tools, material allowables, technical reports, and testing support. Collaborate with design, flight sciences, hardware, customers, and contractors throughout project lifecycles. Preferred expertise includes aeroelasticity, structural dynamics, rotor blades, electric machines, composites, CNC machining, prototyping, and AI-assisted development workflows.

Designs and executes ground tests for electric aircraft propulsors, including strain, modal, acoustic, aerodynamic, and performance testing. Builds test rigs, selects and troubleshoots instrumentation, operates data acquisition systems, analyzes large datasets using MATLAB and Python, and leads test readiness reviews. Collaborates cross-functionally, mentors junior engineers, and supports propulsion development through experimental insights.

Drives defense-sector growth by identifying and capturing government opportunities, managing relationships with defense stakeholders, supporting proposals and contract execution, and aligning customer needs with product and engineering teams. The role develops defense strategies, monitors policies and budgets, supports government engagements, communicates Whisper Aero’s value proposition, and builds stakeholder maps. It requires defense business development or acquisition experience, government contracting knowledge, TS/SCI eligibility, and 25%–50% travel.
