Support planning, coordination and delivery of hydrogen-electric R&D programmes. Maintain project plans, budgets, risk registers, change control and action tracking. Coordinate grant-funded submissions and milestone reporting, present programme governance updates, and foster cross-functional collaboration across engineering, testing, supply chain and finance to drive project outcomes.

Define, author and manage aircraft-, system- and equipment-level requirements for fuel-cell aerospace systems. Ensure end-to-end traceability, validate requirements, develop item-level specifications, manage interface and supplier requirement flow-down, support certification, and promote requirements engineering best practices across teams.

Lead development and optimisation of manufacturing processes for hydrogen-electric propulsion systems, supporting prototype, certification and low-rate production. Drive DFMA-informed design changes, tooling specification, process validation, quality/compliance activities, continuous improvement, and cross-functional collaboration to transition products from development to serial production.

Lead strategy, development, certification and industrialisation of hydrogen fuel cell systems, aircraft hydrogen fuel systems and ground refuelling infrastructure. Provide technical governance across systems engineering, controls, safety, integration, verification and validation. Build and lead multidisciplinary engineering teams, manage programme delivery (resources, budgets, schedules, risks), and drive certification readiness and regulatory compliance across aerospace programmes.

Design, implement, verify, and integrate safety-critical embedded software for hydrogen-electric propulsion controller platforms. Produce requirements, architecture, tests, and lifecycle artifacts, and support certification and hardware/software integration.

Lead development, testing and certification of a multi-platform aerospace fuel cell system; maintain technical integrity, manage cross-team design work, drive corrective actions, report progress, identify risks, and mentor engineering teams to meet programme milestones under ZeroAvia's Design Organisation requirements.

Lead planning and execution of validation, integration, verification, and environmental qualification (IVVQ) test campaigns for the ZA200 fuel cell propulsion system. Develop and maintain V&V, integration, and qualification plans, authorise test specifications and procedures, lead defect investigation and IVVQ reviews, and represent verification activities at design reviews. Collaborate with Airworthiness, Certification, Safety, Test, and Design to deliver compliant IVVQ in line with ARP4754B/ARP4761A and programme schedules.

Lead development of control algorithms and multi-domain plant models for hydrogen-electric propulsion. Specify and validate closed-loop performance, design observers/estimators/fault monitoring, drive control architecture and verification (MIL/SIL/HIL), and act as technical authority ensuring safety, certification, and system performance for airworthy embedded software.

Lead mechanical design for complex aerospace components: own CAD/PLM data, create NX 3D models and ASME production drawings, apply GD&T and materials/manufacturing knowledge, perform supporting analysis/simulations, lead design reviews, liaise with manufacturing, and mentor junior engineers.

Lead design and development of air delivery systems for hydrogen fuel cell powertrains from concept to certification-ready designs. Own aerothermal architecture, requirements capture, component specification, simulation (1D/3D), CAD/PLM documentation, test rig development and supplier integration. Drive stakeholder and supply-chain technical alignment, run validation testing, and support certification activities.

Design, model, and maintain complex mechanical components and assemblies using 3D CAD (NX preferred). Produce ASME-compliant 2D production drawings, manage CAD assets in PLM, apply GD&T and materials/manufacturing knowledge, support stress/thermal/fluid analysis, and collaborate with cross-functional teams and manufacturers to resolve design issues and ensure aerospace regulatory alignment.

Lead aerothermal design and development of air delivery systems for hydrogen fuel cell powertrains from concept through certification. Own system architecture, requirements capture, component design, simulation (1D/3D), testing, supplier integration, and validation. Work across multidisciplinary teams to develop test rigs, host design reviews, and ensure certification readiness.
