Top Engineering Jobs

Leads manufacturing engineering across multiple programs, optimizing processes for throughput, quality, and cost. Responsibilities include scaling production, launching a new jet production line, deploying equipment and tooling, integrating automation and hardware/software systems, coordinating with vendors and cross-functional teams, standardizing performance improvements, and mentoring engineers and production personnel.

Leads advanced manufacturing engineering across multiple defense and aerospace programs. Responsibilities include defining manufacturing processes, mapping material bills of manufacturing, designing workstations and tooling, creating controlled work instructions, conducting time studies, improving throughput through lean methods, implementing MES/QMS systems, supporting quality and first article inspection readiness, managing engineering change orders, and mentoring engineers during new production-line development.

Supports manufacturing process development, tooling and fixture design, documentation, prototype builds, NPI, production ramp-up, and continuous improvement for aerospace systems. Partners with engineering, quality, operations, and supply chain to improve manufacturability, troubleshoot production issues, conduct root cause analysis, validate processes, and ensure compliance with engineering and quality requirements.

Owns aircraft avionics thermal management from architecture and requirements through analysis, qualification, and production. Develops and validates heat-transfer and CFD models, leads thermal trade studies, defines testing and verification strategies, and integrates active and passive cooling solutions. The role influences electrical, PCBA, mechanical, and systems design; evaluates suppliers; manages thermal risks; presents technical findings; and mentors engineers across cross-functional teams.

Develop and maintain autonomy integration environments, reference configurations, automated software-in-the-loop and hardware-in-the-loop tests, integration tools, and vehicle or hardware interfaces. Debug failures across planning, controls, simulation, perception, deployment, network, timing, and hardware boundaries. Support autonomy stack deployment, lab and flight testing, failure analysis, documentation, and technical collaboration across multidisciplinary teams.

Lead integration of autonomy components into reference implementations and deployable stacks. Develop C++ and Python tooling, software-in-the-loop and hardware-in-the-loop tests, platform integration layers, automated fixtures, and troubleshooting workflows. Investigate cross-system failures, support deployment to representative hardware, collaborate on flight testing, analyze integration issues, and create documentation and training materials. The role spans perception, localization, planning, real-time systems, and safety-critical autonomous platforms.

Design and implement high-performance middleware, runtime services, tooling, and foundational software for Shield AI’s EdgeOS and Hivemind autonomy systems. Develop across Linux, real-time operating systems, and resource-constrained embedded platforms. Contribute to interface definition languages, debugging and observability tools, automated testing, documentation, architecture, code reviews, technical guidance, and mentorship while collaborating with autonomy, systems, simulation, and test engineering teams.

Develop and maintain internal full-stack applications using C#/Blazor or Python. Build CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure automation with GitLab, Azure DevOps, GitHub, Artifactory, and SonarQube. Partner with cross-functional teams to improve software delivery, code quality, security, compliance, and operational visibility. Implement scalable enterprise solutions, infrastructure as code, secure development practices, and DevSecOps workflows.

Fabricate, instrument, assemble, and test aerospace prototype hardware and X-BAT flight-ready structures. Install sensors, route cabling, integrate data acquisition systems, perform mechanical and MIL-STD testing, document results, troubleshoot anomalies, maintain equipment records, and support machine shop, composite, and prototype fabrication activities.

Leads the technical vision, architecture, development, integration, verification, operationalization, and lifecycle evolution of autonomy systems for national-security space missions. Oversees multi-constellation tasking, sensor coordination, hybrid processing, data exploitation, dissemination, mission assurance, technical risk, customer technical engagement, and readiness for testing and operations. Builds and mentors multidisciplinary engineering teams while balancing mission performance, cost, schedule, security, and reliability.
