Top Engineering Jobs

Design, install, validate, and maintain flight test instrumentation and DAQ systems for autonomous VTOL aircraft. Configure sensors and telemetry, ensure synchronized, high-integrity data capture, perform pre/post-flight checks, troubleshoot issues, support field and engine/hover test campaigns, and collaborate with Flight Test, Avionics, Autonomy, and Safety teams.

Lead thermal design, analysis, and integration for UAV avionics and custom power electronics. Develop and validate hand-calculation, CFD, and numerical models. Drive trade studies, test planning, instrumentation, and model correlation. Provide technical leadership, mentor junior engineers, and influence PCB/part selection and enclosure thermal designs to meet aerospace requirements.

Lead design, analysis, and integration of avionics thermal management for unmanned aircraft. Develop and validate analytical, numerical, and CFD models, plan and run thermal tests, correlate data, advise PCBA and electrical design, and present technical findings while mentoring peers and driving robust thermal solutions.

Design and develop complex structural systems for autonomous aircraft launch and recovery. Own concept-to-production CAD design, perform kinematic and structural analysis, prototype and test mechanisms, support integration and flight testing, and collaborate across disciplines to ensure manufacturability and reliability.

Support avionics and power systems for the X-BAT aircraft: set up and execute benchtop and environmental test campaigns, debug PCBAs and harnesses, design simple PCBAs/fixtures, assist avionics lab buildout, and collaborate with cross-functional teams on high-voltage power systems (generators, batteries, converters).

Design and develop complex electro-mechanical mechanisms for autonomous UAVs. Own concept through drawing release, perform kinematic and structural calculations, run preliminary FEA, prototype and test mechanisms, and support pre-production builds and flight testing while collaborating with cross-functional teams.

Entry-level electrical engineer owning a design for X-BAT avionics through concept, design, verification, integration, flight test, and manufacturing. Work includes circuit design (analog, digital, power conversion, high-speed, FPGA, MCU), system integration, environmental qualification, EMI/EMC considerations, debugging, and designing for radiation, temperature extremes, vibration, and high reliability.

Lead system architecture, design, risk mitigation, and integration of Hivemind autonomy on UAS. Manage a team to deliver production-ready autonomous capabilities for DoD and commercial contracts, provide technical leadership across IRAD and government programs, and support proposals and customer-facing engineering.

Lead and grow the mechanical engineering team responsible for avionics packaging, thermal, harnessing, and electro-mechanical design for the X-BAT aircraft and ground vehicle. Drive architecture, cross-functional integration, manufacturing readiness, and deliver flight-critical systems that endure harsh environments while hiring and mentoring engineering leads.

Design and build automated test capabilities for V-BAT: define and automate system-level test cases, implement interfaces/drivers for simulation and hardware, prototype and harden test solutions, and support release and flight test activities working with GNC and Embedded teams.
