Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Owns autonomy systems architecture, technology roadmaps, Concepts of Operations, lifecycle cost evaluations, and trade studies for conventional, electric, and hydrogen-electric aircraft. Integrates technology stacks across teams, researches technologies, evaluates feasibility, supports certification compliance, and provides technical guidance for aircraft autonomy development.

Leads systems engineering across aircraft, system, and subsystem development, including requirements management, architecture, safety analysis, integration testing, verification, validation, and FAA certification. Provides technical direction, develops engineering processes and standards, coordinates systems, safety, and design teams, manages and mentors systems engineers, and collaborates with FAA engineers and DERs to ensure compliance for safety-critical aircraft systems.

Drives cross-functional technical programs from ambiguous, high-risk system scoping through aircraft-level readiness. Builds roadmaps, risk mitigation plans, schedules, dependencies, and verification approaches while coordinating engineering, software, verification, and airworthiness stakeholders. Continuously adapts plans based on technical findings, test results, and emerging issues to meet aircraft and operational milestones.

Lead end-to-end systems engineering for autonomous aircraft, including requirements management, system architecture, interface definition, trade studies, risk mitigation, and verification and validation. Develop ConOps, test plans, and requirements-based test cases; coordinate cross-functional teams; support design reviews; and mentor junior engineers. The role requires aerospace systems expertise, safety-critical vehicle development experience, technical leadership, and familiarity with aerospace development standards and MBSE tools.

Leads long-range flight test fleet strategy, certification test campaigns, integrated master scheduling, resource allocation, risk management, and executive reporting. Partners with the PMO, engineering, safety, airworthiness, and certification teams to align flight test milestones with company program plans and FAA requirements. Mentors team members and oversees strategic flight test operations, deployments, fleet utilization, and critical-path execution.

Own the detect-and-avoid capability across multiple autonomous aircraft architectures. Define system strategy, sensor and radar requirements, certification and safety approaches, product roadmap, verification and validation, and regulatory compliance. Lead cross-functional work across radar, autonomy, GNC, systems engineering, safety, flight test, and regulatory teams. Drive requirements, trade studies, testing, hazard management, and engagement with regulators and standards bodies.

Integrate, test, and debug GNC and flight automation software on test aircraft. Develop flight test procedures, automated testing frameworks, simulation tools, monitoring and analysis scripts, and embedded software. Investigate flight-test issues, support readiness reviews and configuration management, correlate simulations with flight data, and contribute to C++ flight controls and mission-management development.

Designs, integrates, tests, validates, and troubleshoots RF and radio systems for eVTOL aircraft, including telemetry, SatCom, cellular, UHF, aviation radios, and conformal antennas. Analyzes flight-test data, evaluates antenna patterns and interference, develops production test equipment, and supports aircraft and ground equipment testing. The role requires hands-on work at aircraft test sites and collaboration with software, hardware, and systems engineering teams.

Disposition aircraft manufacturing non-conformances, restore airworthiness, prepare structural substantiation reports, analyze metallic and composite repairs, monitor recurring discrepancies, and support corrective actions. Collaborate with quality, inspection, manufacturing engineering, and materials teams while supporting aircraft builds and FAA certification. The role requires hands-on aircraft manufacturing or repair experience, CAD proficiency, and occasional domestic travel.

Staff MRB Stress Engineer resolves aerospace manufacturing nonconformances, writes airworthiness dispositions and structural substantiation reports, develops MRB processes, analyzes aircraft structures and repairs, and supports corrective actions. The role requires aircraft manufacturing or repair experience involving metallic and composite structures, CAD proficiency, cross-functional collaboration, and domestic travel up to 25%.
