Leads the quality engineering function for aerospace manufacturing, building the quality team, management system, certification program, supplier quality processes, inspection controls, and corrective action systems. Partners with design, manufacturing, materials, suppliers, and operations to improve production quality, throughput, and predictability. The role requires establishing ISO 9001 and AS9100 compliance, supporting composite production, and scaling manufacturing from early builds to high-rate production.

Own the design and sizing of primary and secondary aircraft structures from concept through first flight and production. Responsibilities include composite and metallic design, CAD and FEA, structural analysis, loads development, drawings, manufacturing collaboration, tooling, structural testing, vendor coordination, and first-article support. The role integrates propulsion, landing or recovery systems, payload bays, and control surfaces while ensuring designs meet aviation and DoD certification requirements.

Lead aircraft structural analysis and component sizing from concept through certification. Perform hand calculations and FEA on composite and metallic structures, develop and maintain analysis standards, automate workflows, support manufacturability, and guide junior engineers. Collaborate cross-functionally on prototype and production aircraft designs while ensuring performance, cost, safety, and regulatory compliance.

Lead aircraft and system safety analyses for autonomous swarming UAS, including FHA, FTA, SSA, CCA, and CMA. Derive safety requirements, define development assurance levels, and collaborate with engineering teams on redundancy, fault containment, and hazard mitigation. Support design, test, and flight readiness reviews; address safety implications of autonomous flight and signal loss; prepare flight authorization inputs; and lead root-cause and corrective-action planning for safety issues.

Own and expand customer adoption of Legion software by understanding mission needs, identifying opportunities, managing complex accounts, and translating customer requirements to engineering teams. Develop proposals, white papers, presentations, and analyses while coordinating mission execution across multiple stakeholders. The role requires technical curiosity, experience with complex hardware and software systems, comfort with government or military customers, 25–75% travel, and eligibility to obtain and hold a U.S. Top Secret clearance.

Build Swarm Aero’s marketing function and brand from the ground up. Responsibilities include corporate identity, technical storytelling, internal communications, launches, defense industry events, media relations, executive communications, employer branding, agency management, budgets, vendors, and hiring. The role partners closely with founders and recruiting, supports defense and government audiences, and promotes autonomous aircraft and command-and-control software.

Provides day-to-day IT support and Microsoft 365 administration, including Entra ID, Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, licensing, access, MFA, onboarding, and offboarding. Provisions and maintains employee hardware, troubleshoots endpoint, identity, application, permissions, and network issues, documents processes, and improves automation. Partners with systems administrators while developing capabilities in Intune, conditional access, SSO, networking, cloud infrastructure, security, compliance, and automation.

Owns month-end close, general ledger accuracy, reconciliations, inventory and cost accounting, government contract cost structures, billing, revenue recognition, audits, AP, expense reporting, and internal controls. The role also researches accounting treatments, documents processes, and helps implement scalable accounting systems as the defense aerospace company grows.

Lead guidance, navigation, and control development for autonomous swarming aircraft. Responsibilities include designing flight-control, payload-management, and autonomy algorithms; developing modeling and analysis tools; improving simulation fidelity; and testing and validating GNC systems across simulation, subscale, ground, and full-scale flight environments.

Design, analyze, test, and integrate avionics enclosures and secondary aircraft structures for autonomous UAVs. Create mechanical models, drawings, and interface control documents; develop mounts and brackets; apply design standards, GD&T, materials, manufacturing processes, coatings, and sealants. Collaborate with suppliers on manufacturability, investigate flight-test anomalies, perform root-cause analysis, and support airworthiness documentation and flight authorization packages.
