Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Lead architecture, requirements, integration, safety analysis, verification, validation, certification, and lifecycle management for autonomous aircraft systems. Conduct trade studies, manage requirements traceability, coordinate software, hardware, flight controls, and ground-control teams, and lead technical and flight readiness reviews. The role also mentors systems engineers and supports development of safety-critical aircraft systems through certification and entry into service.

Design and implement low-level embedded software for aircraft systems, adapting existing flight software for manufacturing, tooling, and specialized test applications. Develop production-ready software for hardware-in-the-loop setups, automated test equipment, and factory operations. Analyze embedded systems and communication protocols, diagnose issues, optimize performance, and contribute to system architecture within a cross-functional aerospace engineering team.

Develop and maintain integrated vehicle simulators that combine simulated and hardware environments for testing on-vehicle software. Responsibilities include architecting simulation software, improving simulation accuracy, performance, and reliability, adapting simulations to new aircraft designs, and supporting simulator users across the organization. The role requires strong C++ expertise, Linux and CI/CD knowledge, and collaboration with software and hardware engineering teams.

Develop and maintain Python-based test automation infrastructure for aerospace electronics manufacturing. Build test stations, hardware-in-the-loop integrations, equipment drivers, backend services, web UIs, database schemas, and CI/CD tooling. Collaborate with software, hardware, and manufacturing teams to automate acceptance procedures and ensure deterministic, FAA-compliant production testing. The role also requires networking, async programming, protocol integration, test strategy development, technical leadership, mentorship, and support for existing manufacturing stations.

Develop and optimize manufacturing processes, tooling, fixtures, equipment, workstations, and production line layouts for prototype and production builds. Author work instructions, conduct process capability studies, GR&R, and DoE, and ensure quality and regulatory compliance. Partner with design engineering during NPI, improve existing operations using Lean Manufacturing, and support powertrain, electronics, mechanical, and battery assembly applications.

Lead aerodynamic performance analysis, testing, and certification activities for advanced air vehicles. Serve as a DER and FAA/EASA certification focal point, conduct propeller and mission performance calculations, evaluate ground and flight test data, develop engineering tools, support flight manuals and performance requirements, and guide multidisciplinary design trade studies. The role requires extensive aerospace experience, regulatory expertise, safety assessment knowledge, and collaboration with flight physics, airframe, powertrain, flight test, and certification teams.

Design and develop mechanical components, subassemblies, and systems for electric aircraft battery powertrain applications. Perform modeling, simulation, materials selection, testing, troubleshooting, and verification. Collaborate with vendors, manufacturing teams, and test engineers throughout the development lifecycle, from early architecture through production.

Design, build, and maintain high-performance real-time user interfaces for aircraft ground control stations. Translate flight operations requirements into reliable workflows, establish front-end architecture and testing practices, collaborate across flight-test and systems teams, and contribute to technical design and product direction. The role involves telemetry visualization, command-and-control dashboards, system integration, field testing, and safeguarding software used to monitor and control experimental aircraft.

Manages global procurement and supplier relationships for aviation manufacturing. Responsibilities include RFQs, contract and price negotiations, category strategies, supplier performance, cost reduction, vendor selection, technical design reviews, and cross-functional delivery planning. The role partners with engineering, quality, manufacturing, finance, and legal teams to ensure cost-effective sourcing, quality compliance, and timely delivery of custom aircraft parts.

Lead embedded flight software and avionics development for aircraft and autonomy applications. Provide technical leadership to a multidisciplinary team, guide software architecture and trade studies, collaborate across engineering and flight-test functions, contribute to code, and develop automated, hardware-in-the-loop, and software-in-the-loop testing frameworks.
