Job Description:

As a Senior Flight Sciences Engineer focused on aeropropulsion, you will work across disciplines to enable the design, build, test, and flight of high performance unmanned aircraft. The Flight Sciences team encompasses aerodynamics, aircraft performance, aeropropulsion, stability and control, aerodynamic modeling, wind tunnel testing, and flight testing. Within this team, you will focus on how the propulsion system and airframe work together, including inlet and exhaust design, installed propulsion performance, and propulsion airframe integration.

This role is perfect for an engineer with a solid foundation in aerodynamics, propulsion, or flight sciences who is eager to grow, own challenging projects, and see their work move rapidly from concept to flight. If you thrive in fast paced environments, enjoy solving complex problems, and want to help build the future of autonomous aviation, we want to hear from you.
