Work with controls, avionics, propulsion, and systems engineers to align test objectives with performance requirements.
Participate in integration, repair, and fabrication of aircraft and sub-systems.
Feed flight data, analyses and insights to aircraft design teams and processes.
Conduct safety reviews, risk assessments, and test readiness reviews.
Contribute to development and maintenance of engineering, regulatory and operational documentation.
Travel up to 25% of time.

Desired Qualifications

BS/MS or higher in Aerospace Engineering, Controls, or a related field.

FAA Part 107 certification or piloting experience.
Experience with system modeling tools or HIL/SIL environments.
Interest in operating at the boundary of software and hardware in a fast-paced startup.
Knowledge of industry (ASTM) and FAA/DoD experimental test standards.
You are a systems thinker who can balance performance, safety, and complexity.
You are mission-oriented, detail-driven, and excited to move quickly from design analysis to test design to flight.
