Responsibilities
You’ll lead a multidisciplinary team of aircraft design engineers spanning configuration, aerodynamicists, structural design, loads and analysis, GNC, mechanical subsystems, avionics and power systems, software and mission systems.
This will be on a platform with design and test heritage as it transitions into a mature production and operationally employed system, supporting new and ongoing development efforts.
Prior Experience in programmatic level decisions will play a key component in making sure the right balance of design, analysis and test is being completed to ensure that the design rigor is balanced against process that is either non-value added or does not align with program objectives.
Lead technical and programmatic execution of air vehicle and mission systems design, fabrication, test, productization.
Set up trades to enable the exploration of early conceptual designs while working closely with technical SME’s and Business Development teams to find the right solution to current and future gaps in the capability to ensure the warfighter has the best solution for current and future conflicts.
