Salary: $90,000 - $135,000 per year A bit about us We are an aerospace and defense engineering organization focused on delivering superior engineering and program management services for advanced hardware and software integration solutions. Our mission is to exceed customer expectations by applying a flexible, open‑system development philosophy built around spiral and incremental development. This approach allows hardware, software, techniques, and tactics to evolve based on real‑world feedback gathered during Operational Assessment (OA) and flight testing. By rapidly incorporating lessons learned, we are able to cost‑effectively refine systems into solutions that work reliably in operational environments—not just on paper. Our organization operates across multiple divisions, including engineering, program execution, and technical services, with management processes designed to promote strong cross‑disciplinary collaboration. This integrated structure enables us to deliver hardware and software integration, flight test planning and support, and requirements development efficiently and cohesively. We are known for producing results on time and on budget, including executing Firm‑Fixed‑Price government contracts—placing performance risk on ourselves rather than the customer. This mindset, combined with disciplined engineering and requirements management, allows us to deliver high‑quality aerospace systems with exceptional budget efficiency. Why join us? This is an opportunity to join a high‑performing aerospace engineering organization that delivers mission‑critical, fieldable systems for complex aviation and defense environments. Engineers here have real ownership—from early system design through flight test and operational deployment—and work in a culture that values technical rigor, accountability, and practical execution. If you enjoy solving hard problems, working across disciplines, and seeing your designs perform in real operational settings, this role offers both challenge and impact. Job Details We are seeking a senior Mechanical Aerospace Engineer to lead and support the design, development, and testing of aerospace mechanical systems, structures, and tooling. This role requires deep experience in structural design and testing, strong standards compliance, and the ability to work across engineering disciplines in support of aircraft integration and flight‑worthy hardware. Key Responsibilities Lead mechanical system and structural design efforts for aerospace applications. Design tooling, fixtures, and support hardware using SolidWorks. Apply MIL‑STD and ANSI standards throughout design, documentation, and testing activities. Perform and support structural analysis, test planning, and test execution for machined, fabricated, and assembled components. Collaborate with systems, electrical, software, and test teams to ensure seamless integration. Support fabrication, assembly, installation, and troubleshooting during build and test phases. Produce high‑quality engineering documentation, drawings, and reports. Qualifications 10+ years of mechanical engineering experience within the aerospace industry. Extensive experience with aerospace structural design and testing. Advanced proficiency in SolidWorks for mechanical design and tooling/fixture development. Strong working knowledge of MIL‑STD and ANSI standards. Proven experience designing and testing machined, fabricated, and assembled aerospace components. Ability to work independently while contributing effectively within a multidisciplinary team. Strong communication skills and a disciplined, detail‑oriented engineering approach. Preferred Experience Aircraft modification, avionics integration, or mission‑system support programs. Experience supporting flight test or operational assessment activities. Background in defense or government‑contracted aerospace programs. Interested in hearing more? Easy Apply now by clicking the "Easy Apply" button. #J-18808-Ljbffr Jobot
