Our client, a groundbreaking innovator in the aerospace sector, is actively seeking a highly experienced Senior Aerospace Systems Engineer to join their world-class, fully remote team. This role is critical to the design, development, and integration of advanced aerospace systems and technologies. You will be instrumental in defining system requirements, architecting complex solutions, and ensuring the successful implementation and testing of cutting-edge aerospace platforms. This position demands a deep understanding of aerospace principles, exceptional analytical capabilities, and a proven track record of leading complex engineering projects from concept to completion.
Key responsibilities include:
Defining system requirements, architecture, and interface control documents (ICDs) for new aerospace systems. Performing system modeling, simulation, and analysis to validate design performance and identify potential issues. Leading the integration of hardware and software components, ensuring seamless functionality. Developing and executing comprehensive test plans for system verification and validation. Collaborating with cross-functional engineering teams, including mechanical, electrical, and software engineers. Providing technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers. Ensuring compliance with industry standards, regulations, and safety requirements (e.g., FAA, NASA). Conducting trade studies and making informed recommendations for system design choices. Managing project timelines, budgets, and resources for assigned engineering tasks. Documenting system designs, analyses, test results, and project progress. Staying abreast of emerging technologies and best practices in aerospace engineering. Communicating technical information effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
The ideal candidate will possess a Master's degree or Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field. A minimum of 8 years of progressive experience in aerospace systems engineering is mandatory. Demonstrated experience with system design, integration, testing, and validation in complex aerospace projects is essential. Proficiency in systems engineering tools (e.g., DOORS, Cameo), simulation software (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink), and programming languages relevant to aerospace applications is required. A strong understanding of aerodynamics, propulsion systems, control systems, and avionics is crucial. Excellent problem-solving, critical thinking, and leadership skills are vital. The ability to thrive in a remote, collaborative team environment and manage complex projects autonomously is paramount. This is an unparalleled opportunity to contribute to the future of aerospace innovation from the comfort of your home office.
