We are seeking a Senior Configuration Design Engineer for our Air Dominance & Strike hardware engineering organization. As a Senior Engineer, you will own the architectural configuration, scoping, and optimization methodology for our advanced Group 5 Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and missile programs. You will serve as a technical leader, defining engineering processes, mentoring junior engineers, and directly partnering with Chief Engineers and customers to translate complex mission requirements into revolutionary, buildable aircraft architectures.

Требования

Bachelor of Science degree in Aerospace, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field.
8+ years of experience in conceptual or preliminary design of aerospace systems, with a track record of technical leadership on UAS, military aircraft, or advanced missile programs.
Expert-level proficiency in 3D parametric CAD modeling, advanced surfacing, and lofting (Siemens NX preferred, CATIA, or Creo).
Extensive experience leading multi-disciplinary design teams and trade studies (aerodynamics, structures, propulsion, mass properties, and systems integration).
Deep understanding of system architecture, mission requirements, and full product development lifecycles.
Strong communication and presentation skills, with a proven ability to write technical proposals and present design solutions to leadership and customers.
Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret Security Clearance.

Будет плюсом

Advanced degree (MS/PhD) in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering.
