This role is hands-on, detail-oriented, and highly cross-functional - requiring close collaboration with propulsion REs, technicians, machinists, production, controls, airframe, and flight test teams.

Responsibilities:

• Own the design and release of propulsion hardware supporting the engine, fuel, oil, and bleed air systems.
• Develop and maintain CAD models, drawings, and assemblies using Siemens NX with proper GD&T.
• Translate propulsion architecture and requirements into hardware that is manufacturable, testable, and robust in flight.
• Work directly with the machine shop, production, and technicians to support builds, resolve non-conformances, and drive iterative improvements.
• Support test campaigns by providing hardware design support, instrumentation accommodation, and rapid iteration based on test findings.
• Apply engineering judgment and analysis (e.g., hand calcs, ANSYS, FEA, GFSSP, REFPROP) to support sizing, load cases, and design validation.
• Support configuration management, BOM control, and change processes using Teamcenter or equivalent PLM.
• Participate in design reviews, interface control efforts, and root cause investigations related to propulsion hardware.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• 5+ years of experience in aerospace hardware design, preferably supporting propulsion systems.
• Proficiency in CAD modeling and drawing creation (NX preferred) with sound application of GD&T.
• Experience working directly with production, technicians, and machine shops to resolve real-world build issues.
• Understanding of design for manufacturing, including machining limitations, tolerance stack-ups, and assembly workflows.
• Some hands-on experience developing assembly guidance and supporting hardware builds and test integration.
• U.S. Citizenship or ability to comply with ITAR requirements.

Preferences:

• Experience with jet propulsion systems on UAVs or tactical aircraft.
• Familiarity with GFSSP, REFPROP, ANSYS, or FEA to support design trade studies and validation.
• Ability to write Python scripts for design automation, analysis, or data processing.
• Experience with interface control, fastener selection for high-vibration environments, and high-temperature materials.
• Experience designing hardware in test-driven development environments with rapid iteration cycles.
• M.S. in Aerospace Engineering or a related discipline.

Your primary focus will be on ensuring test results accurately characterise engine and subsystem performance, de-risk integration, and inform flight readiness decisions. This role is hands-on, data-driven, and highly cross-functional, requiring close collaboration with propulsion engineers, design engineers, technicians, controls, airframe, and flight test teams.

Key responsibilities include:

• Owning the propulsion test program from requirements through execution, data review, and test-to-flight handoff.
• Architecting, designing, analysing, and building test stands and fixtures for engine, fuel, oil, bleed air, and TVC-related testing.
• Defining and implementing instrumentation plans, DAQ architecture, calibration methods, and test procedures.
• Leading ground test campaigns, including performance mapping, transient response, and edge-of-envelope testing.
• Analysing test data to validate performance, identify anomalies, and drive design or control updates.
• Partnering with propulsion REs and controls engineers to ensure test coverage closes risk against CONOPS and mission profiles.
• Driving root cause investigations for test anomalies and implementing corrective actions.
• Authoring test plans, reports, and readiness reviews; representing propulsion test in design and flight readiness reviews.

Requirements include a Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering or a related engineering discipline, 5+ years of experience in propulsion or engine testing in aerospace development environments, and hands-on experience with engine test cells, test stand design, instrumentation, and DAQ systems.
