Job Description

We're seeking a Principal Mechanical Systems Engineer to lead the IPT design, analysis, test, and integration of vehicle subsystems on our prototype 9-passenger hybrid electric eSTOL aircraft. This is an incredible hands-on opportunity to make a direct impact on a cutting-edge development program.

Responsibilities
  • Manage and lead the development of vehicle subsystems, from system architecture through design guidance and mentoring.
  • Developing subsystem and component requirements compatible with safety, performance, and business objectives.
  • Selecting and managing suppliers/partners, providing guidance to help meet the required integrated product engineering team deliverables.
  • Managing functional and physical interfaces between the vehicle subsystems and the vehicle.
  • Performing/reviewing analysis, modeling, and simulation to verify subsystems and components meet performance and safety requirements.
  • Interfacing with customers, suppliers, partners, and internal stakeholders to ensure program alignment.
  • Communicating information about vehicle subsystem design, requirements, and performance between the design team, management, customer, subcontractors, and vendors.
  • Understanding program objectives and requirements to conduct trade studies and define architectures, requirements, and interfaces between subsystems.
  • Preparing and presenting at gated design reviews to demonstrate the adequacy of the design.
Requirements
  • B.S. in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering (or related STEM discipline) and 12 or more years of experience in relevant discipline areas (or an equivalent combination of education, skills, and experience).
  • Experience with the aircraft development process and familiarity with aircraft subsystems.
  • Advanced understanding of engineering fundamentals.
  • Strong work ethic and ability to independently meet and lead the areas described by the responsibilities and essential functions.
  • Excellent organization and communication skills.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Advanced degree preferred.
  • Experience leading the development of aerospace systems, from conceptual design through production.
  • Demonstrated knowledge of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs), certification procedures (especially Part 23), and relevant industry standards.
  • Proficiency with CAD software (NX preferred) and mechanical systems-oriented analysis techniques (stress analysis, multi-body dynamics, thermal, etc).
What We Offer

We offer a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, STD, LTD, and life insurance, generous PTO and sick leave, company holidays, paid winter break, and a 401(k) plan with immediate vesting. Life at Electra Aero includes a variety of perks, such as free catered lunches, amazing coffee, snacks, drinks, fruit, free parking, and opportunities for much more.
