As the Air Vehicle Lead, Thunder, you will join the Maneuver Dominance team to manage the technical execution at the co-development interface for a hybrid-electric tiltrotor autonomous aircraft. You will own the Air Vehicle System Design Document, ensuring that the partner-built air vehicle is optimized for military missions by managing requirements like payload, power, and survivability. Your daily responsibilities include defining ICDs, managing technical risks through TPM processes, coordinating configuration decisions such as antenna placement and power architecture, and overseeing certification strategies. You will utilize expertise in rotorcraft or VTOL flight mechanics, hybrid-electric propulsion systems, and requirements engineering to bridge the gap between mission needs and aircraft design. The role requires navigating complex integration issues while balancing acoustic signatures, cruise speeds, and production transitions for autonomous military operations within a collaborative multi-disciplinary environment.
