TL;DR · Senior Aircraft/Missile Systems Engineer

As a Senior Aircraft/Missile Systems Engineer, you will join the systems engineering team to play a central role in developing next-generation hypersonic capabilities under the NRL/ONR FLASH program. You will lead activities across the full lifecycle of an advanced hypersonic vehicle, including defining performance requirements, managing Technical Performance Metrics like airworthiness and stability, and overseeing procurement or builds. Your daily work involves collaborating with aerodynamicists on Design Reference Missions and coordinating with Intelligence Community partners to ensure operational overmatch against adversary systems. The role requires expertise in GNC systems, actuator technologies, power systems, telemetry, and flight test instrumentation. You will utilize digital engineering, modeling, and simulation environments while managing system risks for program management and government sponsors. Essential skills include high-speed aerodynamics, aerothermal analysis, vehicle integration, and experience with NAVAIR or NAVSEA programs.

What you'll do

  • Lead the specification, procurement, and construction of hypersonic vehicle systems.
  • Develop and manage Technical Performance Metrics including budgets and Key Performance Parameters.
  • Define airworthiness, navigation, control, and stability requirements for vehicle development.
  • Collaborate with aerodynamicists to define Design Reference Missions to evaluate performance.
  • Assess system capabilities against adversary systems in coordination with Intelligence Community partners.
  • Advise program management and customers on system risks, maturation progress, and technical issues.
  • Integrate complex aerospace subsystems including GNC, actuators, power systems, and telemetry.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Engineering or a related field.
  • 20 years or more of systems engineering experience.
  • U.S. Citizenship with the ability to obtain and maintain a government security clearance.
  • Experience working with hypersonics, NAVAIR, or NAVSEA.
  • Hands-on experience with GNC systems, actuator technologies, power systems, telemetry, and flight test instrumentation.
  • Background in high-speed aerodynamics, aerothermal analysis, or vehicle integration.
  • Experience with digital engineering, modeling/simulation environments, and system level performance modeling.
  • Strong communication and leadership skills to interface with government sponsors and technical teams.
