Lead Structures Design Engineer

Job description

The team has created and exited multiple startups, negotiated defense deals worth billions of dollars, and designed and built 30+ novel aircraft, with aerospace experience from Scaled Composites, Airbus, Archer Aviation, Blue Origin, and Boom Supersonic.

We are building a Group 5 autonomous aircraft and driving it to first flight. We are in detailed design with tooling in work, and we are looking for a lead engineer to own the largest structures on that aircraft: wing, fuselage, and empennage.

You will set the design approach for large composite primary structure, make the calls on architecture and joints, and lead other structures engineers to first flight.
