Sr. Aerospace Engineer

The Sr. Aerospace Engineer provides engineering support for aerospace systems and subsystems in support of DoD aviation and training programs. The engineer supports the analysis, design, integration, testing, validation, airworthiness, and sustainment of aircraft, aviation subsystems, and associated Training Aids, Devices, Simulators, and Simulations (TADSS).

Responsibilities include supporting development and review of aerospace system requirements, specifications, and technical architectures; conducting performance, safety, and airworthiness analyses; supporting test planning, execution, and evaluation activities; and assisting with Government Acceptance Testing (GAT) and On-Site Acceptance Testing (OSAT). The Aerospace Engineer participates in reviews of design baselines, drawings, and technical data packages and supports configuration management and change control activities.

The role supports analysis of flight performance, aerodynamics, structures, propulsion, avionics integration, and environmental factors as applicable. The Aerospace Engineer assists in development and review of technical documentation, engineering assessments, and reports; supports preparation and evaluation of Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) and Value Engineering Proposals (VEPs); and participates in hardware and software quality assurance activities to ensure compliance with DoD, Army, and airworthiness requirements.
