Lead Systems Engineer - Mojave, United States - Stratolaunch
Description
POSITION SUMMARY
Stratolaunch is a technology accelerator that engineers operationally realistic testing at Mach 5+. Our air-launched, Talon testbeds are reusable, cost-effective platforms that enable routine access to the hypersonic environment. We deliver flight data critical to validating system performance and achieving rapid technology deployment. Together with our customers, we drive innovations that are imperative to advancing national security.
Stratolaunch is seeking a Staff or Principal-level Systems Engineer to serve as Lead Systems Engineer for an air-launched, hypersonic vehicle development program. The Lead Systems Engineer will work closely with the Chief Engineer and Program Manager to achieve objectives within program constraints. This requires leading a multi-disciplinary engineering team through design, manufacturing, integration, and flight test with an emphasis on systems engineering and balancing system-of-system-level decisions to meet customer requirements. An ideal candidate has rapid prototype development experience across multiple disciplines and expertise in technical requirements management, leading to first flights of high-speed or hypersonic unmanned vehicles. An ideal candidate will also have experience with flight vehicle integration and test, avionics, GNC (guidance navigation and control), launch platform integration, and flight testing for hypersonic air-launched vehicles. A qualified candidate will have significant experience in at least two of the areas listed.
