Job details:
At Aerosapien Technologies, your work powers real-world innovation. We are a team where engineering excellence meets bold imagination — where every idea counts, every design matters, and every engineer makes an impact. From concept to creation, we turn vision into reality through collaboration, precision, and purpose. Together, we’re redefining the boundaries of design, technology, and manufacturing. Join us and be part of a journey to build something extraordinary.
The Concept & Systems Engineer will lead and support the conceptual and preliminary design development of an advanced aircraft platform. This role is responsible for aircraft configuration development, performance sizing, system architecture definition, and cross-functional integration to mature the design toward a manufacturable and certifiable full-scale aircraft.
Qualifications
- PhD in Aerospace Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Flight Dynamics, Propulsion, or a closely related discipline.
- Strong academic or industry research background in aircraft conceptual design, advanced air mobility, eVTOL, VTOL, rotorcraft, flight dynamics, propulsion, or multidisciplinary aircraft optimization.
- 3+ years of relevant post-PhD industry, research, or aircraft-development experience preferred.
- Demonstrated experience with aircraft conceptual and preliminary design, vehicle sizing, mission analysis, and configuration trade studies.
- Strong understanding of aircraft performance, aerodynamics, flight mechanics, stability and control, and multidisciplinary aircraft design.
- Experience developing mathematical models, simulations, optimization frameworks, or physics-based engineering models.
- Strong proficiency with MATLAB/Simulink, Python, or equivalent engineering analysis tools.
- Experience with multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO), aircraft sizing, performance modeling, or system-level optimization is highly desirable.
- Experience with eVTOL, powered-lift, rotorcraft, UAS, electric aircraft, or other advanced aircraft platforms preferred.
- Understanding of aircraft system architecture, requirements development, subsystem interfaces, verification, and validation.
- Familiarity with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), SysML, Cameo, DOORS, or similar systems-engineering tools is desirable.
- Familiarity with FAA aircraft certification processes, system safety, ARP4754A, and ARP4761 is desirable.
- Ability to independently perform research, develop engineering methodologies, evaluate new technologies, and translate research findings into practical aircraft design decisions.
