Job description

Today’s aircraft contribute around 4% of global CO2 emissions, equivalent to the emissions of 200 million cars. This is only going to increase: Air travel is forecasted to double by 2050, while meaningful efficiency gains using current airplanes have hit a wall.

JetZero is developing a blended‑wing body (BWB) aircraft. It uses up to 50% less fuel and will be built to accommodate zero‑emission hydrogen propulsion. JetZero is the inevitable solution to sustainable air travel.

The JetZero team

We are experienced aerospace professionals and engineers, excited about the future. That future will only be possible if we share our vision and what it means to people’s lives: carbon‑free flight that is better for both passengers and airlines around the world.

What You’ll Do

• Partner with systems engineers (avionics, electrical power, propulsion, …) to capture system signal routing needs in wire diagrams using Siemen Capital.
• Coordinate with design and build teams on harness design, installation requirements, and connector selection.
• Provide support during manufacturing, installation, and testing phases in Mojave, CA.

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related fields.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with attention to detail.
• Excellent documentation rigor and communication skills, capable of working across disciplines.
• Comfortable wearing multiple hats, intellectual curiosity, and cross‑functional versatility.

Preferred Skills (Nice to Have)

• Experience in EWIS architecture development for transport or commercial aircraft.
• Familiarity with electrical bonding, shielding, and EMI/EMC compliance.
• Knowledge of system safety assessments (SSA/FHA) and their impact on EWIS design.
• Background in electrical routing tools.
• Background in production/installation processes for wiring harnesses.
• Completion of a degree or certification from a trade school and/or A&P license.
• Experience in aerospace manufacturing with wire rework (wire repair, rerouting, connector disconnect, pin removal/install, splicing, soldering, and heat shrink).

Compensation

Our compensation package is a blend of base salary and equity options for eligible employees. The range for this role is $85,000 to $120,000. We consider factors such as geography, internal equity, and years of experience and expertise when presenting a final offer.
