Remote Aerospace Problem Designer (Contractor)

Remotebridge; United States; Remote; USD 110,000 - 255,000; Part time

Job summary

Remotebridge is seeking an Aerospace Engineering Expert for a remote contractor role. You will tackle challenging problems across aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, GNC, and orbital mechanics, designing tasks with realistic constraints and providing rigorous analyses.

You will be expected to clearly explain why a solution is correct so another engineer can verify it, review peers’ work for technical soundness, and flag ambiguities or ungradable items rather than submitting them.

Qualifications

• Master’s or PhD in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, or a closely related field.
• Principal, staff, or fellow-level experience at a major aerospace organization, or a faculty appointment at a leading university.
• Deep technical depth in at least one aerospace subdomain, with hands-on ownership of the work.
• Able to explain why an answer is correct clearly enough that another engineer could verify it.
• Publications, patents, or a record of technical leadership is a strong plus.
• AI or LLM evaluation experience is a plus, but not required.

Responsibilities

• Design difficult technical problems from your own area — aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, GNC, orbital mechanics, systems engineering — with realistic constraints and supporting data.
• Provide the correct solution and walk through the reasoning that gets there.
• Define objective criteria for correctness, so another expert reviewing the work would reach the same verdict.
• Review problems built by other contributors for technical accuracy and soundness of method.
• Flag problems that turn out to be ambiguous or ungradable rather than submitting them.
