Job summary

Mach Industries Inc. is hiring a Principal Systems Engineer to lead aircraft-level simulations throughout design integration at Huntington Beach.

You will own architecture, develop integrated simulations, and guide design trades with aero, structures, propulsion, electrical, and controls teams. The role requires senior leadership, deep knowledge of aircraft performance and modeling, and collaboration across multidisciplinary teams to support requirements, verification, and certification

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in aerospace, mechanical, electrical, systems engineering or related field.
• Significant experience developing or applying aircraft-level models and simulations.
• Strong understanding of aircraft performance, flight mechanics, dynamics and multidisciplinary interactions.
• Experience integrating models from aerodynamics, structures, propulsion, electrical, controls, or thermal disciplines.
• Proficiency with MATLAB/Simulink, Python, C/C++, or equivalent platforms.
• Experience conducting trade studies, parameter sweeps, sensitivity analyses, uncertainty quantification, or optimization.
• Ability to translate simulation results into actionable aircraft design decisions.
• Experience with model verification, validation, test correlation, and configuration control.
• Strong technical leadership and cross-functional communication skills.

Responsibilities

• Own the architecture, development, and validation of integrated aircraft simulations.
• Use simulation to guide configuration, sizing, requirements, and design trade studies.
• Integrate aerodynamic, structural, propulsion, electrical, mass-properties, controls, and mission-performance models.
• Lead multidisciplinary design optimization and sensitivity analyses.
• Quantify design margins, uncertainty, risk, and system-level impacts of changes.
• Define simulation fidelity requirements for each development phase.
• Establish model verification, validation, configuration-management, and documentation practices.
• Correlate simulation results with tests and flight data.
• Develop mission profiles and evaluate performance across operating conditions.
• Present recommendations and trade-offs to technical leadership and program stakeholders.
• Mentor engineers and establish best practices for simulation-driven development.
• Support requirements development, architecture reviews, design reviews, and certification activities.
