Job description

Contribute to the evolution of military and commercial aerospace propulsion systems.

We are searching for a Senior Systems Engineer who possesses practical experience in NPSS engine modeling and gas turbine performance and operability analysis to assist in the creation of advanced engine technologies.

Core Qualifications

• At least four years of professional experience in gas turbine operability and performance assessment.
• Demonstrated proficiency in developing, troubleshooting, and optimizing NPSS models.
• Deep knowledge of transient and steady-state thermodynamic modeling techniques.
• Background in requirements decomposition and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE).
• Proven ability to foster cooperation within diverse, multidisciplinary engineering groups.

Compensation and Advantages

• Competitive hourly compensation of $58.65.
• Opportunities for a flexible hybrid work schedule.
• Direct involvement in the advancement of next-generation aerospace engine initiatives.
• Hands-on engagement with cutting-edge MBSE and NPSS software platforms.
• The chance to shape engine development cycles from initial concept to final qualification.

Role Requirements

It is essential that candidates have direct, hands‑on experience executing gas turbine performance analysis and NPSS modeling, rather than simply reviewing the outputs of others. Are you prepared to contribute to the propulsion systems of future aircraft?

Benefits Overview

Our comprehensive benefits package is designed to provide employees with the flexibility to select coverage that aligns with their personal needs. Offerings include medical, dental, vision, life insurance, short-term disability, commuter benefits, an EAP program, and a 401K plan. Furthermore, employees may qualify for paid leave, including mandated paid sick leave or other legally required leave, alongside holiday pay where applicable.
