Our Madison, AL based small business is seeking innovative individuals who want to join an up tempo, maker culture that proudly provides products and services to support the American Warfighter!

This role suits a well-rounded engineer to be comfortable working across the full breadth of a UAV, airframe, propulsion, avionics, and electrical systems, rather than staying confined to a single discipline. Experience with turbine engines is a strong plus.

PRIMARY FOCUS

Support design, integration, and test of high-speed unmanned aircraft across airframe, propulsion, avionics, and electrical disciplines
Support propulsion system integration, including turbine/jet engine installation, fuel systems, and performance analysis
Support aerodynamic, structural, and systems-level trade studies for high-speed airframe designs
Support integration and troubleshooting of avionics, flight control, and electrical power systems on high-speed airframes
Work across mechanical, electrical, and software teams to integrate propulsion, avionics, and airframe subsystems into a complete aircraft
Support ground and flight testing, data reduction, and design iteration across all aircraft subsystems
Partner with production and quality to resolve design-for-manufacturing issues

DESIRED SKILLS/EXPERIENCE

0-5 years of engineering experience, ideally in aerospace or other high-performance systems
Experience with turbines or jet engines strongly preferred
Broad, hands-on exposure to multiple aspects of UAVs, airframe/structures, propulsion, avionics, and electrical systems, rather than a single specialty
CAD and engineering analysis tool experience
Hands-on fabrication, integration, or test experience with high-speed or high-performance vehicles (UAS, RC aircraft, FSAE, rocketry, or similar)

REQUIRED SKILLS/EXPERIENCE

Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field
Strong fundamentals in at least one of: propulsion, aerodynamics/structures, or avionics/electrical systems, with willingness to work across all three
Ability to work hands-on across disciplines in a fast-paced small business environment
Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills
Willingness to travel occasionally to support flight test
