Job Description

We’re supporting a defense technology company in Southern California developing advanced aerial systems for U.S. defence programmes. This is a role that doesn’t come up often. Full technical ownership of primary airframe structure – concept through production – on platforms that go directly into operational use. You’d be the strongest technical voice on a lean, capable, and fast-growing engineering team. The person others come to when the hard problems land, and someone who genuinely wants to bring the engineers around them up with them.

Job Responsibility

  • Primary and secondary airframe structure across the full development lifecycle
  • First-principles structural analysis – hand calcs, load reviews, material selection, test correlation
  • Design across composites, additive, and traditional manufacturing methods
  • SolidWorks, GD&T, DVP&R, and hands-on prototyping

Requirements

  • US citizenship required (ITAR)

What we offer

  • Equity
  • Great benefits package
  • Relocation package available
