Senior Aero-Mechanical Engineer - Advanced Systems Engineering Integration and Design Optimization

Orb Aircraft Development EngineerJoin us in returning to a 1940's design cadence, reducing the cycle time for aircraft design, build and fly – Integrating advanced design tools and experimenting with unconventional planforms. We are reindustrializing the Midwest as Michigan's first airframe prime since the Second World War. We're leveraging our region's industrial might and airspace to build aircraft that become decentralized infrastructure. Orb is a small mission-driven team where your initiative, creativity, and dedication will be used to reach every village on the planet with power, logistics, and Role at Orb:We're establishing a low overhead, fast paced, experimental aircraft development environment that allows new design ideas, tools, and processes to be tested and go to market in an entirely new category of aircraft. We're giving a passionate engineer with a history of designing, optimizing and shepherding aircraft cradle-to-grave an opportunity to test their ideas in the interests of building the best aircraft to have the highest impact on the greatest number of people. You should have a passion for efficient, multifunctional teams and the experience to lead others in the interests of rapid execution on exciting new air you're ready to take ownership, embrace complexity, and thrive in a role where your work truly matters, we'd love to hear from you.Key Responsibilities:Aircraft Design, Configuration, Analysis, and Trade StudiesEngineering First Principals Driven Multi-Disciplinary Systems Engineering from RF to Propulsion and StructuresSpool up Aircraft Design Tools Like CFDIncorporate Multi-Disciplinary Optimization and Establish Design Tools / ProcessesIncorporate With Every Discipline from Conceptual Design to Flight TestDesired Skills and Qualifications:Demonstrated Experience in Wholistic Aircraft Design, Aero, Mechanical, and Systems Success in Building Unconventional Air PlatformsLong Term Commitment to Orbs MissionExpert in CAD E.G.
