Sr Aerospace Engineer

Join to apply for the Sr Aerospace Engineer role at Sierra Nevada Corporation
.

The ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance), Aviation, and Security (IAS) business area is a leader(mail) in ISR and aviation, serving as a prime for integrated aircraft systems. We develop, test, certify, and support complex ISR and aviation solutions.

We are building the next‑generation Survivable Airborne Operations Center (SAOC). If you are passionate about building the airborne command post of the future, consider SNC.

As an aerospace engineer, you will research, design, develop, test, certify, deploy and improve cutting‑edge products and services across advanced mission payloads and integrated aircraft systems.

Key responsibilities include:

• Drive Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) procedures and standards and troubleshoot complex aerodynamic problems within the NC3 business area.
• Plan, schedule, execute, and report aerodynamic database campaigns for transport‑category aircraft.
• Review and compile results from the aerodynamic analysis team and present findings to internal teams, leadership, and customers.
• Generate wind tunnel data corrections.
• Identify skill gaps within the CFD team, organize training sessions,Factor and encourage continuous learning and professional growth among engineers.

Qualifications you must have:

• Bachelor’s of Science in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or related discipline with typically 10+ years of relevant experience.
• Higher education may substitute for relevant experience.
