Jobs at The Aerospace Corporation

Drive supplier quality and compliance through FAI review, source inspections, APQP/PPAP deliverables, PFMEA/control plan support, root-cause corrective actions, supplier coaching, and continuous improvement to reduce escapes and improve on-time delivery.

Develop and maintain supply plans aligned to demand forecasts and business goals. Collaborate with demand planning, procurement, and manufacturing. Monitor and optimize inventory, use supply planning tools to analyze data, support execution of supply plans, and drive continuous improvement in planning processes.

Lead program management for electric propulsion and high-power electric drive/generation systems. Define product strategy, core technical requirements, and maturation plans; oversee system integration, airworthiness planning, and stakeholder/partner coordination to deliver production-ready aerospace power solutions.

Lead and manage complex aerospace engineering projects including scope definition, schedules, budgets, verification/validation (V-model), risk management, test planning/execution, and coordination of small technical teams to deliver systems on time and within budget.

Develop and execute sourcing strategies for aerospace programs to drive cost savings, negotiate contracts, manage supplier relationships, improve supplier performance, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and implement procurement best practices to ensure supply continuity.

Lead hardware procurement, tracking, and qualification test support; coordinate supply chain and buyers; develop and manage project schedules, estimates, budgets, risks, and verification/qualification plans; support system architecture trades and drive project execution while leading small technical teams to deliver complex aerospace systems on time and within budget.

Lead and manage complex aerospace engineering projects from initiation to completion. Define scope, develop plans, manage budgets/timelines, lead RFI/RFP responses, coordinate cross-functional teams, monitor progress using Earned Value Management, mitigate risks, provide technical guidance, and report status to stakeholders.

Lead ideation, design, development, testing, and tech-transfer of advanced solutions in air and thermal control systems. Conduct research, evaluate emerging technologies, generate IP, manage technical risks, and collaborate across global, cross-functional teams while mentoring and recruiting talent.

Lead technical oversight for military and commercial electric power products across lifecycle: strategy, NPI, development, qualification, production, field issue resolution, and people development. Act as Design Authority, engage customers/regulators, drive product and pursuit strategy, approve technical deliverables, and mentor engineering teams while championing transformational improvements and compliance with aerospace standards.

Perform stress, vibration, and heat-transfer analyses for turbomachinery, heat exchangers, and electric motors using FEA and analytical methods. Provide technical oversight, validate requirements, support testing, lead design reviews, mentor junior engineers, manage risk, and drive process improvements and corrective actions.

Lead and manage complex aerospace engineering projects from initiation through delivery. Define scope, plans, budgets, and resources; lead RFI/RFP responses; coordinate cross-functional teams; monitor progress, risks, and budgets; provide technical guidance; and present status to stakeholders while building and developing an inclusive engineering team.

Lead cross-functional Integrated Project Teams to improve product health across the end-to-end value stream. Drive daily MOS, track improvement actions, manage KPIs (delivery, quality, inventory, cost), run executive program reviews, and collaborate with production, procurement, engineering, quality, and suppliers to enable customer recovery and eliminate waste.

Create and maintain production schedules, coordinate with procurement and logistics to ensure materials and resources, monitor and adjust production progress, identify and resolve bottlenecks, and continuously improve scheduling processes to meet customer demand and reduce downtime.

Lead a sourcing team to develop and execute sourcing strategies, negotiate contracts, improve supplier performance, drive cost savings, collaborate cross-functionally, and implement procurement best practices.

Lead architecture, integration, and delivery of complex aerospace systems. Drive requirements flow-down, design, verification/validation, test equipment integration, and field issue resolution. Provide technical leadership across multidisciplinary teams, support project execution, and ensure designs meet quality standards and customer needs.

Perform steady-state simulation, modeling, validation, and performance analysis of Environmental Control Systems (ECS/VCS) for various aircraft using Nexsys. Define system requirements, optimize models, support system integration testing, coordinate handoffs across stakeholders, and provide test execution and data analysis support. Travel up to 25%.

Provide SAP-based technical support for NPI engineering and manufacturing: manage production demand, parts inventory, work orders, shipping/receiving, document product status, track production parts, move hardware on site, troubleshoot SAP issues, and drive process improvements with cross-functional teams.

Manage and maintain master production schedules, balance supply and demand, coordinate cross-functional teams, ensure material availability, optimize lead times and inventory, monitor production data, and support continuous improvement within a manufacturing supply chain.

Lead technical validation for engines, power systems and mechanical control systems for aerospace and UAM. Review drawings and 3D models for manufacturability, dimensional accuracy, GD&T, and standards compliance; verify fit and CAD/CAM translation. Provide technical leadership, mentor junior engineers, drive process and design standards improvements, and support technical resolution and consultancy.

Lead and execute large, multi-system engineering development programs to meet scope, schedule, cost, delivery, and quality goals. Define and implement program plans, manage risks, schedules, budgets, forecasts, and cross-functional coordination. Mentor team members, present program status, and drive on-time delivery across multiple domestic locations.
