The opportunity

The Air Dominance and Strike (AD&S) Chief Engineering Team is a driving force behind the technical execution and strategic vision of our most critical programs. They are responsible for architecting a vision for product development and guiding multi-disciplinary teams to deliver effectively.

What you'll do

  • Lead early conceptual design of entire advanced air vehicle platforms: configuration exploration, trade studies, and performance modeling.

  • Apply first-principles thinking across air vehicle engineering: aerodynamics, structures, propulsion, flight controls, GNC, low observables, autonomy, and mission systems to evaluate concepts.

  • Identify and mature key scientific and technical breakthroughs for new: operational capability through novel air vehicle designs.

  • Balance creativity with engineering realism, ensuring executable technology: paths for complete air vehicle solutions.

  • Define holistic system architectures integrating air vehicle design, mission: systems, autonomy, and manufacturing from the outset.

  • Lead cross-disciplinary trade studies and modeling to understand: interactions, sensitivities, and failure modes across the entire flight system.

What they're looking for

  • Prior experience with DOW technology development organizations (e.g., DARPA,: AFRL) on advanced flight programs.
  • Experience transitioning entire flight systems from early research through: prototype and operational demonstration.
  • Background in experimental or flight test environments, including test: planning and execution for novel air vehicles.
  • Experience working on advanced or classified air vehicle platforms, including: low-observable or signature-constrained designs.
  • Deep technical expertise in multiple core air vehicle domains (e.g.,: aerodynamics, flight controls, GNC, propulsion, structures, aircraft integration).
  • Demonstrated ability to thrive in fast-paced, non-traditional aerospace environments.
  • Currently obtains a Top Secret level clearance or higher
