Responsibilities:

  • Lead definition, validation, and maintenance of system-level requirements for hypersonic engines and vehicles.
  • Develop and own qualification and verification plans at the system level.
  • Track requirement verification status throughout product development, test, and qualification.
  • Review and approve test and analysis plans/reports, ensuring traceability to customer requirements.
  • Develop and maintain key system safety and reliability analyses (FMEA, PFMEA, ASIA, etc.) for hypersonic systems.
  • Lead risk analysis and mitigation efforts; manage closure of system-level risks.
  • Develop and maintain Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) architectures for hypersonic engines and vehicles.
  • Represent systems engineering at internal and customer design reviews, communicating requirement compliance and risk posture.
  • Drive improvements in systems engineering processes, tools, and standards across programs.
  • Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior engineers, elevating systems engineering capability within the team.

Required Qualifications:

  • B.S. in Aerospace, Systems, or Mechanical Engineering (or related field); M.S. preferred.
  • 5+ years of experience applying systems engineering principles to complex aerospace systems (design reviews, requirements verification, risk management, failure analysis).

  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
  • Demonstrated leadership in cross-functional technical teams.
  • Ability to earn trust and maintain positive, professional relationships across technical and customer teams.

  • Experience with MBSE and tools such as Cameo.
  • Familiarity with government and DoD contracts, specifications, and compliance requirements.
  • Active Secret clearance or ability to obtain and maintain one.
  • Experience in hypersonic vehicles, propulsion, or high-speed flight systems.

Colorado law requires us to tell you the base compensation range of this role, which is $133,000 - $166,000, determined by your education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities. What we canโ€™t quantify for you are the exciting challenges, supportive team, and amazing culture we enjoy.
