What you'll do: Depending on size and complexity, a Subsystems Engineer may own one or more vehicle systems (Propulsion, Fuel / Energy Storage, Electrical, Avionics, Landing Gear, Flight Controls, Hydraulics, Environmental Controls / Pressurization, etc.), or they may work on a team helping to develop a single system to maturity. Regardless, these engineers are responsible for fleshing out an initial requirement and translating that into a design that meshes with the overall aircraft goals. This means conceptualizing a solution, negotiating detailed requirements, performing detailed design and analysis, developing definition (models, drawings, schematics, work instructions), supervising fabrication and installation, defining and performing operational tests, and ultimately, acting as a system subject matter expert as the vehicle moves into integrated tests and flight. The Subsystems Engineer will get to explore the nooks and crannies (i.e. bowels and hell-holes) of our airplanes all while smelling like jet fuel, contorting under cabin floors, climbing into engine nacelles, squinting at multi-meters, and trying to figure out why the thing isn't doing the thing it's supposed to. If this is your idea of a good time, we'd love to learn more about you! We are looking to add experienced subsystems engineers to our team. Ideally, these candidates would have the capability and drive to evolve into leadership positions in rather quick fashion. If you've worked on aircraft systems in depth, and can bring a significant body of knowledge and abilities on day one, please consider applying!

From the farthest (Global Flyer), to the largest (Stratolaunch), to the highest (SpaceShipOne, Proteus), and many in between, Scaled's track record of innovation has pushed against and expanded some of the most stubborn corners of the flight envelope. We honor that legacy today by doing what we've always done - seeking out the hardest problems in aerospace and having fun while solving them. With an average of a new design first flight for every year of our existence, there is no better place to practice the arts and science of new aircraft development than here at Scaled.
