Concept & Systems Engineer - Aircraft Development

At Aerosapien Technologies, your work powers real-world innovation. We are a team where engineering excellence meets bold imagination — where every idea counts, every design matters, and every engineer makes an impact. From concept to creation, we turn vision into reality through collaboration, precision, and purpose. Together, we’re redefining the boundaries of design, technology, and manufacturing. Join us and be part of a journey to build something extraordinary.

The Concept & Systems Engineer will lead and support the conceptual and preliminary design development of an advanced aircraft platform. This role is responsible for aircraft configuration development, performance sizing, system architecture definition, and cross-functional integration to mature the design toward a manufacturable and certifiable full-scale aircraft.

Key Responsibilities

Develop and refine eVTOL aircraft configurations through conceptual and preliminary design phases.
Perform mission analysis, aircraft sizing, weight estimation, CG analysis, and performance evaluations (hover, transition, cruise, range).
Define and manage system-level architecture including propulsion, flight controls, avionics, and power systems.
Develop and flow down aircraft requirements to subsystem teams and maintain requirements traceability.
Conduct configuration trade studies and technical risk assessments.
Support multidisciplinary integration across aerodynamics, structures, propulsion, and controls.
Prepare technical documentation and support design reviews (SRR, PDR).
Assist with early certification planning aligned with FAA requirements.
Coordinate with manufacturing teams to ensure design readiness for full-scale production.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering or related field.
5+ years of experience in aircraft conceptual or preliminary design (rotorcraft preferred).
Strong understanding of aircraft performance, aerodynamics, and stability & control.
Experience with sizing tools and analytical modeling (MATLAB/Simulink preferred).
Knowledge of systems engineering processes and certification fundamentals (Part 23 frameworks preferred).
