- Refine vehicle outer mold lines (OML) to meet aerodynamic key performance parameters
- Develop aerodynamic databases from multiple analytical and empirical data sources
- Collaborate with the broader engineering team to conduct multi-disciplinary trade studies to guide design decisions
- Support test procedure development and test execution, and maintain responsibility for crew and test article safety by monitoring and assessing aerodynamics and performance characteristics
- Guide model updates based on flight test data
- Support requirement verification activities in various engineering subject areas
- Develop engineering tools to complete engineering tasks associated with the Supernal concepts
- Provide technical mentorship to junior engineers
- May require up to 10% of domestic and international travel
- Other duties as assigned
What you can contribute:
- B.S. in a relevant engineering field required; Master’s degree or Ph.D. in a relevant field preferred
- Minimum of five (5) years of relevant experience (an equivalent combination of education and experience may be considered)
- Experience performing aerodynamics and performance analysis to evaluate new concepts and refine existing concepts
- Experience with innovative, physics-based aerodynamics analysis and design methods
- An understanding of aerodynamics engineering fundamentals, especially with regards to aircraft and rotorcraft
- Capability to assess the aerodynamics and performance of vertical lift aircraft through analysis, test, and a combination of the two
- Experience with rotorcraft or fixed-wing performance analysis techniques that builds on applicable educational experience
- Experience estimating airframe and rotor aerodynamics with hand calculation and low fidelity codes (vortex lattice, panel methods)
- Strong programming skills (Python, MATLAB) and experience using version control (Git)
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills
- Proactively communicate and follow-up
- Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail
- Ability to independently prioritize and accomplish work within time constraints
- Self-motivated and forward-thinking personality
- Proficiency with MS Office Suite
You may also be able to contribute:
- Experience performing analysis on VTOL aircraft preferred
Base pay offered may vary depending on skills, experience, job-related knowledge and location. This position is also eligible for a bonus as part of total compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions
- We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
- Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
- The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
- Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
- We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
- We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
- From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
- We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
- If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
- EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
