In this role, you can
Contribute directly to new aircraft development and certification programs.
Work with real flight test data to validate and expand aircraft performance models.
Influence performance methods, tools, certification strategies, and published aircraft data.
Collaborate directly with flight test, engineering, certification, and regulatory organizations.
Provide technical leadership while remaining deeply engaged in hands-on engineering.
Support Gulfstream aircraft from development through entry into service and continued fleet operation.
What You Will Do
Lead complex aircraft performance analyses across all phases of flight, including takeoff, climb, cruise, descent, approach, landing, and mission performance.
Apply first-principles engineering and computational methods to evaluate aircraft performance for new designs, derivative aircraft, and the in-service fleet.
Analyze, correlate, and expand flight test data to develop and validate aircraft performance models and databases.
Develop and maintain performance data for Aircraft Flight Manuals, Operations Manuals, and onboard and ground-based performance tools.
Develop certification plans, compliance analyses, reports, and technical positions supporting FAA, EASA, and other regulatory authorities.
Review flight test plans and results and help resolve technical and certification issues.
Lead or support investigations involving aircraft performance issues affecting the operating fleet.
Develop, maintain, and modernize aircraft performance analysis tools and engineering methods.
Provide technical leadership and mentoring to less-experienced engineers.
What You Will Bring
Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or another applicable engineering or technical field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience sufficient to perform the essential functions of the role.
10 years of experience in a specific technical discipline or 15 years of broad engineering experience across several technical disciplines with a bachelor's degree.
