Software Engineer, Engineering Applications

About this role

Astro Mechanica seeks a Software Engineer to build internal tools that support multidisciplinary aerospace design optimization. You'll develop Python-based engineering software for stress analysis, loads databases, and aeroelastic simulations that directly inform aircraft hardware development.

What you'll do

• Develop Python-based stress analysis tools including composite buckling, laminate theory, and failure analysis implementations
• Design and maintain a scalable loads database system for engineering teams
• Implement aeroelastic solution sequences and flight dynamics simulation tools
• Build reusable libraries enabling multidisciplinary design optimization workflows
• Collaborate with mechanical and aerospace engineers to translate analysis methods into production software
• Optimize performance and automation of internal engineering toolchains

What they're looking for

• Python (scientific computing and engineering tools)
• Database design and architecture
• Aerospace or mechanical engineering knowledge
• Stress analysis and composite materials
• Flight dynamics simulation
• Software architecture and code quality
• Fortran (preferred)
• System design and optimization

Benefits

• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance with FSA
• 401(k) program and stock options
• Flexible, self-managed time-off policy
• Flexible work environment
