About this role

Stratolaunch seeks a mechanical engineer to design and develop avionics systems for hypersonic air-launched testbeds. You'll work cross-functionally to create electronic enclosures, perform thermal and structural analyses, manage manufacturing, and support flight testing in a fast-paced aerospace environment.

What you'll do

  • Design electronic enclosures and avionics packaging with 3D CAD modeling
  • Perform structural, thermal, and heat transfer analyses and hand calculations
  • Generate and mature avionics system requirements with engineering teams
  • Create production drawings and collaborate with machine shops on manufacturability
  • Support environmental testing, failure analysis, and flight test qualification
  • Optimize packaging processes to improve yield, reliability, and production metrics

What they're looking for

  • Electronics and avionics packaging design
  • 3D CAD (Siemens NX, Solidworks)
  • Structural and thermal analysis (hand calcs and FEA)
  • Metallic structures design and manufacturing
  • Technical aerospace vendor management
  • Design for Manufacturability and Assembly (DFMA)
  • Risk management and critical path planning
  • Configuration management systems (JIRA, GIT, JAMA)
