Our mission is to democratize high-speed flight by making supersonic travel flexible, accessible, and sustainable. We believe that rapid, on-demand, point-to-point global mobility will become the new standard for moving people and goods across the planet. To achieve this, we are integrating our advanced airframe and engine technologies—which include Duality™, our proprietary dual-use propulsion system—with a new flight operations model to make supersonic transport as efficient and economical as commercial air travel is today. In the near term, we are developing adaptable, high-speed systems to close aircraft performance gaps for the United States government.\r\nWHO WE ARE\r\nWe're a team of passionate engineers dedicated to advancing aerospace. We're generalists with specialist depth, united by a flat structure and a shared obsession with building things that work well. We move fast, stay pragmatic, and let engineering excellence speak louder than hierarchy.\r\nWHO YOU ARE\r\nYou are a software engineer who enjoys building robust engineering tools that directly impact hardware design. You thrive at the intersection of software and mechanical engineering, and you're comfortable collaborating with structural, loads, and aero teams to translate physics into scalable, reliable code.\r\nYou think in systems, care deeply about performance and usability, and take pride in writing clean, well-structured Python that engineers trust for critical design decisions.\r\nYou're motivated by hard technical problems—whether that's implementing aeroelastic solution sequences, building composite stress analysis tools, or architecting databases that make complex loads data accessible and actionable.\r\nWHAT YOU'LL DO:\r\nDevelop and maintain Python-based stress analysis templates, including composite plate buckling, classical laminate theory (CLT), and composite failure theory implementations\r\nCreate and own a scalable loads database system that makes loads analysis data readily accessible to stress analysts and design teams\r\nImplement aeroelastic solution sequences as part of a custom-built loads analysis tool\r\nBuild reusable, well-documented libraries that enable multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) workflows\r\nPartner closely with mechanical and aerospace engineers to translate analysis methods into production-quality software\r\nContinuously improve performance, reliability, and automation of internal engineering toolchains\r\nBuild flight dynamics simulation tools and develop interfaces for analysts across GNC, loads, and flight dynamics\r\nWHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:\r\n5+ years of experience in software engineering, development, or related field\r\nSubstantial experience in Python, including building engineering or scientific computing tools.
