Flight Sciences Software Engineer
Millbrae, CAApril 4th, 2026
We are seeking a Flight Sciences 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.You 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.You'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.WHAT YOU'LL DO:You will work closely with system owners across loads, flight dynamics, and structures to design and build the internal software backbone that enables multidisciplinary design optimization across the aircraft. Your tools will directly shape how we analyze, iterate, and converge on flight-ready hardware.Develop and maintain Python-based stress analysis templates, including composite plate buckling, classical laminate theory (CLT), and composite failure theory implementationsCreate and own a scalable loads database system that makes loads analysis data readily accessible to stress analysts and design teamsImplement aeroelastic solution sequences as part of a custom-built loads analysis toolBuild reusable, well-documented libraries that enable multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) workflowsPartner closely with mechanical and aerospace engineers to translate analysis methods into production-quality softwareContinuously improve performance, reliability, and automation of internal engineering toolchainsBuild flight dynamics simulation tools and develop interfaces for analysts across GNC, loads, and flight dynamicsRequirementsWHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:5+ years of experience in software engineering, development, or related fieldSubstantial experience in Python, including building engineering or scientific computing tools. Familiarity with Fortran is a plusBackground or familiarity in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or a related technical disciplineAmbition to work in a fast-paced environment
