Aerospace Engineer II - Aircraft Certification

Do you love bringing "out-there" ideas to life? We are innovators on a mission to unite, explore and inspire. As an aerospace engineer in aircraft certification, you will help certify cutting edge products and services with various aircraft regulators. These products cover a very wide range from advanced mission payloads and electronic systems through highly integrated aircraft to orbital and space exploration systems. Your technical duties will be involved in the design and development, analysis, and test of new products and processes throughout the product lifecycle.

Aircraft Certification Engineers at SNC are exposed to a broad range of aircraft modifications. We create successful program execution by coordinating with various aircraft regulators to ensure that the aircraft design is compliant to an appropriate set of regulations. This includes the FAA and various US and Foreign military organizations. In this role you will solve an extremely diverse set of problems related to aircraft design and operation. This is a high visibility role that involves interfacing with most of the other roles in the organization and taking a broad perspective of the entire air system.
