As a Senior Engineer in our Aerospace sector you will design and develop structures and mechanisms for spacecraft, aircraft, or other complex high-value systems. You will gain exposure to a wide variety of customers from startups, established aerospace primes, to non-aerospace customers. You will be involved in the entire project lifecycle: concept design, maturation, prototype, testing…on some projects it will be one or two phases; on others the full cycle.

As a Senior Engineer you will frequently be expected to work on things outside of our area of expertise and will need to learn and “figure it out” as you go. You will also be expected to work with more junior engineers; delegating work, reviewing work, and mentoring.
