This is a growing and successful engineering group that partners with the sales team to bring custom engineered solutions to customers such as Cessna, Lockheed, Boeing, Bombardier and Gulfstream. The successful candidate for this position will be traveling to customer locations, making test flights on corporate and commercial jets, and gathering data for later analysis. To validate the data, the AE will do testing at on site and off site laboratory facilities. Estimated overnight travel is 25% to 50%, depending on the projects. This position includes benefits that you would expect from a world class company including 401k, generous holiday and vacation, medical/dental, life insurance. In this position the AE will provide technical support for the Aircraft Market, working with the sales and engineering team (which includes thermal/vibration/acoustical, project, and design engineers). The AE will be utilizing their engineering skills to solve customer problems by engineering solutions. A plus would be an understanding of aircraft systems, the interaction of thermal insulation and noise control treatments, and specific aerospace design requirements. AEs lacking some of these skills might still be considered if they have mechanical engineering strengths in other areas that are transferable to the aircraft industry.

Key job duties:
Analysis, laboratory validation, and field testing.

Preferred Qualifications:

- Working knowledge of laboratory environments.
- New product development experience
- Testing systems experience, preferably related to thermal and acoustical data.
