Top Engineering Jobs in Seattle, WA

Design and develop complex structural systems for autonomous aircraft launch and recovery. Own concept-to-production CAD design, perform kinematic and structural analysis, prototype and test mechanisms, support integration and flight testing, and collaborate across disciplines to ensure manufacturability and reliability.

Lead design and implementation of secure, scalable network and server-room infrastructure for enterprise and classified environments. Define cybersecurity and zero-trust architectures, produce ATO documentation, develop base media solutions, evaluate vendors, and support troubleshooting, monitoring, and incident response for LAN/WAN/cloud/hybrid and UAV C2 systems.

Lead design and development of primary and secondary aircraft structures for next-gen UAVs. Own CAD/FEA-driven structural lifecycle, material selection (composites/metal), testing, integration, verification, and mentor junior engineers while ensuring manufacturability and compliance with aerospace standards.

Lead and grow the mechanical engineering team responsible for avionics packaging, thermal, harnessing, and electro-mechanical design for the X-BAT aircraft and ground vehicle. Drive architecture, cross-functional integration, manufacturing readiness, and deliver flight-critical systems that endure harsh environments while hiring and mentoring engineering leads.

Support avionics and power systems for the X-BAT aircraft: set up and execute benchtop and environmental test campaigns, debug PCBAs and harnesses, design simple PCBAs/fixtures, assist avionics lab buildout, and collaborate with cross-functional teams on high-voltage power systems (generators, batteries, converters).

Design and develop complex electro-mechanical mechanisms for autonomous UAVs. Own concept through drawing release, perform kinematic and structural calculations, run preliminary FEA, prototype and test mechanisms, and support pre-production builds and flight testing while collaborating with cross-functional teams.

Lead a multidisciplinary propulsion team to develop flight-critical propulsion subsystems and components from concept through flight operations. Oversee design, integration, testing, supplier coordination, and cross-functional alignment for valves, ducts, thermal and fluid systems in high-temperature, vibration-prone aerospace environments.

Design and develop primary and secondary structural components for a next-generation UAV. Execute full design lifecycle, perform hand calculations and limited FEA, support structural validation and testing, produce drawings and documentation, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure manufacturability and system integration.

Lead structural analysis for UAV airframes and components using FEA and hand calculations. Execute static, modal, fatigue, vibration, and damage-tolerance analyses; validate models against tests; support flight test correlation; optimize structures for weight, performance, cost, and manufacturability; mentor analysts; and coordinate cross-functionally to influence structural design decisions and standards.

Own and deliver the X-BAT flight control system across all flight phases. Design control allocation for over-actuated systems, develop high-fidelity 6DOF simulations, define and execute V&V strategies (including Monte Carlo and HIL), diagnose sim-to-flight mismatches, support flight test operations, integrate control with propulsion/aero/actuation/sensors/autonomy, and mentor engineers.
