About the Role
AIR is seeking a Senior System Engineer to lead aircraft-level system engineering activities across the complete development lifecycle of unmanned and autonomous aircraft.
The role requires a broad technical perspective, strong problem-solving capabilities, and a hands-on approach to system integration and debugging. The engineer will work closely with all engineering disciplines, including mechanical, hardware, software, avionics, flight science, power train and flight-test teams.
This position is suited to an experienced system engineer who can translate operational and business needs into clear system requirements, define aircraft-level architecture, manage interfaces, and drive complex technical issues through integration, verification, and flight testing.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead aircraft-level system engineering activities from concept definition through development, integration, verification, flight testing, and operational support.
- Define and maintain aircraft-level requirements, system architecture, interfaces, and verification methods.
- Translate operational and product needs and high-level objectives into clear, testable technical requirements.
- Coordinate technical activities across multiple engineering teams.
- Lead system verification and validation including integration activities, ground and flight-test campaigns.
- Investigate and resolve complex multidisciplinary technical issues using structured problem-solving and root-cause analysis.
- Perform hands-on debugging of integrated aircraft systems, including hardware, software and avionics.
- Manage system interfaces and ensure compatibility between aircraft subsystems.
- Support system safety, reliability, risk assessment, and requirements traceability activities.
- Participate in design reviews, readiness reviews, failure investigations, and technical decision-making.
- Work with suppliers and external partners on system requirements, interfaces, integration, and qualification.
- Support compliance and certification activities throughout the development lifecycle.
- Identify technical risks, system gaps, and integration challenges, and drive them to closure.
- Maintain clear and structured system engineering documentation.
Requirements
Must Have
- B.Sc. in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
- At least five years of relevant experience in system engineering, aircraft development, unmanned systems, autonomous systems, or other complex multidisciplinary products.
- Experience working across the complete product development lifecycle.
- Hands-on experience with system integration, troubleshooting, and debugging.
- Ability to analyze complex multidisciplinary problems and lead effective technical resolution.
- Experience defining system requirements, architectures, interfaces, and verification activities.
- Strong understanding of interactions between hardware, software, mechanical systems, avionics, sensors and control systems.
- Ability to work effectively with multiple engineering teams and technical disciplines.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Ability to work independently, take technical ownership, and operate effectively in a fast-paced development environment.
Advantages
- Experience with model-based systems engineering, SysML, or MBSE tools and methodologies.
- M Sc. in Systems Engineering.
- Practical experience with aviation development and certification standards, including ARP4754A, ARP4761, DO-178C, DO-254, DO-160, ASTM standards, or equivalent.
- Experience with safety-critical or mission-critical systems.
- Familiarity with requirements-management, configuration-management, simulation, or data-analysis tools.
- Experience working with aviation authorities, certification organizations, or aerospace suppliers.
What We Offer
- Opportunity to be part of a pioneering company developing next-generation electric aircraft.
- A dynamic, innovative, and fast-growing startup environment.
- Collaboration with leading aerospace and automotive partners worldwide.
- Professional growth within multidisciplinary engineering and operational teams.
- Hybrid work opportunities (where applicable).
- Equal opportunity employment – we welcome applications from all qualified candidates.
