About the role
- We believe that rapid, on-demand, point-to-point global mobility will become the new standard for moving people and goods across the planet.
- We move fast, stay pragmatic, and let engineering excellence speak louder than hierarchy.
- You thrive at the intersection of software and mechanical engineering, and you're comfortable collaborating with structural, loads, and aero teams to translate physics into scalable, reliable code.
Responsibilities
- You will work closely with system owners across loads, flight dynamics, and structures to design and build the internal software backbone that enables multidisciplinary design optimization across the aircraft.
- Develop and maintain Python-based stress analysis templates, including composite plate buckling, classical laminate theory (CLT), and composite failure theory implementations
- Create and own a scalable loads database system that makes loads analysis data readily accessible to stress analysts and design teams
- Build reusable, well-documented libraries that enable multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) workflows
- Partner closely with mechanical and aerospace engineers to translate analysis methods into production-quality software
- Build flight dynamics simulation tools and develop interfaces for analysts across GNC, loads, and flight dynamics
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in software engineering, development, or related field
Nice to have
- Familiarity with Fortran is a plus
Benefits
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance, including Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)
- 401(k) program and transparent stock option plan
- Self-managed and flexible time-off policy, including PTO, paid holidays, and sick time
- Flexible work environment
Company info
- Astro Mechanica is a vertically integrated aerospace company building a faster, more connected future.
- Our mission is to democratize high-speed flight by making supersonic travel flexible, accessible, and sustainable.
- In the near term, we are developing adaptable, high-speed systems to close aircraft performance gaps for the United States government.
- We're a team of passionate engineers dedicated to advancing aerospace. We're generalists with specialist depth, united by a flat structure and a shared obsession with building things that work well. We move fast, stay pragmatic, and let engineering excellence speak louder than hierarchy.
- You are a software engineer who enjoys building robust engineering tools that directly impact hardware design. You thrive at the intersection of software and mechanical engineering, and you're comfortable collaborating with structural, loads, and aero teams to translate physics into scalable, reliable code.
- You think in systems, care deeply about performance and usability, and take pride in writing clean, well-structured Python that engineers trust for critical design decisions.
- You're motivated by hard technical problems-whether that's implementing aeroelastic solution sequences, building composite stress analysis tools, or architecting databases that make complex loads data accessible and actionable.
- To achieve this, we are integrating our advanced airframe and engine technologies-which include Duality™, our proprietary dual-use propulsion system-with a new flight operations model to make supersonic transport as efficient and economical as commercial air travel is today.
