About the role

Today's aircraft contribute around 4% of global CO2 emissions, equivalent to the emissions of 200 million cars.
This is only going to increase: Air travel is forecasted to double by 2050, while meaningful efficiency gains using current airplanes have hit a wall.
It uses up to 50% less fuel and will be built to accommodate zero-emission hydrogen propulsion.

Novel Integration Design: Lead the development of advanced engine, nacelle, ebu, and APU installation concepts, specifically tailored for the unique challenges of BWB airframes.
Technical Integration & Analysis: Perform complex propulsion system analysis, ensuring seamless integration between the "bare engine," nacelle, and airframe.
Lead the development of advanced engine, nacelle, ebu, and APU installation concepts, specifically tailored for the unique challenges of BWB airframes.
Lead "hands-on" integration and engine build-up (EBU) activities at partner facilities in Mojave, CA, bridging the gap between theoretical design and physical implementation.
