About The Position

Game Aerospace is a growing business that designs, manufactures, and sells composite airplanes. Our hand-crafted airplanes are delivered and flown around the world. We’re not looking for someone who just knows aerospace, we’re looking for someone who can build, test, break, fix, and improve real hardware. As an Aerospace Design Engineer, you’ll design and develop general aviation components and systems—but more importantly, you’ll own problems from concept to flight-ready reality. You’ll work on both type-certified aircraft in production and new aircraft in development, getting your hands dirty alongside manufacturing, testing, and certification. If you’re the kind of person who doesn’t wait for perfect instructions, figures things out, and takes pride in making things work in the real world, you’ll fit here.

Requirements

Degree in Aerospace, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent equivalent hands-on experience
2+ years of relevant experience in aerospace design, manufacturing, or similar

Nice To Haves

Composite design or fabrication experience
Experience working on certified aircraft or with FAA regulations
Familiarity with aircraft hardware (AN fasteners, etc.)
Background in manufacturing, fabrication, or shop environments

Responsibilities

Design components and systems for general aviation aircraft—from first concept through production and certification

Write and execute test plans, certification documents, and compliance reports
Work directly with manufacturing to solve real production problems and improve designs
