About The Position

Altitude Aerospace delivers engineering and certification solutions for commercial and VIP aircraft programs worldwide. With FAA DER, EASA DOA, and TCCA DAO approvals, we support customers from concept through certification and in-service. Our 150+ person team across the US, Canada, and France works on programs for major OEMs and completion centers globally. We offer 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance, SIMPLE IRA retirement plan, paid vacation and PTO, and 8 paid holidays. You will work on aircraft mechanical systems: environmental control systems (ECS), water and waste, and oxygen. The current program is early and partly conceptual, so you will help shape the design, not just document it. We are hiring at the mid and senior levels.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering, or related field
Mid level: 3+ years of mechanical systems design experience. Senior level: 7+ years, including system level design and leading other engineers.
Aircraft mechanical systems experience is ideal. Transferable experience also counts, such as hydraulics or ECS on non aircraft systems, if you can jump in and get your hands dirty quickly.
3D CAD experience. Inventor is a plus.
Strong communication and cross discipline collaboration skills
Must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident and able to perform this work within the United States
Able to work onsite in the Bothell, WA area

Create drawings and schematics for ECS, water and waste, and oxygen systems.
Work fairly complex system designs through to finished drawings.
Lead system level design and work through dependencies with other teams.

Research possible solutions and turn customer requirements into design level solutions on an early stage program.
Work closely with the electrical, monuments, and other engineering groups your systems touch.
