About The Position

As a Sr. Mass Properties Engineer, you will research, design, develop, test, certify, deploy and support cutting-edge products & services. These cover a very wide range from state-of-the-art mission payloads and electronic systems through highly integrated aircraft. You'll be responsible for taking a leading role in developing weight control plans on large aircraft modification. Your technical responsibilities involve supporting multiple programs from a mass properties perspective, from conceptual design studies to large aircraft modification programs, to quick-reaction upgrades. You will generate mass properties databases to track weight and CG estimates, and support aircraft weighing, as well as ensuring that the right mass properties reporting is communicated across the team and to external customer and suppliers in an effective and timely manner.
