Aerospace Systems Engineer

Axalp Technologies is a small, dynamic company shaping the future of aviation and related fields through our specialized engineering development and prototyping for selected customers. Join our highly talented and motivated team, and work on challenging tasks developing cutting-edge systems, ranging from new-design eVTOL aircraft to solar-powered aircraft and other “advanced air mobility” (AAM) vehicles.

Your Contributions:

• Work with multi-disciplinary teams of engineers to execute all phases of the systems engineering process:
  • Define concepts of operations (CONOPS) for new aircraft
  • Define top-level requirements for systems, as well as subsequent levels of subsystems requirements
  • Track defined requirements against testable and verifiable milestones as the program evolves
  • Define system technical performance measures, including KPPs, TPMs, MOEs, and MOPs, and support their tracking over time
  • Support the generation of safety related plans, assessments, and documents (FHAs, FTAs, FMEAs, FMECAs)
  • Define and track technical and programmatic risks, including risk avoidance / risk mitigation plans
  • Support test planning, and tracing of tests to requirements
• Support the internal definition and refinement of systems engineering processes
• Help guide the design of system architectures
• Contribute to company proposals, reports, and presentations where needed

Minimum Requirements:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Systems Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related technical field
• 3+ years of professional experience in Systems Engineering
• Experience in applying systems engineering principles to complex aerospace systems
• English language skills, verbal and written

Desirable Qualifications:

• Specific prior Systems Engineering experience with unconventional aircraft or unmanned aircraft systems (UAS).
• Experience performing Safety Hazard Analyses
• Experience using Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools and principles
• Familiarity with FAA and EASA certification guidelines and processes for light aircraft, rotorcraft, and/or uncrewed aircraft

What we offer:

• Become an integral part of a highly skilled and motivated team
• Varied and exciting projects, including electric aircraft, VTOL systems, and uncrewed aircraft
