About the role

You’ll lead the design of TRAULLER’s flying-wing airframe: aerodynamics, structure and the transition between hover, cruise and resting on the water.

What you’ll do

  • Own the aerodynamic and structural design of the 15-foot flying wing.

  • Run trade studies on planform, sweep, twist and rotor integration.

  • Set loads, margins and mass budgets with the rest of the team.

  • Take the airframe from CAD to built prototype to flight test.

What we look for

  • Seven or more years in aircraft or UAS design, ideally fixed-wing or VTOL.

  • Strong aerodynamics and structures fundamentals, and the tools to back them up.

  • You’ve taken hardware from a drawing to something that flew.
