Top Aerospace Jobs in Boston, MA

Develop state estimation and navigation algorithms for autonomous systems operating in GPS-denied environments. Build production-grade C++ software for embedded Linux robotic platforms, create modeling and simulation tools, and implement comprehensive testing and validation. Collaborate on roadmap planning and agile execution while improving benchmarking and performance-analysis pipelines. The role requires professional C++ expertise, state estimation algorithm experience, sensor-fusion familiarity, and the ability to deploy reliable autonomy software.

Develop deep learning and 3D computer vision models for state estimation, visual navigation, localization, depth, correspondence, and pose estimation. Own data preparation, training, evaluation, benchmarking, and reproducible workflows. Integrate learned measurements into VIO and terrain-relative navigation systems, optimize models for onboard compute, and collaborate with deployment, software, systems, and flight-test teams to deliver production-ready Hivemind SDK components.

Leads cross-functional aerospace engineering projects for FAA-certified avionics systems. Responsibilities include defining scope and schedules, managing budgets, risks, technical issues, baseline changes, EVM, certification coordination, customer engagement, proposals, and status reporting. The role requires collaboration across engineering, manufacturing, certification, program management, and business teams while ensuring delivery on schedule and within budget.

Design, develop, prototype, integrate, and test electronic systems for innovative air vehicle and R&D platforms. Responsibilities include avionics, embedded systems, RF communications, power subsystems, analog and digital circuit design, PCB development, fabrication procedures, troubleshooting, and flight test support. The role requires cross-functional collaboration, hands-on system testing, and expertise in at least one area such as power systems, RF, or embedded control.

Lead a small engineering team while remaining hands-on, guiding software development from design through delivery. Build new products and scale existing systems, establish technical excellence, collaborate with platform engineers and domain experts, and work directly with customers and end users to deliver decision-making platforms for defense and airspace safety.

Supports urethane casting processes by troubleshooting production issues, leading CAPA and process-improvement efforts, developing process controls, and maintaining documentation. Leads manufacturing-floor projects involving process development, equipment onboarding, quality inspection, throughput, and cost reduction. Analyzes laboratory and production data, interprets customer specifications, collaborates across departments, and supports safe, efficient operations.

Lead supplier quality for complex electronic assemblies: perform supplier assessments, data-driven root-cause analysis, 8D/ corrective actions, AS9102 first article inspections, and supplier development using APQP/PPAP and continuous improvement to ensure delivery of first-time quality. Expect ~50% travel to supplier sites in the Northeast.

Develop and integrate avionics architectures for supersonic and hypersonic vehicles. Responsibilities include defining system requirements and interfaces, integrating flight computers, sensors, power and control electronics, supporting hardware bring-up and troubleshooting, executing qualification tests, resolving multidisciplinary integration issues, and maintaining technical documentation. Level III engineers also mentor junior staff and contribute to avionics architecture best practices.

Develop and maintain scalable Java and Spring Boot REST services, APIs, and microservices for mission-critical geospatial systems. Support containerization, orchestration, CI/CD, DevOps automation, testing, infrastructure deployment, data platforms, and third-party integrations. Contribute to architecture, performance optimization, troubleshooting, documentation, stakeholder demos, and Agile delivery. The role requires onsite work in Herndon, Virginia and collaboration on national security missions.

Own product and feature launches, positioning, messaging, go-to-market plans, sales enablement, and technical content. Develop collateral, case studies, thought leadership, vertical-specific messaging, and customer proof points for technical and executive audiences. Collaborate with product, engineering, sales, and design teams while tracking launch adoption, share of voice, and pipeline impact.

Provide technical leadership for structural and/or thermal-fluids analysis of aerospace vehicles and propulsion systems. Perform FEA, fatigue, fracture, thermal-stress, CFD, and 1D fluid modeling; validate models against test data; support loads development, anomaly investigations, and nonconforming hardware disposition. Collaborate with design, systems, manufacturing, and test teams while improving analysis methods, mentoring engineers, and supporting safety-critical aerospace systems.
