LTA Benefits Overview

Lead system-level safety, verification, certification, and architecture for complex lighter-than-air aircraft programs. Own SSAs and analyses including FHA, PSSA, FMEA/FMECA, and FTA; establish MBSE, requirements, integration, and certification strategies; coordinate regulatory compliance and certification artifacts; guide multidisciplinary engineering teams; mentor senior engineers; manage supplier and airworthiness-authority partnerships; and resolve ambiguous cross-system anomalies.

Design and validate complex mechanical, thermal, and fluid systems for flight and ground equipment. Produce CAD models and GD&T drawings, run FEA and thermal/structural analyses, plan and oversee qualification testing, ensure manufacturability with manufacturing partners, and resolve failures via root-cause analysis while collaborating across engineering teams.

The Senior Software Engineer will lead software development for safety critical systems, collaborating with cross-functional teams to design, test, and validate software for an experimental airship, from concept to flight.
