Open positions

Director, Systems Integration

Hybrid · Ottawa

The Director of Systems Integration will own the architecture for a system of systems, bridging autonomy and aerospace engineering organizations. They are responsible for defining interface control documents, setting integration standards, and resolving architecture-level conflicts to ensure mission success.

Senior Airframe Stress Engineer

On-site · Ottawa

Lead structural architecture, interfaces, trade studies, and sizing for assigned major structures from concept through final design, while developing stress tools, methodologies, standards, and workflows. Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams and represent stress engineering in design reviews, program reviews, customer interactions, and supplier engagements to ensure designs are feasible, manufacturable, and compliant.

Senior Project Manager, Aircraft Program Development (ACP)

Hybrid · Ottawa

Own the aircraft program’s engineering scope, schedule, development cost, and risks across disciplines, maintaining the baseline and resolving conflicts before they threaten delivery. Lead engineering execution from concept through flight test, manage reviews and subcontract deliverables, and provide reliable status and technical inputs to the Program Manager and customer.

Mechanical Engineer - Thermal Design

On-site · Ottawa

You will design and develop thermal management solutions for rugged, sealed electronics to ensure reliable performance in harsh environments. This involves performing thermal analysis, simulation, and validation while collaborating with cross-functional teams to meet production and performance constraints.

Senior Advanced Design Engineer

On-site · Ottawa

Lead conceptual and preliminary design for structural architectures, interfaces, and systems integration while performing design layouts and sizing. Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to ensure designs are feasible, manufacturable, and compliant with regulatory requirements.

Air Autonomy Team

Hybrid · Ottawa

You will develop and implement autonomous tactical behaviors for combat platforms using a hybrid approach of behavior trees and learned policies. This role involves taking these behaviors from simulation through to hardware integration, testing, and performance analysis on actual test aircraft.

Aerodynamics Engineer

Hybrid · Ottawa

You will perform high-fidelity CFD simulations to predict vehicle performance and stability while building aero databases for flight dynamics models. Additionally, you will participate in ground and flight testing to validate models and iterate on design geometries based on real-world telemetry.

Vehicle Management System Engineer

On-site · Ottawa

You will design, integrate, and validate the central Vehicle Management System architecture to bridge mission-level autonomy with vehicle control. Additionally, you will manage flight-critical avionics suppliers and lead HIL integration, bench testing, and troubleshooting efforts.

Autonomous Collaborative Platform (ACP) - General Interest

Hybrid · Ottawa

You will design, build, test, and fly demonstrator aircraft while scaling toward a certified production line. Responsibilities include integrating complex systems, developing mission software, and ensuring airworthiness for autonomous collaborative platforms.

Powerplant Engineer

Hybrid · Ottawa

You will own the propulsion system architecture, including engine selection, performance modeling, and physical integration into the airframe. Additionally, you will manage subsystem interfaces, support production and flight testing, and define maintenance protocols for continued airworthiness.

Aircraft Systems Integrator

Hybrid · Ottawa

The Aircraft Systems Integrator will architect and define system interfaces across electrical, mechanical, and logical boundaries for autonomous aircraft. They will lead the design of hardware-in-the-loop test rigs and provide engineering support during ground runs and flight testing.

Aircraft Configuration & Layout Engineer

Hybrid · Ottawa

Define and manage the authoritative 3D aircraft configuration, including geometry, layout, and subsystem integration from concept through preliminary design. Establish and maintain the weight and balance baseline while conducting performance analysis and trade studies to optimize mission capability.

Corporate Systems Engineer
