What is an aero?

Aero jobs refer to careers in the aerospace industry, which includes designing, developing, testing, and maintaining aircraft, spacecraft, satellites, and related systems and equipment. Professionals in this field can work as aerospace engineers, technicians, pilots, or in support roles such as manufacturing and quality assurance. Aero jobs often require strong knowledge in mathematics, physics, and engineering principles, and may involve working with cutting-edge technology. Opportunities exist in both the private sector (such as commercial airlines and aerospace manufacturers) and government agencies (like NASA and the military).

How does an aero engineer typically collaborate with other departments during the aircraft design process?

Aero Engineers work closely with teams from structural engineering, avionics, manufacturing, and quality assurance throughout the aircraft design process. This collaboration ensures that aerodynamic principles are balanced with safety, performance, and manufacturability requirements. Regular meetings, cross-functional design reviews, and shared simulation data help align objectives and address challenges early. Effective teamwork and clear communication are essential for integrating complex systems and delivering a successful final product.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an aerospace engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Aerospace Engineer, you need a strong background in physics, mathematics, and engineering principles, typically supported by a bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering or a related field. Proficiency with CAD software, simulation tools like MATLAB, and familiarity with industry standards and certifications such as those from the FAA are commonly required. Excellent problem-solving abilities, teamwork, and effective communication are vital soft skills for collaborating on complex projects. These skills and qualifications are crucial for designing, testing, and improving aircraft and spacecraft while ensuring safety, compliance, and innovation in a highly technical field.

What is the difference between Aero vs Pilot?

AspectAeroPilot
Required CertificationsAircraft Maintenance Engineer License, Aero-specific trainingCommercial Pilot License, Flight hours
Work EnvironmentAircraft maintenance facilities, hangarsAircraft cabins, cockpit, flight decks
Industry UsageAircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaulFlying, navigation, and flight operation

While Aero primarily refers to aircraft maintenance and engineering roles, pilots are responsible for flying and navigating aircraft. Both roles are essential in the aviation industry but focus on different aspects of aircraft operation and maintenance.

Job description

Our Company

Whisper Aero is pioneering a more compelling and connected future by delivering cleaner, quieter, and more efficient propulsion solutions. Today's open rotor propulsion systems are challenged by safety, noise, and performance limitations at all scales. Whisper's breakthrough technologies allow aircraft to fly anywhere at any time without disturbing communities, at greater speeds, and with incredible improvements in efficiency and cost. Their innovations also enable a new generation of air moving products that can blend into the soundscapes of daily life. Whisper was founded by industry veterans, Mark Moore and Ian Villa, and continues to innovate a future that's as considerate as it is compelling with its world-class team in Tennessee. 

About the Role 

Whisper Aero is seeking a propulsion engineer experienced with the aerodynamic design of compressors and/or fans at the conceptual and preliminary levels. The candidate must demonstrate high proficiency in the following areas: 

  • Fundamentals:  
  • Aerodynamics 
  • Fluid Mechanics 
  • Propulsion 
  • Thermodynamics 
  • Object-oriented programming (Python preferred) 
  • Design and optimization 

 Additional areas of relevant expertise include: 

  • Software development  
  • Airfoil/cascade design 
  • Aeroacoustics  
  • Parametric geometry generation 
  • CAD 
  • Low-mid fidelity aero/propulsion analysis tools 
  • CFD 
  • Propulsion integration 

What You'll Do 

  • Support the design of Whisper Aero's propulsion technology. Responsibilities include but are not limited to: 
  • Continued development of Whisper Aero's proprietary fan design software. 
  • Conceptual and preliminary aerodynamic design of electric ducted fans, including design space exploration of high-level propulsive characteristics, optimization of detailed cascade geometry, and aerodynamic shaping of duct, centerbody, and other components, all subject to product requirements and manufacturing constraints. 
  • Validation and calibration of performance models against CFD and test results. 
  • Documentation and maintenance of design and performance artifacts. 
  • Continued innovation of fan designs and design processes. 
  • Participation in design reviews, interviews, and proposal writing 

Basic Qualifications 

  • U.S. Person status is required, as this position may access export-controlled data 
  • Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering or relevant technical discipline with a minimum of 4 years of related experience, Master's degree in similar disciplines with a minimum of 2 years of related experience, or PhD in similar disciplines. 
  • Demonstrated experience with the aerodynamic design of compressors and/or fans 
  • High proficiency in aerodynamics, fluid mechanics, propulsion, and thermodynamics 
  • Experience with the design and optimization of compressors and/or fans at conceptual and preliminary stages 
  • Expertise in object-oriented programming (Python preferred) 
  • Effective written and oral communication skills 
  • A willingness to work on tasks outside your primary job functions 
  • Familiarity with AI tools (not just ChatGPT, Claude, or an AI notetaker).

Bonus Qualifications 

  • Familiarity with electric ducted fan design and optimization processes 
  • Knowledge of manufacturing constraints for aerodynamic components 
  • Experience with: 
  • Airfoil/cascade design 
  • Aeroacoustics 
  • Parametric geometry generation and CAD tools. 
  • Low to mid fidelity aero/propulsion analysis tools 
  • Propulsion system integration 
  • Understanding of software development practices 
Benefits: 
  • Top-tier Benefits: Employee-first focused comprehensive benefits package, minimum of 90% employer-paid plans for employees and dependents with optional HSA/FSA account offerings
