  • Strong leadership presence with experience mentoring engineers and influencing cross-functional teams  
  • Demonstrated ability to own product lifecycle from conceptual design to validation
  • Curious, inventive, and entrepreneurial mindset-thrives in ambiguity and drives progress relentlessly 
Preferred Qualifications
  • Advanced degree (M.S. or Ph.D.) in Mechanical, Aerospace, or Chemical Engineering 
  • Direct experience leading hot-fire testing campaigns in rocket propulsion, gas turbines, or similar environments 
  • Proficiency in programming for data analysis and automation (Python, MATLAB, etc.) 
  • Prior success in startup or fast-paced hardware development environments 
Benefits & Compensation
  • Pre-IPO stock options
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance (Arbor covers 90% for employees)
