Our corporate mission sums up the pride our employee-owners take in the work we do: "Lighting the Pathway of Freedom". And, as a Certified Evergreen ESOP, we have made the commitment to grow and sustain our company for the next 100 years! Come grow with us!
Torch Technologies is seeking an experienced and highly skilled Propulsion Engineer to join our dynamic team supporting an Army Aviation Program Management Office (PMO). In this mid-level role, you will lead and support the engineering management, design oversight, integration, and testing of critical aviation propulsion systems. Serving as a key technical resource, you will coordinate directly with contractors, military stakeholders, and airworthiness authorities to ensure the safety, reliability, and performance of our next-generation and legacy aircraft fleets.
This position offers an excellent opportunity to manage complex, cutting-edge military aviation technologies and play a direct role in shaping the future of national defense.
As a Mid-Level Propulsion Engineer your duties will include the following, but are not limited to:
  • Technical Management & Oversight: Lead the technical management and engineering oversight of the design, development, integration, and production of aircraft turbine engines and auxiliary power units (APUs).
  • FADEC Systems Engineering: Manage the integration, verification, and validation of Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) systems and software, ensuring compliance with cyber-security and safety-critical standards.
  • Aircraft Survivability (IRSS): Oversee the design, evaluation, and physical integration of advanced engine exhaust and Infrared Signature (IRS) systems to optimize aircraft survivability.
  • Test & Evaluation (T&E): Oversee the planning, execution, and data analysis of propulsion system ground, laboratory, and flight testing, ensuring compliance with military test protocols.
  • Ancillary Subsystem Integration: Direct the engineering management of critical propulsion subsystems, including fuel control, lubrication, engine starting, and diagnostics/prognostics (health monitoring) systems.
  • Technical Review & Airworthiness: Conduct rigorous engineering reviews of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) technical reports, design specifications, qualification test plans, and Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) to support Airworthiness Releases (AWR).
  • Cross-Functional Leadership: Collaborate with logistics, systems safety, program management, and flight operations to align propulsion engineering schedules and milestones with overall program goals.

Required Qualifications:
  • U.S. Citizenship
  • Bachelor degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline from an ABET-accredited institution.
  • 5+ years of progressive engineering experience in aviation propulsion, turbine engines, or aerospace systems engineering.
  • Active DoD Secret (or higher) Security Clearance.
  • Strong working knowledge of gas turbine thermodynamics, FADEC architecture, engine/airframe physical and functional integration, and military airworthiness qualification processes.
  • Demonstrated experience executing systems engineering processes, including system-level reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR) and technical risk management.
  • Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, with a proven ability to lead technical meetings and present complex data to military leadership and OEM contractors.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Master degree in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering.
  • Prior experience working within or directly supporting a DoD Program Management Office (PMO) or aviation defense program.
  • Familiarity with military standards (e.g., MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-882, MIL-HDBK-516) and the Defense Acquisition University (DAU) framework.
  • Proficiency with propulsion cycle modeling, data analysis tools (e.g., MATLAB, Simulink, NPSS), or CAD systems.
