The Aeromechanical team at Pivotal is always interested in connecting with a highly skilled and motivated Verification Engineer to support future growth and opportunities within our engineering team.

Depending on future business needs, you might take on end-to-end ownership of verification activities for aeromechanical subsystems. You will take requirements through design, test planning, execution, and reporting, working across both test design and physical testing environments.

This is a highly cross-functional role that sits at the intersection of requirements, design, test, and validation, and is critical to ensuring the performance, safety, and reliability of our aircraft.

What You Might Work On
  • Own verification of aeromechanical components and subsystems from requirement through validation and reporting
  • Translate verification methods into compliance tests defined acceptance criteria
  • Design test fixtures using CATIA (3DEXPERIENCE platform), and define the test instrumentation
  • Generate CAD releases and support fabrication (in-house and external vendors)
  • Work directly with technicians and suppliers to build test hardware
  • Develop detailed test plans including environmental and structural testing
  • Define instrumentation strategies and data acquisition methods
  • Execute tests in labs and external facilities, troubleshooting issues in real time
  • Analyze test data, identify failure modes, and drive corrective actions
  • Produce comprehensive test reports
  • Support design reviews and cross-functional collaboration
  • Drive rapid iteration between design and testing
What We're Generally Looking For
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field
  • Experience designing and testing mechanical or aerospace systems
  • Strong background in CAD and hands-on hardware testing
  • Experience developing test plans and writing engineering reports
  • Strong problem-solving and debugging skills
Preferred Experience
  • Experience with CATIA V5/V6 or 3DEXPERIENCE platform
  • Hands-on environmental testing (thermal, vibration, etc.)
  • Structural testing experience (static, fatigue, lifecycle)
  • Familiarity with aerospace standards (e.g., DO-160, FAR part23)
  • Experience designing test fixtures and instrumentation
  • Experience in prototype or R&D environments
Attributes aligned with Core Values
  • Demonstrates a proactive safety mindset by embedding safety into daily operations, identifying and mitigating risks through assessments and training, encouraging open dialogue on safety concerns, and continuously improving protocols to ensure a safe work environment.
  • Puts customers at the center of every action by deeply understanding their challenges, delivering exceptional value, and striving to exceed expectations to support their success as our core purpose.
  • Actively seeks and values diverse stakeholder perspectives, builds cross-functional relationships, and fosters trust through empathetic, fact-based communication-committing to shared decisions for the greater good.
  • Drives results with clarity and purpose by focusing on what matters most, adapting to change, taking initiative, and owning outcomes while aligning actions with a clear understanding of success at every level.
  • Navigates ambiguity with resilience and bold thinking, challenges the status quo, and combines innovative ideas with practical best practices to overcome obstacles and drive progress.
  • Fosters a high-performance culture grounded in respect, professionalism, and support-balancing high expectations with a healthy, collaborative environment and being a trusted, dependable teammate.
