Aerospace Systems Engineering Manager

About the Role

Electric Power Systems (EPS) is seeking an Aerospace Systems Engineering Manager to lead system-level development of safety-critical lithium battery propulsion platforms used in electric aircraft and advanced defense applications.

This role is responsible for managing a team of aerospace systems engineers focused on:

• Aircraft-level integration
• Requirements capture & allocation
• System safety analysis
• Certification-driven development
• Verification & Validation planning
• Hardware / Software interface definition

As a vehicle-level aerospace systems engineering leadership role, you will own system-level engineering outputs from concept through qualification and certification across development and production programs.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead system architecture, requirements traceability, and verification strategy for electric propulsion battery systems
• Manage execution of safety analyses (FHA, SSA, FTA, CMA, PRA, FMECA, etc.)
• Support certification programs (TSO / STC / Experimental)
• Coordinate cross-functional development with:
  • Mechanical Engineering
  • Embedded Software
  • Test Engineering
  • Manufacturing
  • Program Management
• Ensure compliance with aerospace development standards (DO-254, DO-178, etc.)
• Allocate engineering resources across development programs
• Identify technical risks impacting certification or schedule milestones

Required Background

• Bachelor's in Aerospace, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering
• 5+ years of aerospace systems engineering experience
• Experience with certification-driven development environments
• Demonstrated ownership of system-level requirements from concept through qualification
• Familiarity with aerospace integration, safety analysis, and verification processes

Preferred

• Electric propulsion or lithium-ion battery platform experience
• DOORS / JAMA requirements management
• RTCA DO-160 / MIL-STD-810 / MIL-STD-461 familiarity
• Experience supporting FAA certification programs
• Agile or Lean product development environments

Why EPS?

Electric Power Systems develops high-voltage propulsion-class energy storage systems supporting next-generation aerospace and maritime defense platforms.

Our systems are integrated into mission-critical platforms operating in dynamic environments where reliability, survivability, and system safety are essential to mission success.

Engineers at EPS work directly across mechanical, embedded software, manufacturing, and test disciplines to support development, integration, and qualification of flight- and vehicle-level propulsion systems from early architecture through environmental and certification testing.

If you're motivated by integrating propulsion or power systems into operationally relevant aerospace or maritime platforms and contributing to development programs where performance directly impacts mission readiness, EPS offers the opportunity to work at the forefront of electrified mobility.

This position is based onsite at our North Logan, Utah headquarters to support hands-on collaboration with development and test teams in hardware-integrated environments.
