Full job description

Overview

B2Space is an innovative and dynamic aerospace company leading technological advancements in the space industry. Our mission is to deliver reliable, flexible, and cost-effective access to Low Earth Orbit (LEO) for small and micro satellites, making space accessible for everyone.

As we scale our operations, we are looking for a Lead Aerospace Engineer with 10+ years of experience to guide our team and oversee the technical work behind our high-altitude balloon platforms and flight systems.

Role Overview

As a Lead Aerospace Engineer at B2Space, you will connect high-level project goals with daily engineering work. With 10+ years of experience, you will support and direct a team of engineers, oversee design architectures, and ensure safety and technical standards from initial concept through to launch.

Key Responsibilities

Team Leadership & Project Management

Manage & Support: Directly lead, mentor, and build a team of aerospace, mechanical, and systems engineers, encouraging innovation, technical quality, and open teamwork.
Technical Oversight: Act as the main technical expert for high-altitude balloon projects, including pointing, recovery, guidance, and altitude control systems.
Project Delivery: Work alongside program managers to map out project schedules, assign team resources, plan risk management, and track project budgets for major flight campaigns.

Engineering Design & Analysis

System Architecture: Lead the end-to-end design, analysis, and refinement of high-altitude balloon subsystems using CAD, MATLAB/Simulink, and Python.
Aerodynamic & Thermal Performance: Supervise advanced fluid dynamics (CFD) and environmental modelling to improve aerodynamic performance and thermal stability at near-space altitudes.
Testing & Launch Operations: Direct launch campaign prep, environmental testing, verification steps, and field operations, making sure safety rules and standards are strictly followed.

Cross-Functional Work

Coordinate cross-functional engineering work so mission requirements and industry standards are met smoothly.
Communicate directly with external partners, suppliers, and regulatory bodies on technical requirements and project updates.

Experience: 10+ years of practical engineering experience in aerospace or space, including at least 3–5 years leading teams or projects.
Education: Bachelor’s degree or higher (Master’s/PhD preferred) in Aerospace, Mechanical, Systems Engineering, or a related field.
Leadership Track Record: Proven background bringing complex hardware/software subsystems through the complete lifecycle, from concept to testing, validation, and flight.
Modelling & Simulation: Advanced skill in MATLAB, Simulink, and Python for complex modelling, dynamic simulation, and data analysis.
Design & CFD: Advanced skill in 3D CAD modelling and strong working knowledge of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for aerodynamic performance.
Standards & Systems Engineering: Strong practical understanding of systems engineering processes, requirements management, FMEA, and testing methods.

Work Authorization
