Propulsion Engineer

As a Propulsion Engineer at Poseidon Aerospace, you will lead the selection, integration, and validation of powerplants across our aircraft fleet, including MoGas, AvGas, and turboprop systems. Your primary focus will be delivering propulsion solutions that are reliable, efficient, and seamlessly integrated into our aircraft. Were looking for someone who can balance hands-on technical expertise with system-level thinking, driving designs from concept through flight-ready implementation on tight timelines.

Responsibilities

• Select, evaluate, and integrate piston and turboprop powerplants into new aircraft platforms.

• Own propulsion system architecture, including engine installation, mounts, cooling, exhaust, and fuel delivery.

• Perform analysis and testing to validate performance, efficiency, and reliability under demanding flight conditions.

• Lead system-level integration of propulsion with avionics, structures, and fuel systems, ensuring safety and certification alignment.

• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to bring propulsion solutions from concept through flight test.

• Document and communicate propulsion design decisions, test results, and integration strategies clearly across engineering and leadership teams.

Ideal Qualifications

• Strong background in aircraft propulsion, with hands-on experience in piston or turboprop engine integration.

• Familiarity with MoGas, AvGas, and turboprop engines, including practical experience with installation and maintenance.

• Proficiency with CAD software for powerplant installation and integration design.

• Demonstrated ability to validate engine systems through ground and flight testing.

• Strong collaboration skills, with the ability to align propulsion design decisions across disciplines.

Even if you dont meet every qualification listed, we encourage you to apply. At Poseidon Aerospace, we value diverse perspectives and are always looking for talented individuals with unconventional backgrounds.
