Aerospace Engineer II (Certification)

SNC is redefining the future of airborne intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (A-ISR) and RAPCON-X™ is at the center of that transformation. RAPCON-X has already demonstrated itself as a disruptive, next-generation ISR platform, delivering unmatched flexibility, performance, and survivability in near-peer environments. Its digitally born architecture, MBSE-driven design, and modular, sensor-agnostic approach create a platform capable of rapid evolution and mission-specific configuration without aircraft redesign.

As an Aerospace Certification Engineer, you will play a critical role in transitioning RAPCON-X and future A-ISR platforms from cutting-edge prototypes into mission-ready operational capabilities. You will lead and support aircraft certification, airworthiness compliance, flight-test approvals, engineering authorization activities, and regulatory engagement efforts across highly integrated aircraft systems, mission equipment, and ISR payloads. Working directly with multidisciplinary engineering teams, flight-test organizations, military airworthiness authorities, and certification stakeholders, you will help ensure these advanced airborne platforms safely and efficiently achieve approval for real-world operations.

Built on a modern commercial-derivative aircraft and engineered for global operations, RAPCON-X offers exceptional range, endurance, reliability, and readiness for Aircraft Survivability Equipment (ASE) to bolster survivability in complex, peer-to-peer threat environments. As SNC expands its portfolio of advanced A-ISR solutions, certification and airworthiness professionals play a vital role in enabling these platforms to move from innovation to operational deployment.

In this role, you won't just support certification activities. You'll
