Flight Performance Engineer

Performance Modeling | Test Data Reduction | Database Validation

Position Overview

Tiberius Aerospace is seeking a Flight Performance Engineer to support vehicle and engine performance modeling, test data reduction, and database validation for our advanced air vehicle and munition programs. This role is the bridge between CFD, ground and flight test, and the performance models that the broader program relies on. You will build and maintain reduced-order performance models, reduce test data from wind tunnel and engine test campaigns, and help close the loop between predicted and measured performance. This is a strong fit for an analytically minded engineer who wants exposure across modeling, test, and design without specializing purely in CFD.

What You'll Bring

• B.S. or higher in Aerospace Engineering or a related field.
• 4 or more years of experience in aerodynamics, propulsion, or flight performance analysis, which may include relevant graduate research, internships, or industry experience.
• Proficiency in tools and methods for performance modeling, data analysis, and automation.
• Working knowledge of aerodynamic and propulsion fundamentals including coefficient definitions, engine cycle performance, and flight mechanics.
• Familiarity with reduced-order vehicle performance modeling such as 3-DOF or point-mass trajectory simulation.
• Exposure to CFD-derived aerodynamic and propulsion databases and how they are integrated into performance models.

What You'll Do

• Build and maintain flight vehicle and propulsion performance models, including reduced-order simulation environments, used to predict and track program-level performance.
• Support generation and maintenance of aerodynamic and propulsion databases, integrating CFD and test-derived data into a consistent, well-documented format.
• Reduce and analyze test data from wind tunnel, ground engine test campaigns, and flight testing, supporting comparison against model predictions.
• Support test planning activities including instrumentation requirements definition, test point selection, and success criteria development for ground and flight test campaigns.
• Document correlation results and update models as new data becomes available.

Compensation & Benefits

Tiberius Aerospace offers competitive base compensation commensurate with experience, equity participation, comprehensive health benefits, and 401(k). Specific compensation will be discussed during the interview process.
