About Electra

Air travel is about to become something more: more direct, more accessible, and more connected to the places where people live, work and want to be. Every day in the U.S., people make 35 million trips of 50–500 miles, stuck in traffic or routed through crowded hubs. Chances are, you've been one of them. At Electra, we're changing that with the EL9, a nine-passenger, hybrid-electric aircraft that takes off and lands in just 150 feet. Our Ultra Short technology opens up thousands of new places to fly, beyond conventional runways, congested airports and long drives. We're backed by Lockheed Martin, Honeywell and Safran. Operators worldwide have signed intent-to-purchase agreements for the first 2,200 aircraft we produce, and we're moving toward first test flights in 2027.

Getting a new kind of aircraft airborne takes more than ambition. It takes our kind of bold: people who think big while working in the real world. Who move ideas into action and collaborate without silos. Who put people first and make room at the table for everyone. Who challenge one another without diminishing one another.

Sound like you? Then look beyond what you thought were your own limits, and help us take flight beyond runways.

Multi-disciplinary Test & Simulation Engineer

The Role

As a Test & Simulation Engineer at Electra, you’ll build and maintain the ground test and evaluation labs we rely on to validate the EL9’s systems before they fly. You will work with internal customers and stakeholders develop SIL / HIL labs for flight controls, avionics, and hybrid propulsion where your work has direct product impact.

What You’ll Do

  1. Build and support SIL / HIL labs to replicate end-to-end simulation of aircraft operations.
  2. Build and integrate real-time simulation models using RTOS platforms and model-based development tools (e.g., Simulink, MATLAB).
  3. Develop custom interfaces between disparate simulation models and hardware components.
  4. Maintain configuration control and documentation for all simulation environments in support of FAA Part 23 certification activities.
  5. Collaborate with the functional IPTs to define test requirements and resolve integration issues.

What You Bring

  1. Bachelor's degree in engineering or related discipline or combination of education and equivalent experience (aerospace, electrical, mechanical, or software preferred).
  2. 2+ years of experience in simulation development, systems integration, or related engineering roles.
  3. Experience with hardware integration testing in SIL/HIL lab environments.
  4. Hands-on experience with model-based development tools such as MATLAB / Simulink or equivalent a plus.
  5. Familiarity with real-time operating systems (RTOS) and hardware interface development a plus.
  6. CAA (FAA/EASA) certification program experience a plus.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
