The mechanical and aerospace engineer level III will be responsible for supporting the maintenance and development of our legacy in-house developed software tools and providing technical analysis of reentry system performance in hostile and normal reentry environments. This analysis can include modeling the environments, and analyzing complex materials and structures and dynamic response of structures subjected to hypersonic aerodynamic loads and system responses to thermal and shock environments.
Key responsibilities include:
- Work in a team environment to plan and accomplish project goals and objectives
- Development and maintenance of in-house developed software programs and tools (FORTRAN, C++, Python)
- Support vehicle performance evaluations in hostile and atmospheric reentry environments with advanced computer modeling techniques
- Analyze, interpret, and assess simulation results
- Publish summary reports documenting results
- Write plans, reports, and presentations
- Present results to DoD customer and external reviewers
- Travel to meetings at national laboratories and customer sites
- BS 5-7 Years, MS 3-5, PhD 0-2
- Ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Top-Secret clearance
- Degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, materials science, software engineering, or related field.
- Experience with developing and running advanced computer models and software tools
- Experience with engineering analysis codes and techniques
- Experience with FORTRAN, C++, Matlab, and/or Python
- Experience with data analysis and statistical modeling methods
- Experience with writing plans and reports and briefing technical results
Preferred:
- Experience in the nuclear weapons complex (either DoD or DOE)
- Experience with Computer Aided Design (CAD)
- Experience with Finite Element Modeling (FEM)
- Experience with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
We are an equal opportunity employer and federal government contractor. We do not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment as protected by law.

What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in remote aerospace engineer jobs.
- Bachelor's degree in aerospace, mechanical, or electrical engineering from an accredited program
- Experience with structural analysis, propulsion systems, or flight dynamics modeling
- Proficiency in MATLAB, ANSYS, NASTRAN, or similar simulation and analysis tools
- Active or adjudicable U.S. security clearance at the Secret or Top Secret level
- Familiarity with FAA, MIL-SPEC, or NASA technical standards and documentation practices
- Experience with CAD software such as CATIA, SolidWorks, or Siemens NX for design work
Tips for Your Remote Aerospace Engineer Job Search
Tailor your resume to clearance requirements
Many aerospace engineer postings require or prefer a security clearance. Flag your clearance level, status, and sponsoring agency explicitly near the top of your resume so hiring managers can filter you in without digging through your work history.
Highlight mission-specific technical tools
Postings in propulsion, structures, and avionics almost always call out specific software: NASTRAN, MATLAB, ANSYS, or CATIA. Match the exact tool names from each job description to your resume rather than listing a generic 'CAD and simulation' line.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists aerospace engineer openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target your job search by program type
Defense programs, commercial launch, and satellite manufacturing each move on different hiring cycles and require different clearances and toolsets. Searching by program type or contract vehicle rather than just job title surfaces openings better matched to your actual background.
Prepare a technical portfolio before interviewing
Aerospace interviews routinely include design reviews or whiteboard analyses of trade studies, load paths, or thermodynamic cycles. Organize two or three past projects into a brief technical summary you can walk through clearly and concisely in a 30-minute session.
Negotiate relocation and clearance timing separately
Clearance-required roles often have long onboarding gaps between offer and start date. In your negotiation, address relocation separately from your start date, and ask the employer to confirm whether interim work is available while your clearance processes.
Remote Aerospace Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote aerospace engineer job?
Target companies that already run distributed teams, since they hire remotely by default and know how to onboard someone they never meet in person. Remote aerospace engineer employers screen hard for self-direction and clear written communication on top of the core skills, so show evidence you can own work without someone over your shoulder. Apply to the openings above that match your experience.
Which companies hire remote aerospace engineers?
Employers currently hiring remote aerospace engineers include RBC Bearings, Arcfield, and Astro Pak Corporation, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Remote-first firms and large companies running distributed teams post the most remote aerospace engineer roles.
Can you get a remote aerospace engineer job with no experience?
Yes, but it is harder than an on-site role, because remote work expects you to operate independently from the start. Entry-level remote aerospace engineer openings do exist, especially at remote-first companies, and a portfolio of real work helps more than a long resume. Applying broadly to the roles that fit improves your odds.
Do you need a degree for remote aerospace engineer jobs?
Not always. Many employers hire remote aerospace engineers on demonstrated skills and prior work rather than a specific degree, though some larger companies still prefer one. Showing relevant results matters more than a credential for most remote aerospace engineer roles.
Which industries hire the most remote aerospace engineers?
The sectors hiring the most remote aerospace engineers are Manufacturing, Consulting & Professional Services, and Medical Devices, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. These sectors run distributed teams and hire aerospace engineers remotely most consistently.
