You are at your best when analytical models, measured data, configuration details, and sound judgment all have to come together.\nExperienced Opportunity\nThis position requires relevant professional experience. To be considered, your resume must clearly demonstrate that you meet the minimum qualifications listed below.\nIf you are beginning your engineering career, please explore our Early-Career Engineering Opportunities\nYour Opportunity\nMass properties engineering supports the development and production of Gulfstream aircraft by helping teams understand and manage weight, balance, inertia, mass distribution, and configuration impacts. In this role, your analysis will help engineering teams solve difficult technical problems, evaluate design choices, and maintain accurate aircraft mass properties information. You will contribute specialized expertise while working across disciplines to support the quality and effectiveness of Gulfstream products.\nWhat You Will Do\nPerform mass properties analysis, including weight estimation, center-of-gravity calculations, moments of inertia, mass distribution, weight tracking, and configuration-based reporting.\n\nDevelop and apply analytical approaches to solve difficult engineering problems within schedule and cost objectives.\n\nSupport important engineering projects through planning, analysis, coordination, and technical problem solving.\n\nProvide specialized mass properties guidance to engineering team members and collaborate with groups outside your immediate area.\n\nUse engineering models, drawings, bills of material, measured data, and configuration information to improve the accuracy of mass properties analysis.\n\nLook for practical ways to improve daily engineering processes, quality, and effectiveness.\n\nWhat Success Looks Like\nYour weight, balance, inertia, and mass-distribution analyses are accurate, consistent, and useful to engineering decisions.\n\nYou choose sound analytical methods, understand uncertainty, and explain the reasoning behind your conclusions.\n\nYou reconcile models with measured data and investigate differences rather than accepting results at face value.\n\nYou manage engineering and configuration details carefully so reporting reflects the correct aircraft configuration.\n\nYou work independently on challenging problems while partnering effectively across engineering disciplines.\n\nYou stay current in your specialty and identify improvements that strengthen product quality and engineering effectiveness.\n\nWhat You Will Bring\nRequired\nBachelor's degree, or an equivalent combination of education and experience sufficient to perform the essential functions of the job.\n\nAt least 5 years of experience in a Mass Properties Engineering role.\n\nExperience with weight estimation, center-of-gravity calculations, moments of inertia, mass distribution, weight tracking, and configuration-based reporting.\n\nAbility to read, write, speak, and understand English.\n\nEducation and experience framework\nWith a bachelor’s degree, the source requirement calls for 5 years in a specific technical discipline or 10 years of broad engineering experience across several technical disciplines. Related advanced-degree credit may be considered up to 2 years for a master’s degree and 4 years for a PhD in a field applicable to the role.\n\nPreferred\nDetailed knowledge of aircraft structures, systems functionality, and design, ideally with commercial or business aircraft experience.\n\nEngineering estimation, uncertainty assessment, trade studies, and sensitivity analysis.\n\nAbility to reconcile analytical models with measured data.\n\nExperience extracting and validating mass properties from 3D computer-aided design (CAD) models and interpreting engineering drawings and bills of material.\n\nExperience managing engineering model configurations using CAD or product lifecycle management systems such as CATIA, NX, ENOVIA, or Teamcenter.\n\nExperience with MATLAB, Python, similar analytical tools, or advanced Excel.\n\nAn advanced degree in an engineering-related field.\n\nApply Now\nIf you're ready to make an impact and help shape the future of business aviation, we invite you to apply. Join a team where your contributions help fulfill Gulfstream's mission to create and deliver the world's finest aviation experience.\nEducation and Experience Requirements\nBachelor's Degree required or equivalent combination of education and experience sufficient to successfully perform the essential functions of the job. 5 ys in specific technical discipline or 10 yrs broad eng experience in several technical disciplines with Bachelors. Experience credit considered for related adv degrees limited to 2 yrs for Masters, 4 yrs for PhD in fields applicable to this job.
