About the role

STRATOLAUNCH HUNTSVILLE seeks a Chief Engineer to lead the Chimera high-speed airbreathing missile program. You will be the top technical authority, shaping strategy, managing risk, and guiding a multi-disciplinary team across aerodynamics, propulsion, avionics, airframe, GNC, and sensors. Strong leadership and communication are essential. You will coordinate with government customers and prime contractor leadership, drive technical reviews, staffing plans, and proposals.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
