Industry: Hybrid-Electric Aerospace / Advanced Aviation

Location: San Jose

About:

This role sits within a clean-sheet propulsion and vehicle integration programme based in California.

It is not a minor modification effort. The team is rethinking propulsion architecture at aircraft level, including generator integration, high-power electronics, energy distribution, and advanced thermal management, layered onto an existing aircraft platform.

The programme also carries a defence-focused dimension, with applications spanning ISR, distributed operations, and mission-adaptable configurations. Technically, this is a multidisciplinary systems integration challenge suited to engineers who want ownership at vehicle level rather than remaining at isolated component level.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the design of structural elements and oversee propulsion system integration on full-scale prototype aircraft
• Develop detailed metallic components and assemblies supporting propulsion attachment, structural interfaces, and overall system integration
• Take ownership of the end-to-end prototype lifecycle including requirements definition, design, BOM creation, sourcing, assembly, and validation
• Carry out structural calculations and hand analyses to validate load paths, safety margins, and interface performance
• Perform finite element analysis on metallic structures and mounting systems to ensure design robustness
• Engage with external suppliers to evaluate and select suitable COTS hardware such as mounts, brackets, and fastening solutions
• Define and execute verification and validation test strategies, ensuring designs are proven through rigorous testing
• Produce and review detailed engineering drawings, specifications, and technical documentation
• Contribute to requirements capture, development, and traceability documentation
• Manage supply chain activities and drive procurement efforts for owned hardware
• Work closely with cross-functional engineering teams across multiple disciplines

Required Experience & Skills:

• 5–15 years of relevant engineering experience
• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline
• Experience integrating and/or designing flight-critical hardware attached to primary aircraft structure
• Strong proficiency in CAD tools such as NX or SolidWorks, with NX preferred
• Experience managing large CAD assemblies within PLM environments such as Teamcenter
• Solid understanding of load analysis, free body diagrams, and FEA methodologies
• Demonstrated experience designing complex metallic components and welded assemblies
• Strong knowledge of GD&T and creation of manufacturing-ready drawings
• Familiarity with aerospace hardware specifications and standards
• Hands-on engineering experience across multiple technical domains, particularly metallic and composite structures
• Clear and effective communication skills

Desirable / Additional Qualifications:

• Degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent technical field
• Experience working with electric propulsion, powertrain systems, or broader aerospace systems
• Strong understanding of full product development cycles including design phases, manufacturing, and global supply chain coordination
• Experience using tools such as Jira and Confluence for project tracking and documentation
• Background supporting vehicle development from early prototype phases through certification and production
• Familiarity with Part 23 certification requirements and/or ARP4754A processes

About Nucleus

Nucleus is a research-driven talent and intelligence platform for the next generation of investors, built at the intersection of data, experimentation, and community. We hire investors for some of the best firms in the world and are building the network, community, and intelligence layer around the people shaping the future of venture and company building.

The Role

This is a foundational hire working directly with the founder across research, community, events, client relationships, fellow experience, and search execution. One day you may be building cap tables. Another you may be running a mixer for 40 fellows or sitting in on a GP hiring conversation at a top firm.

The title is intentional. You will be in the room early, learning how the best firms operate and earning responsibility as you prove you can carry it. Over time you will own projects and workstreams. The starting point is proximity, pattern recognition, and high output across a wide surface area.

The founder focuses on strategy, vision, brand, community, and high-trust client relationships. Your role is to absorb the operational surface area so his time goes to the work only he can do. Nothing drops while he goes deep.

What the work looks like

• Work side by side with the founder across research, community, content, events, and client delivery
• Own the operational follow-through: prep materials, follow-ups, scheduling, and keeping workstreams moving between meetings
• Conduct research on investors and firms. Build and maintain the Nucleus Brain so the founder can go deeper on priority engagements.
• Collaborate on candidate shortlists and search materials for active client work
• Help coordinate NEXT Fellowship programming, pod logistics, and fellow experience
• Plan and execute community events: mixers, firesides, dinners, partner programming
• Draft and edit external communications: emails, proposals, partnership materials, client decks • Contribute to content across Nucleus Intelligence, Substack, social, and the Rise podcast
• Help shape brand and media presence
• Pick up whatever needs to get done so nothing falls through the cracks

Who you are

• 1 to 2 years in a high-intensity environment: investment banking, management consulting, executive search at a top firm, or an operating role at a venture-funded startup
• Genuinely curious about venture capital, the people in it, and how the industry actually works
• Technical bias. At the least, you are highly analytical by nature and can find information others can't and synthesize it clearly
• Warm, high-energy, and natural with people. You make rooms better when you walk in.
• Excellent writer with a tight, dense style
• Comfortable with ambiguity and context-switching in a fast-moving, founder-led environment
• Based in San Francisco or NYC. Remote will be considered. Must be in the US and be willing to travel.

Why this role

You will have a front-row seat to how the best venture firms operate, hire, and think about talent. You will build relationships with builders, investors, LPs, and emerging managers that most people spend years trying to access. And you will help build a company from the ground floor with real revenue, real clients, and a vision that extends well beyond search.

Promotions follow ownership and output, not tenure. We stay intentionally lean. Earn it, and the path to real ownership is short.
