The Role Mach Industries is seeking a Senior Operational Performance Engineer to track vehicle performance and uncertainty from conceptual design through production and to lead the evidence strategy that closes the gaps. You will maintain the vehicle-level picture of predicted performance, measured performance, and the confidence each claim deserves. You will define the engineering questions that matter most, determine what analysis and test evidence is needed to answer them, and drive measured-data insights back into the conceptual design and MDAO tools that generate the next prediction. This is a vehicle-level engineering role. You will work across Conceptual Design, MDAO, GNC, Propulsion, Mechanical, Flight Test, and other engineering teams to track performance, identify risks, define evidence requirements, establish assessment criteria, and drive uncertainties toward closure. You will work closely with the Mass Properties and Vehicle Performance engineer, whose records and baselines feed your tracking and assessment work. This role is part of Operational Performance within Mach's Vehicle Design and Performance organization, alongside Conceptual Design and MDAO.
