Sr. Aerodynamic Engineer at JetZero
Long Beach, CA 90801
About the Job
What is JetZero?Today’s aircraft contribute around 2.5% of global CO2 emissions, equivalent to the emissions of 200 million cars
This is only going to increase: Air travel is forecasted to double by 2050, while meaningful efficiency gains using current airplanes have hit a wall.JetZero is developing a blended wing aircraft
It uses 50% less fuel and can accommodate zero-emission hydrogen propulsion
JetZero is the inevitable solution to sustainable air travel.The JetZero teamWe are experienced aerospace professionals and engineers, excited about the future
That future will only be possible if we share our vision and what it means to people’s lives: carbon-free flight that's better for both passengers and carriers. This is why we’re hiring an Sr
