Melbourne, FL (on-site) · Posted July 14, 2026

Why it's interesting

A defense/aerospace digital-engineering FDE that reports into Customer Success, not sales — so the career trajectory stays technical. You integrate Istari's platform into live CAD, CFD, FEM, and simulation pipelines inside mission-critical programs. Rare Florida 'Space Coast' FDE seat, and a toolchain that narrows the candidate pool to people who actually know engineering software.

The role

Embedded FDE operating inside aerospace and defense customer organizations while staying tied to Istari's product and engineering core. You write real code, architect integrations, and build software that slots Istari's digital-engineering platform into existing toolchains (CAD, CFD, FEM, simulation pipelines). On-site in Melbourne, FL; $143K–$165K. Verified on Istari's own Lever board; surfaced via a LinkedIn listing the maintainer captured.
