Aerospace Solutions Advisor, SME

Gecko Robotics

Technical leadership & product input

• Serve as the lead technical voice on aircraft structural integrity, maintenance and inspection workflows, and NDT methods for all aerospace product development and POVs.

• Translate depot/operator/maintenance practices and constraints into concrete product requirements, acceptance criteria, and validation plans.

• Define inspection/NDT scope, success criteria, and data-quality thresholds for pilot opportunities and production deployments (e.g., understand what great looks like, where the pain points are with current processes).

Commercial & GTM support

• Provide credible representation of Gecko to senior customer stakeholders maintenance chiefs, sustainment leaders, program offices, primes, and airline/airframe technical operations leads.

• Support capture efforts by writing technical sections of proposals, mapping requirements to engineering solutions, and participating in customer technical discussions that require deep domain credibility.

Coaching & cross-functional enablement

• Mentor engineers (mechanical, software, NDT/level II/III staff) to raise domain fluency in aerospace sustainment, NDE interpretation, and operator language.

• Contribute to internal training materials, playbooks, and deliverables to ensure the broader team can speak confidently with customers.

Execution & customer engagement

• Advise on technical execution for pilot programs and deployments. Own the high-level inspection plan and success criteria, ensuring product claims and scopes reflect operator, depot, and regulatory expectations.

• Be Gecko s senior technical face to customers. Serve as the credible contact for senior maintainers, program offices, primes, and sustainment leadership run briefings, answer technical questions, and resolve escalations.

• Coordinate cross-functional delivery. Translate customer objectives into realistic execution plans and align Operations, Engineering, and Product on feasibility, resources, and risks.

• Turn results into decisions. Synthesize post-job findings into clear recommendations for customers and product teams, highlighting confidence, risk, and required follow-ups.

• Provide high-level technical guidance. Recommend appropriate inspection approaches and data expectations, and identify when issues require escalation to working-level NDT or engineering specialists without owning procedure-level implementation.
