study, assessment, and mitigation of noise and vibration, air quality,
and sustainability impacts, providing our clients with innovative,
scientifically grounded solutions. We are seeking a senior-level
business developer and project manager to lead the strategic growth of
our high-speed aerospace noise service area for projects funded or
regulated by federal agencies. The ideal candidate is a recognized
expert in the analysis of environmental aviation noise for both linear
and non-linear acoustic sources (e.g., space launch, supersonic, and
hypersonic vehicles) or related disciplines, with a strong record of
managing complex projects and cultivating long-term relationships with
federal agencies and contractors and commercial operators, and a passion
for developing new market areas and expanding business opportunities in
evolving markets. Likely clients include the Air Force, Space Force, and
other Department of Defense entities, General Services Administration
(GSA), NASA, and FAA, as well as commercial space companies and
stakeholders. This is a highly visible leadership role that combines
business development, program and project management, and technical
oversight. The position involves significant travel (approximately 30%)
