Aircraft engineering and certification from concept to in-service support
Altitude Aerospace is a 180-engineer aerospace firm built around full lifecycle aircraft services—from new-platform development and structural design through certification (Transport Canada DAO, EASA, FAA) to 24/7 in-service support. The tech stack (CATIA, NX Nastran, Hypermesh, Python, MATLAB) reflects deep CAD and FEA work; active hiring is entirely senior-level engineers in Canada, with 12 open roles accelerating, signaling expansion in design and certification capacity rather than scaling existing functions.
Altitude Aerospace, founded in 2005, provides integrated engineering services across the aircraft lifecycle: product development from conceptual design through certification, aircraft modifications (STCs, major/minor changes), in-service engineering (AOG support, repair engineering), and maintenance engineering (data qualification, CAMO transition, MRO advisory). The firm holds regulatory delegation from Transport Canada, EASA, and the FAA. Operations span Montreal, Toulouse, and Portland, with active projects covering new aircraft development, special-mission platforms, business-jet modifications, and flight-test programs. Current pain points center on production scheduling, cost coordination, material/process standardization, and workflow consistency.
Primary tools: CATIA for CAD, NX Nastran and Hypermesh for finite-element analysis, plus Python and MATLAB for technical computing and analysis automation.
Yes. 12 active engineering roles open with hiring velocity accelerating; 11 are senior-level positions focused on design, certification, and structural engineering. All hiring currently in Canada.
The firm holds regulatory delegation: Transport Canada DAO (Design Approval Organization), EASA CVEs (Certification Verification Entity), and FAA delegate status for aircraft modifications and certification activities.
