Aerospace and defense engineering for hypersonics, PNT and launch systems
Aurex is a Huntsville defense engineer working across hypersonics, missile programs, military GPS user equipment and launch integration. Its stack is simulation-heavy, combining ANSYS Fluent, STAR-CCM+, OpenFOAM, COMSOL, STK and hardware-in-the-loop rigs with Kalman filtering, which points to deep GNC and propulsion test work. Hiring is accelerating, almost entirely engineering and skewed senior, while reinforcement-learning projects for mission planning signal an AI layer forming on top.
Aurex is a privately held aerospace and defense company headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama, founded in 2007 and employing 201–500 people. It designs, tests and delivers defense platforms spanning hypersonics, missile defense, hardened networks and orbital systems. Its service areas include rapid prototyping, propulsion, avionics, manufacturing, launch site integration and launch logistics. Engineering teams work with tools such as SolidWorks, Creo, Altium Designer, MATLAB, SysML and Mastercam, with cloud workloads on AWS, Azure and Kubernetes. Hiring is concentrated in the United States.
Aurex uses CFD and simulation tools like ANSYS Fluent, STAR-CCM+, OpenFOAM and COMSOL, CAD in SolidWorks and Creo, Altium and OrCAD for electronics, MATLAB, STK, C++, Python, plus AWS, Azure and Kubernetes.
Yes. Aurex's hiring is accelerating and focused almost entirely on engineering, mostly senior-level roles, all based in the United States.
Current work includes hardware-in-the-loop propulsion integration and testing, next-generation military GPS user equipment, hypersonic vehicle dynamics and CFD analysis, and reinforcement learning for mission planning.
