About the Role
You will provide hands-on aeromechanical engineering support for aircraft programs, including CAD review, drawing and scan-data interpretation, structural design, reverse engineering, and GD&T automation. You will translate customer needs into engineering and software requirements, own technical work packages, develop and qualify analytical methods, lead technical reviews, engage customer stakeholders, support product proposals, and mentor colleagues on aircraft engineering workflows.
Requirements
- B.S. in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent engineering experience
- 8+ years in aerospace mechanical design or structural engineering with hands-on responsibility on new-build or modification aircraft programs
- Hands-on CAD skills and fluency with mechanical engineering toolchains, including PLM/PDM and finite-element modeling
- Command of aircraft structures, GD&T, metrology, tolerance stack-ups, and design conventions
- Experience developing, validating, and formally qualifying analytical methods, design tools, or engineering approaches
- Fluency in the aircraft development lifecycle, including requirements, design, SRR, SDR, PDR, and CDR
- Ability to scope technical work, make tradeoffs, and deliver to a schedule
- Practical software fluency and ability to work effectively with software engineers
- Eligibility to access export-controlled information
- Qualification as a U.S. person for access to export-controlled technical data, U.S. Government systems, and customer facilities
Responsibilities
- Provide hands-on aircraft engineering support through CAD model review, drawing and scan-data interpretation, and assessment of geometry, tolerances, materials, and design intent
- Translate customer requirements, technical standards, and work instructions into engineering and software requirements
- Own technical work packages, including scope, schedule, risk, and quality
- Coordinate with software and delivery leads and partner with forward-deployed engineers to develop and validate tools and workflows
- Develop and qualify analytical methodologies, design tools, and engineering toolchains
- Lead technical reviews and develop evidence supporting method and tool acceptance
- Lead technical discussions with customer engineering and sustainment teams, primes, and program offices
- Use customer feedback and delivery experience to shape product priorities and follow-on work
- Support aerospace product and go-to-market efforts through technical discovery, concepts, demonstrations, and proposals
- Mentor colleagues on aircraft structures, engineering toolchains, design reviews, and customer processes
