Requirements
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline
- 5+ years of experience in aircraft, aerospace, defense, robotics, or complex electromechanical system development
- Experience designing machined, fabricated, composite, and sheet metal components through production release
- Experience leading mechanical integration of aircraft subsystems or complex assemblies
- Advanced CAD proficiency with NX, SolidWorks, CATIA, Creo, or equivalent
- Experience with PLM systems, engineering data, product structures, BOMs, and drawing releases
- Knowledge of aircraft installation practices, subsystem packaging, interface management, equipment mounting, and maintainability
- Experience with installation layouts and routing for EWIS, hydraulic, fuel, pneumatic, ECS, or similar systems
- Knowledge of GD&T, ASME Y14.5, tolerance stack-up, and drawing-release processes
- Experience supporting manufacturing, prototype builds, production issue resolution, or MRB activity
Responsibilities
- Lead mechanical integration of complete aircraft subsystems from concept through production
- Develop installation architecture, subsystem packaging, equipment mounting, and electrical and fluid routing
- Lead the design of machined, composite, fabricated, and sheet metal assemblies
- Develop and review installation drawings, assembly documentation, and configuration baselines
- Perform tolerance analyses, structural hand calculations, and engineering trade studies
