About the role
WHAT YOU’LL DO:
- Utilize first principle methods and design tools to develop new aircraft products - Own development of primary and secondary aircraft structural parts and assemblies (metallic and composite) from preliminary design through prototype manufacturing - Perform complex modeling and finite element analysis at the detailed component level, major assembly level, and aircraft level (analysis simulations to include strength, buckling, damage tolerance, and delamination) - Apply design for manufacturing concepts to create solutions that are cost effective and easy to manufacture at rate - Conduct trade studies and perform design and analysis research of complex engineering concepts to determine an optimal solution for weight, performance, manufacturability, cost, and/or schedule - Collaborate in a multidisciplinary environment to solve complex, open-ended problems with an emphasis on schedule and cost objectives - Coordinate work with mechanical systems, systems integration, aerodynamics, manufacturing, project engineering, and other team members - Onsite engineering support at manufacturing and integration sites
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
- B.S. in Aerospace Engineering or Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent experience - 5+ years of experience in aerospace or related industry - Strong technical knowledge in core engineering principles, fundamental mechanics of composite materials, design, analysis, testing, and fabrication - Deep understanding of load paths, design practices, and hand calculations to design robust structurally efficient assemblies - Proven ability to design high performance structures and execute their fabrication - Self-directed, results oriented, and capable of working in a dynamic environment - Excellent time management, organizational, and communication skills - Ability to obtain and maintain US DoD Secret Clearance or higher
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience with clean sheet aircraft configuration - Experience with high temperature materials - Experience with thermal gradient structural analysis - Siemens NX proficiency - Experience with fast paced prototype design and manufacture of uncrewed aircraft - Experience with high temperature materials selection - Prior experience working in high speed programs - Hands-on experience with manufacturing - Practical aircraft knowledge (pilots license, A&P, etc.)
