Aircraft Structures Design Engineer

Create and maintain Advance Airframe CAD models, drawings of installations, assembly and detail components that meet all requirements such as structural integrity, interface boundaries, weight and cost targets as directed by the lead.

Produce airframe structural configuration layouts and detail designs including preliminary sizing/stress analysis, joint layouts, interface boundary definitions of parts and assemblies employing metallic and composite materials.

Experience with the composite part detail process, including composites stacking sequence, lamination theory, honeycomb core, bonded assemblies, manufacturing assembly and fabrication processes, post-cure machining operations.

Coordinate and collaborate with members of stress, manufacturing, procurement, quality control and other departments as required to mature the design from conception to production.

Strong technical background including familiarity with industry standards for the manufacture, repair and assembly of composite components for aerospace.

Experience with engineering and manufacturing development and production of structural parts and assemblies utilizing composite materials.

Experience with prototype and/or rate part production with exposure to tool design, manufacturing planning and hands on fabrication.

Position requires proficiency in Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerance and drawing standards, including Model Based Definition; e.g., ASME Y14.1, ASME Y14.2, ASME Y14.5, ASME Y14.37, and ASME Y14.41.

Position requires working knowledge of classical and numerical (Finite Element) stress analysis methods.

Fundamental knowledge of composite and metallic materials and structural joints.

Can accept broad objectives with reasonable deadlines, but establishes and communicates the tasks required and how they should be completed.

Must demonstrate the ability to document and present information in a concise manner appropriate for leadership review.

Ability to create and maintain parametric product geometry models is desired.

Capable of working within an Integrated Product Team (IPT) environment, interfacing with IPT leadership, suppliers, and other technical disciplines to independently prepare/status and/or lead the preparation of engineering design solutions to challenging problems through the development of Product Definition Packages.
