Senior Advanced Design Engineer

You carry structural and systems architecture from concept through defence-program certification — layouts, trade studies, interfaces, and using your experience to quickly call the right material and architecture ahead of formal stress sizing — on a platform where the design freeze hasn't happened yet and your calls now determine what's expensive to fix later.

At an established OEM, this role plugs into existing design standards and a large structures organization; at Dominion Dynamics, you're helping set those standards while doing the design work itself, across metallic and composite construction, with certification as a constraint from day one rather than a phase-gate someone else worries about.

You work daily with Aerodynamics, Propulsion, Avionics, and Systems Engineering to keep structure and interfaces converging with the rest of the vehicle, and you're close enough to the build to see a design decision go from CAD to hardware fast — not wait two review cycles to find out it didn't fit.

Lead conceptual and preliminary design for structural architectures, interfaces, surfacing, and systems integration.

Perform design layouts and sizing across configurations and trade studies for primary and secondary structures.

Run and contribute to design reviews, and improve the design processes and methodologies as the team builds them.

Work with multidisciplinary teams to keep designs feasible, manufacturable, and compliant with regulatory requirements.

Set modelling standards and workflows for the structures and systems teams as the function scales.

Represent structures and systems engineering in program reviews, customer interactions, and supplier engagements.
