About the Role
Design mechanical systems and aircraft structures from concept through production and flight test. Develop and maintain the aircraft mass properties model, tracking and reporting weight, center of gravity, and inertia. Build automation between CAD/PLM tools to eliminate manual workflows. Own engineering design libraries and administer engineering databases. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to evaluate design trades and support aircraft integration, manufacturing, and testing. Continuously improve engineering workflows and digital engineering capabilities.
Responsibilities
- Design mechanical systems and aircraft structures from concept through production and flight test.
- Develop and maintain the aircraft mass properties model, tracking and reporting weight, center of gravity, and inertia.
- Build automation between NX, Teamcenter, and mass properties analysis tools using Python and NX Open to eliminate manual workflows.
- Own engineering design libraries, including standard materials, hardware, and reusable design elements.
- Administer engineering databases that drive aircraft mass properties, ensuring designs use approved materials, hardware, and engineering standards.
- Collaborate with structures, systems, manufacturing, and flight sciences to evaluate aircraft-level design trades and understand the impact of design decisions on weight, balance, and performance.
- Support aircraft integration, manufacturing, ground test, and flight test, incorporating lessons learned into future designs.
- Continuously improve engineering workflows, design standards, and digital engineering capabilities as the team grows.
Requirements
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
- 2–7 years of experience designing aerospace or other highly engineered mechanical systems.
- Experience with NX/Teamcenter or a comparable CAD/PLM system.
- Interest in developing CAD automation using NX Open, Python, or similar tools.
- Strong understanding of aircraft mass properties and why weight, center of gravity, and inertia are critical to aircraft performance.
- Experience building engineering tools, automating workflows, or improving engineering processes.
- Strong understanding of mechanical design, materials, and standard hardware selection.
- Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to move comfortably between design engineering, scripting, and data management.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate across multiple engineering disciplines.
- Hands-on mindset with a bias toward execution and continuous improvement.
