• Create detailed 3D models and technical drawings using Siemens NX or similar CAD tools.
• Manage the release of engineering documentation using tools like Teamcenter.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration of cabin elements such as ECS, lighting, and trim into the overall aircraft design.
• Coordinate with external suppliers and vendors for component development and validation.
• Support manufacturing and quality teams by addressing issues related to cabin systems and non-conforming hardware.
• Conduct mechanical and thermal analyses to validate and optimize designs.
• Perform trade studies to evaluate design options based on weight, cost, structural integrity, and safety.
• Participate in structural and flammability testing, including planning, execution, and data evaluation.
• Propose design improvements and support product maturity throughout the development cycle.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Mechanical, Aerospace, or Aeronautical Engineering.
• Minimum of 7 years of relevant professional experience in mechanical design and development.
• Strong grasp of engineering fundamentals including statics, dynamics, and structural mechanics.
• Proficient with CAD software (Siemens NX preferred, SolidWorks acceptable).
• Familiarity with GD&T and the ability to create and interpret engineering drawings.
• Experience supporting manufacturing processes and resolving hardware non-conformances.

Preferred Experience:

• Knowledge of aerospace industry standards and certification processes.
• Proven leadership in managing cross-functional or integrated project teams.
• Background in field engineering or long-term product support.

Who You Are:

• A self-motivated engineer with a broad technical skill set and a passion for solving complex problems.
• Analytical and solution-focused, with a strategic approach to overcoming challenges.
• An effective communicator who can adapt messaging based on audience.
