Mechanical Design Engineer

Mechanical Design Engineer

The Mechanical Design Engineer is responsible for the design, analysis, integration, and documentation of structural and mechanical systems associated with aircraft modifications, repairs, and certification programs. This role combines the analytical responsibilities of a Mechanical Engineer with the CAD proficiency of a Mechanical Designer, independently developing complete engineering solutions from initial concept through released engineering data.

Qualifications:

• BS in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering
• 5+ years of experience designing, analyzing, and integrating mechanical systems, aircraft structures/modifications, and equipment installations
• Proficiency with SolidWorks (CSWP preferred)
• Experience performing structural, thermal, vibration, fatigue, or other engineering analyses supporting design and certification activities.
• Knowledge of engineering principles, ASME Y14.5 (GD&T), materials, manufacturing processes, and mechanical system integration.
• Familiarity with FAA regulations, aircraft certification processes, and STC projects (preferred)
• Familiarity with MIL-HDBK-516C airworthiness requirements and military aircraft modification programs (preferred)
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office
• Must be US Citizen or US Permanent Resident
• Familiarity with configuration management, engineering release processes, and aerospace quality systems such as AS9100.
• Ability to work in both office and aircraft hangar environments.

Responsibilities:

• Design, analyze, and document aircraft structures, mechanical systems, equipment installations, and aircraft modifications supporting repair, alteration, and certification programs.
• Develop complete engineering solutions that satisfy customer requirements, regulatory requirements, airworthiness standards, and program objectives.
• Independently develop, revise, and maintain 3D CAD models, engineering drawings, and supporting engineering documentation in accordance with company standards and ASME Y14.5.
• Develop and maintain BOMs, engineering documentation, and associated design data under configuration control.
• Perform engineering analyses including structural, thermal, vibration, fatigue, and other evaluations necessary to support design decisions and certification activities.
• Coordinate with engineering, certification, production, quality, program personnel, vendors, and customers to develop complete engineering solutions and data packages.
• Support development of certification artifacts, compliance substantiation, engineering reports, test plans, and supporting documentation required for regulatory approval.
• Evaluate manufacturability, maintainability, serviceability, installation considerations, and lifecycle impacts throughout the design process.
• Provide technical support during fabrication, assembly, installation, troubleshooting, testing, and aircraft modification activities.
• Participate in engineering design reviews and provide technical recommendations regarding safety, performance, reliability, maintainability, and regulatory compliance.
• Maintain engineering data under configuration control and ensure work products comply with company standards, procedures, and drawing practices.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives, development of engineering standards, modeling practices, and lessons-learned activities
