Lead Design Structures Engineer
Full-time
Apera
My aerospace client is looking for a strong Design Structures Engineer open to onsite in San Diego, CA developing a clean-sheet, next-generation aircraft platform. You will take technical ownership of the airframe and lead structural development from early design through build, test, and first flight.
This is a hands-on technical design leadership role for someone who has deep experience in aircraft structures, composites, and full-cycle airframe development.
What You’ll Own
- Lead the structural design and development of a clean-sheet aircraft
- Own the overall airframe structural approach from concept through first flight
- Work closely with manufacturing, analysis, suppliers, and company leadership
- Drive structural design decisions around load paths, joints, composites, manufacturability, and assembly
What We’re Looking For
- 8+ years of aircraft structural design experience
- B.S. in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent experience
- Strong understanding of aircraft load paths and structural behavior
- Deep experience with composite airframe structures
- Familiarity with FAA Part 23 and/or Part 25
- Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced aircraft development environment
This is an opportunity to have significant technical ownership over a new aircraft rather than owning a small piece of a mature program.
Interested? Send me a message or apply directly to learn more.
