Senior Mechanical Engineer, Monuments

Summary Creates complex designs of VIP aircraft monuments and mechanisms to meet customer criteria, quality standards, FAA requirements, budget, and project schedules using Computer Aided Drafting/Design tools. Essential Duties & Responsibilities Design complex monuments such as cabinets, bulkheads, vanities, lavatories, tables, divans, and other payload items. Design complex mechanisms for tables, doors, drawers, divans, and other moving features. Analyze and interpret subsystem and project specifications. Select materials for mechanical designs based on structural needs and material specifications, evaluating trade‑offs to meet design objectives. Collaborate with manufacturing engineers to optimize designs for reduced parts counts, lower manufacturing costs, and minimized assembly error. Understand Bills of Materials, assembly concepts, and fabrication specifications. Ensure designs meet customer criteria, quality standards, and FAA requirements. Adhere to budget and project schedules. Provide design guidance and feedback to other engineering personnel. Maintain state‑of‑the‑art knowledge in mechanical design practices, materials, components, and software tools, independently solving problems requiring research and creativity. Work with the Design Department to develop aesthetic product designs that meet market needs and customer acceptance. Support test setup preparation and development of test reports. Maintain regular attendance, arriving on time and working full shifts. Other duties as assigned.
