Betatechnologiesinc The Senior Structures Design Engineer develops primary and secondary airframe structures for an advanced narrowbody aircraft from concept through preliminary design. This role involves structural architecture across wing, pylon, engine interfaces, fuselage, empennage, control surfaces, and high-lift installations.

Responsibilities

Develop structural concepts, load paths, layouts, and configuration trades for metallic, composite, and hybrid airframe structure
Create and manage three-dimensional CAD definition for primary and secondary structure, joints, attachments, interfaces, and installations
Translate aircraft-level requirements, loads, aerodynamic geometry, systems interfaces, and manufacturing constraints into structural design requirements
Work in parallel design lanes spanning wing primary structure; pylon and high-lift integration; and fuselage, empennage, and aircraft-level definition
Perform preliminary sizing and hand calculations to guide geometry before detailed stress substantiation
Design for manufacturability, assembly, inspection, maintainability, repair, weight, cost, and schedule
Develop interface-control definition, drawings, trade studies, design-review material, and configuration-controlled product data
Coordinate closely with Stress, Loads, Aerodynamics, Structural Dynamics, Materials and Processes, Systems, Manufacturing, and team counterparts
