Composites Design Engineer – Advanced Concepts

Required

• Bachelor's degree in aerospace, mechanical, materials, manufacturing engineering, or a related engineering discipline; 0–3 years of relevant experience. Composite coursework, internships, research, hands-on fabrication, or substantial design projects may satisfy the experience expectation
• Working knowledge of composite materials and processes, laminate and sandwich construction, bonded and mechanically fastened joints, engineering drawings, and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing. Able to create or modify 3D CAD and product definition, incorporate manufacturing and inspection constraints, and document design assumptions. Familiarity with damage tolerance, environmental durability, NDT, and repair considerations at an introductory level
• Coursework, internship, research, or project evidence involving a composite part, laminate/core definition, tooling or manufacturing process, joint design, aircraft build, Formula SAE, rocketry, or similar hardware. Proficiency in CATIA/3DEXPERIENCE or another production CAD system is acceptable evidence; the specific platform is not mandatory at entry level
• Ability to communicate technical assumptions, limitations, risks, and recommendations clearly and work effectively across disciplines
• Must be a US Person to be considered for the role
• Above and Beyond Qualifications:
• Experience supporting a new aircraft, transport-category aircraft, or another safety-critical complex product
• Experience taking work from concept through design review, build, integration, test, or certification evidence
• Experience improving engineering methods, automation, data quality, or cross-functional execution
• Physical Demands and Work Environment:
• This role requires extended computer work and regular access to office, laboratory, manufacturing, hangar, aircraft, and test environments. Occasional travel, hands-on hardware support, nonstandard test hours, and use of required personal protective equipment may be necessary.
• The wage listed here reflects our best faith estimate for this role. We pay competitively and base compensation on a variety of factors including skills, experience, industry background, and the evolving needs of the role. We remain committed to fair and equitable pay and we're happy to discuss during the interview process.
