Job Description

How you will contribute to revolutionizing electric aviation:

• Lead the design and development of composite aircraft structures, guiding a team of design engineers to deliver high-quality 3D models using 3DExperience Composites Part Design (CPD)
• Own a structural commodity driving its design strategy from concept through production release
• Select and champion the optimal CPD methodologies in line with manufacturing constraints and certification requirements
• Apply a deep understanding of composite materials and structural behavior to guide technical decisions and coach team members
• Coordinate cross-functionally with Stress, Manufacturing, Tooling, and Supply Chain to ensure robust and producible designs that meet cost, weight, and schedule targets
• Work directly with internal and external fabricators, providing technical guidance and resolving issues throughout the build process
• Review and approve design packages to ensure full compliance with company guidelines, industry standards, and certification requirements
• Contribute to process improvements, helping the organization mature design-release practices and configuration-management discipline
• Apply knowledge of composite manufacturing processes to ensure designs are production-ready
• Leverage experience in production and/or R&D environments to support practical, real-world solutions
• Provide technical leadership in problem-solving, removing roadblocks for the team, and keeping the package on track
• Prepare and oversee technical data packages to align suppliers and external partners with program needs

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent with a strong mechanical design focus).
• 10+ years of composite structures design experience in aerospace, including substantial exposure to commodity/package ownership
• Proven expertise in composite structural concepts such as self-stiffened skins, frame construction, and sandwich skin/frame design, plus hands-on manufacturing insight.
• Proficiency in 3D CAD tools (3DExperience or CATIA/ENOVIA preferred).
• Demonstrated ability to lead and mentor design engineers, set priorities, and drive team execution toward program milestones.
• Broad understanding of composites and hybrid composite/metallic structures, including related industry standards and certification requirements.
• Strong leadership aptitude, organizational skills, and communication abilities; effective in engaging cross-functional partners and resolving conflicts.
• Recognized as a self-starter and collaborative leader capable of solving technical challenges and delivering results under pressure.
