About the role
It’s in the name, Scaled Composites. For a variety of reasons, Scaled typically builds our airplanes out of composite materials. And the skillset to design structures out of composites is unique. But then again, so are we. The work of this role typically starts with an outer mold line (OML) and a set of high level requirements. From there, the composite design engineer develops a structural concept, defines detailed requirements, and sets about designing and analyzing a structure that meets the needs of the airplane. While there will be a fair share of brackets and door handles, this role will typically own a significant chunk of the structure required of the program. This will vary based on size and complexity, but responsibility for the wing, fuselage, empennage, cabin, or even all of the above is likely. We are looking to add experienced composites design engineers to our team. Ideally, these candidates would have the capability and drive to evolve into leadership positions in rather quick fashion. If you’ve worked on composite aircraft structures in depth, and can bring a significant body of knowledge and abilities on day one, please consider applying!
What you'll bring
- Clearance Type: None
- 5+ years of relevant composite aircraft structure design experience
- Foundational knowledge of aircraft load paths, structural sizing, and composite manufacturing / assembly
- Strong understanding of the theory and practical application of composite structures and their application to aircraft
- Proficiency in 3D Computer Aided Design
- Great verbal and written communication skills
- Great interpersonal and conflict resolution skills
- Ability to work in isolation with minimal supervision as well as on large teams
- Ability to work in multiple engineering disciplines on an aggressive schedule
- Bachelor of Science in a relevant engineering discipline or substantial equivalent experience
- Ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret security clearance.
- Prior experience in leading and managing teams of engineers
