About the role

You will be one of a small group of engineers responsible for the airframe and composite structures of this aircraft from concept through production hardware. That means driving structural design and development, translating performance and weight targets into things that can actually be built, generating CAD that goes straight to hardware, sizing structure and joints under real constraints, and setting the standards the team builds on. You will run design reviews, own DFM, work directly with manufacturing and suppliers, and mentor the engineers around you.

What you'll bring

  • You have designed composite airframe structures that flew.
  • You have owned the full arc from blank sheet to production hardware and have the intuition that only comes from doing it on real programs under real pressure.
  • You think in laminates, load paths, and joints.
  • You have solved problems that didn't have a textbook answer.
  • You have probably done it on a small team where there was no one to hand it off to.
