About the role
As part of the Flight Mechanisms team, you will be responsible for design, development, validation, and eventually certification of components including primary and secondary flight control actuators, propulsion and landing gear components, and environmental control (ECS) components. You will work with electrical, software, and mechanical engineers across teams to build and fly complex systems.
What you'll bring
- 2+ years experience using CAD software in a professional environment (e.g., NX, CATIA, SolidWorks or similar).
- Strong mechanical engineering fundamentals, including design (CAD), analysis (FEA/hand calcs), and fabrication (machine shop)
- Experience with pneumatic, hydraulic, and/or electromechanical (motorized) systems.
- Passion for aircraft and electrification of the aviation industry.
- 5+ years experience using CAD software in a professional environment (e.g., NX, CATIA, SolidWorks or similar).
- Thorough familiarity with aerospace design and regulatory standards (e.g., FAA, EASA) such as DO-160G, MIL-STD-810, or similar.
- Demonstrated experience with hand-calculation methods for preliminary and verification analysis of complex mechanical systems.
- Strong understanding of mechanical manufacturing fundamentals, including advanced GD&T concepts and application for mechanisms.
- Proven capability to take designs from concept through to analysis and production, working independently and collaboratively with cross-functional teams.
- Bachelor's in mechanical engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, or similar engineering discipline.
