Job Description Summary
We’re looking for a highly skilled and driven eVTOL Lead Aircraft Design Engineer with expertise to join our engineering team. This role entails designing and developing electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft for primary and secondary structures, Wing, Empennage and Fuselage, with focus on integrating cutting-edge technologies and achieving optimal performance. Aircraft testing-related expertise is an advantage for this position.
Job Description
- Design and build services for prototype eVTOL aircraft.
- Design of composite and metallic structure detail and assembly definitions.
- The design engineer along with a team of engineers must be capable of delivering design engineering, including but not limited to creation and cross check of model-based definitions within the 3D Experience digital mock-up (DMU).
- Must be able to co-ordinate with the Systems Integration team members to ensure structure is considerate of systems routing needs.
- The design engineer along with a team of engineers will report via a designated Lead through to the relevant Design Lead for the Programme(s).
- Support technical and customer reviews, including formal gate reviews, including the creation and preparation of technical data and presentations of product design.
- Perform Design activities and interact within the team and interface teams towards a common objective for design maturity.
- Define design solutions for new components / assemblies and modifications to existing components (Composites and metallic) according to cost, weight, quality, manufacturability, serviceability and performance.
- To provide evidence of design compliance with Customer / Technical specifications.
- Prepare drawings and other engineering data required for the manufacturing of the product and data submittal to the customer.
- Produce ECN as required to support manufacturing, customers, quality, and certification.
- Ensure own and teams’ quality of deliveries.
- Act as the technical interface with certification authorities to ensure compliance with airworthiness and certification standards.
- Delivery will require physical attendance at customer facilities for key meetings and design reviews, although an element of hybrid working between customer offices and Supplier offices is considered to be acceptable, this will be driven by customer/project requirements.
