Description
We're hiring a Senior Model Design Engineer to provide technical leadership across wind tunnel model development, taking aerodynamic surfaces from concept through to a build ready for testing.
In this technical leadership role, you will take ownership of complex, high risk and cross functional projects, define the technical approach, identify risks early and coordinate the engineers needed to solve them. You'll sign off your own work within your area of competence and know when to escalate.
Key Responsibilities
- Provide technical leadership for complex, high risk or cross functional wind tunnel model projects from aerodynamic surface through to test ready delivery
- Develop and review complex 3D CAD models and assemblies, covering loads, interfaces, mechanisms, materials and tolerances
- Own manufacturability and non conformance issues, and use the findings to improve designs, methods and standards
- Own multiple Model Part Generators, directing their development and improving consistency across the Model Design group
- Interpret FIA Restricted Wind Tunnel Testing requirements, resolve complex configuration and compliance questions, and sign off work within your competence
- Drive improvements to model accuracy, resilience, repeatability and test readiness
- Lead investigations into technical, structural or delivery issues through to closure
- Mentor colleagues, contribute to resourcing decisions and represent the technical view in cross functional discussions
