Job Location: On-site - Greenville, TX 

Schedule: 9/80

Clearance: Must Be Able to Obtain a DoD Security Clearance

Job Description:

This position is a dynamic, challenging role that is focused on the creation of innovative design solutions in a collaborative, team-focused environment.

An ideal candidate for this role will exhibit mastery of CAD modeling and drafting concepts, and have experience in reviewing and approving designs and drawings.  They will be able to lead engineers in the design of detail parts, assemblies, and large installations for aircraft structure modifications, mission equipment integration, and mechanical systems with general supervision. Experience in aviation, aircraft structural design and/or modification is a must.

The candidate will apply an understanding of structural analysis into their designs and installation packages, and be able to communicate these concepts to their peers or engineers on their team. The candidate will be responsible for researching their projects to determine proper approach, conceptual development, preparation of engineering drawings, and generation of presentation materials for design reviews and customer facing meetings. The candidate will need to define and scope a project, and delegate tasks effectively. The candidate will coordinate their design activities with Tooling, Flight Sciences, Manufacturing, and Production to ensure that designs meet requirements while minimizing cost. Experience with Model Based Definition and GT&T is a plus, and experience in a production environment is preferred. Experience with meeting delivery schedules, tracking budgets, and general project management is highly desired. Experience in RFP’s, subcontracts management, and bidding is desired.

Design work will be accomplished with airworthiness considerations in mind, so experience with meeting FAA regulations and general aviation experience is desired. Mechanical design engineers have the opportunity to work on a wide variety of tasks and aircraft systems on various aircraft platforms, so flexibility and creativity are highly desired.
