Destinus; Payerne; On-site; CHF 100,000 - 140,000; Full time

Job summary

Destinus engineering team seeks a Structural Design Engineer to own CAD design of aeronautical structures from concept through production support. Working in Siemens NX, you will design flight structures as well as test jigs, fixtures, and production equipment to build and qualify them.

You will collaborate with Stress, Propulsion, and Avionics, owning design packages end to end and contributing across the full development cycle from R&D through release and production support.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering.
• 3-5 years of industry experience in structural or mechanical CAD design.
• Proficiency in Siemens NX for part modelling, drafting, and assembly design.
• Solid working knowledge of GD&T and aerospace drawing standards.
• Experience designing for manufacturability and assembly (DFM/DFA).
• Ideally experience across multiple development phases: design, build, integration, test, and operation.
• Background in aerospace, defence, or a similarly regulated hardware environment.

Responsibilities

• CAD design of aeronautical structures in Siemens NX - detailed part modelling, 2D drafting, and assembly modelling
• Design test jigs, fixtures, and production/support equipment for structural, functional, and qualification testing
• Deliver engineering calculations, analysis, and supporting documentation to substantiate design decisions
• Produce and maintain design documentation—drawings, specifications, bills of materials, and configuration records
• Integrate structural, mechanical, and interface requirements from Stress, Propulsion, and Avionics into the design
• Manage suppliers and manufacturers - address technical questions and resolve issues arising during the manufacturing process
• Participate in design reviews and technical discussions across all development phases
• Support junior engineers and interns in mechanical design, manufacturing, and CAD
