Job Overview
We are seeking a skilled and motivated Design Engineer with 34 years of experience in the aerospace industry. The ideal candidate will have hands‑on expertise in CATIA and SolidWorks, along with a strong understanding of aerospace design principles, standards, and regulations. You will be responsible for designing, modelling, and developing aerospace components and systems, collaborating with cross‑functional teams to ensure project success.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and Development:
- Create detailed 3D models, assemblies, and 2D drawings of aerospace components using CATIA and SolidWorks.
- Develop innovative design solutions that meet performance, weight, and cost targets.
- Perform design modifications and improvements based on feedback, testing, and analysis.
Technical Documentation
- Prepare and maintain engineering drawings, bill of materials (BOM), and design documentation in compliance with aerospace standards (e.g., AS9100, GD&T).
- Ensure designs adhere to regulatory requirements and customer specifications.
Collaboration and Support
- Work closely with multidisciplinary teams, including stress analysis, manufacturing, and quality assurance, to ensure design feasibility and manufacturability.
- Participate in design reviews, risk assessments, and problem‑solving sessions.
Validation and Testing
- Support prototype development, testing, and validation activities.
- Analyse test results and incorporate findings into design iterations.
Continuous Improvement
- Stay updated with industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in aerospace design.
- Contribute to process improvements and optimization initiatives.
Qualifications and Skills
Essential:
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical/Aerospace Engineering or a related field.
- 3-4 years of hands‑on experience in aerospace design and development.
- Proficiency in CATIA V5/V6 and SolidWorks (advanced surfacing, assembly design, and drafting).
- Strong knowledge of aerospace materials, manufacturing processes, and industry standards (e.g., AS9100, GD&T).
- Experience with design for manufacturability (DFM) and design for assembly (DFA).
- Excellent problem‑solving and analytical skills.
Preferred:
- Familiarity with simulation tools (e.g., ANSYS, NASTRAN) for stress/thermal analysis.
- Knowledge of composite materials and additive manufacturing in aerospace.
- Experience with PLM/PDM systems (e.g., ENOVIA, Windchill).
- Understanding of aerodynamics, structural mechanics, and systems integration.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary and benefits package.
- Opportunities for professional growth and skill development.
- A collaborative and innovative work environment.
- Exposure to cutting‑edge aerospace projects and technologies.
