Sr. Structural Design Engineer

Location: Remote

Department: United States

• Design structural aircraft systems and components in Siemens NX from concept through production release.
• Develop and manage 3D models, assemblies, and engineering drawings to airworthiness standards.
• Perform weight and balance studies to support component sizing and system layout decisions.
• Research and select components and materials based on structural performance, regulatory requirements, and customer specifications.
• Design metallic and composite structural elements including tanks, mounting structures, and integrated systems.

• Coordinate with lead engineers, stress, certification, and systems teams to ensure design intent is met.
• Manage configuration and release of parts and assemblies through PLM tools (Teamcenter or equivalent).
• Prepare engineering documentation and design presentations for internal and client reviews.
• Work cross-functionally with all required engineering disciplines to support program milestones.

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Aeronautical Engineering.
• 7+ years of structural design experience on aerospace programs.
• Expert-level Siemens NX user with strong 3D modeling and assembly design experience.
• Proficiency in GD&T and engineering drawing standards.
• Experience designing structural aircraft systems or installations from the ground up.
• Familiarity with PLM tools such as Teamcenter or equivalent.
• Ability to work independently and manage a design package with minimal oversight.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills across technical and non-technical audiences

• Experience designing aircraft fluid systems, tanks, or containment structures.
• Weight and balance analysis experience.
• Exposure to Special Missions, military aircraft, or modification programs.
• Composite structural design background.
• Familiarity with FAA or EASA certification requirements for structural modifications.

• Real Programs: Work on active Special Missions aircraft programs where your designs go on real aircraft.
• Ownership: Take meaningful design packages from concept to release with direct program visibility.
• Variety: Exposure to a wide range of aircraft platforms and program types across a global engineering team.
• Growth: Small enough to own significant work, large enough for complex international program exposure.

• This position may be performed onsite or remotely within the United States only.
• Background check and drug screen may be required.
• ITAR eligibility required (US Citizen or US Permanent Resident status).
