## Responsibilities

- Serve as the technical lead for integration of major aircraft systems across multiple engineering disciplines.

- Establish subsystem installation architecture and interface strategies for mechanical, electrical, avionics, and fluid systems.

- Lead multidisciplinary packaging studies balancing aircraft performance, manufacturability, maintainability, reliability, and serviceability.

- Develop engineering standards for installation design, routing practices, CAD modeling, drawing quality, and configuration management.

- Lead complex engineering investigations involving aircraft integration, manufacturing, supplier issues, or field problems.

- Review and approve installation drawings, BOM structures, engineering changes, and configuration baselines.

- Guide prototype builds, manufacturing readiness, and production integration activities.

- Lead technical coordination with Systems Owners, Structures, Stress, Manufacturing and Supply Chain organizations.

- Mentor engineers across multiple programs while driving technical consistency throughout the organization.

- Manage technical scope, schedule, risks, and engineering execution for major aircraft development efforts.

## Required qualifications

- Bachelor's or master's degree in mechanical engineering or related discipline.

- 7+ years of experience developing and integrating aircraft or complex aerospace systems.

- Demonstrated ownership of major aircraft subsystem integration from concept through production.

- Advanced aircraft installation design experience, including packaging, mounting, maintainability, and interface definition.

- Advanced CAD and PLM expertise with CATIA, NX, Creo, Teamcenter, Windchill, 3DEXPERIENCE, or equivalent tools.

- Strong experience designing machined, fabricated, sheet metal, and installation hardware.

- Experience leading EWIS, hydraulic, ECS, fuel, pneumatic, or similar aircraft routing design.

- Expert-level drawing development and release experience for part, assembly, and installation drawings.

- Advanced GD&T and tolerance stack-up capability.

- Experience managing BOMs, product structures, engineering changes, and configuration baselines.

- Experience supporting manufacturing, build, installation, MRB, supplier, and production readiness activities.

- Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional technical teams.

## Preferred qualifications

- Experience leading integration on aircraft, autonomous aircraft, defense, eVTOL, or advanced aerospace programs.

- Experience performing structural analysis, hand calculations, load path assessments, or margin development.

- Experience with FEA for static, modal, vibration, fatigue, or thermal problems.

- Hands-on experience supporting build, production, testing, or hardware validation activities.

- Experience developing installation design standards, routing standards, or CAD/PLM best practices.

- Experience mentoring engineers and reviewing technical work across multiple disciplines.
