Composites Design Engineering Specialist - Montreal | Structures

How you will contribute to revolutionizing electric aviation:

• Design and develop 3D models for composite structures using 3DExperience Composites Part Design (CPD).
• Select the optimal CPD methodology based on manufacturing constraints.
• Apply a strong understanding of composite materials and their properties to drive design choices.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with engineers and designers to meet project specifications and timelines.
• Work with internal and external fabricators to see parts through manufacturing.
• Follow Review and Change processes, and assist in process improvement.
• Implement design modifications to ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations.
• Review, validate, and approve designs for production release.
• Apply knowledge of composite manufacturing processes: Hand Lay-up, RTM, Pre-preg, Vacuum Bagging, Autoclave.
• Leverage hands-on experience in production or R&D environments as an asset.
• Interpret and apply GD&T principles accurately.
• Solve problems in complex technical environments with minimal supervision.
• Prepare vendor design packages—including drawings, PowerPoint presentations, and neutral format CAD files—to support the Supply Chain team.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent with a strong mechanical design focus) from an accredited university.
• 5+ years of composites design experience, preferably in the aerospace industry.
• Expertise in self-stiffened skins, frame construction, and sandwich skin/frame design (an asset).
