- Own a structural commodity driving its design strategy from concept through production release
- Select and champion the optimal CPD methodologies in line with manufacturing constraints and certification requirements
- Apply a deep understanding of composite materials and structural behavior to guide technical decisions and coach team members
- Coordinate cross-functionally with Stress, Manufacturing, Tooling, and Supply Chain to ensure robust and producible designs that meet cost, weight, and schedule targets
- Work directly with internal and external fabricators, providing technical guidance and resolving issues throughout the build process
- Review and approve design packages to ensure full compliance with company guidelines, industry standards, and certification requirements
- Contribute to process improvements, helping the organization mature design-release practices and configuration-management discipline
- Apply knowledge of composite manufacturing processes to ensure designs are production-ready
- Leverage experience in production and/or R&D environments to support practical, real-world solutions
- Provide technical leadership in problem-solving, removing roadblocks for the team, and keeping the package on track
- Prepare and oversee technical data packages to align suppliers and external partners with program needs
Minimum Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent with a strong mechanical design focus).
- 10+ years of composite structures design experience in aerospace, including substantial exposure to commodity/package ownership
- Proven expertise in composite structural concepts such as self-stiffened skins, frame construction, and sandwich skin/frame design, plus hands-on manufacturing insight
- Proficiency in 3D CAD tools (3DExperience or CATIA/ENOVIA preferred)
- Demonstrated ability to lead and mentor design engineers, set priorities, and drive team execution toward program milestones
- Broad understanding of composites and hybrid composite/metallic structures, including related industry standards and certification requirements
- Strong leadership aptitude, organizational skills, and communication abilities; effective in engaging cross-functional partners and resolving conflicts
- Recognized as a self-starter and collaborative leader capable of solving technical challenges and delivering results under pressure
