Accountabilities

Design complex mechanical aircraft interior furnishings and structural components, including ceilings, sidewalls, flooring, floor structures, ceiling grids, monuments, and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) modifications.

Analyze and interpret project specifications, subsystem requirements, and customer expectations to develop appropriate engineering solutions.

Select and evaluate materials based on structural performance, technical specifications, and project objectives, considering composites, hardness, treatments, coatings, and other material properties.

Collaborate with material suppliers and testing teams to assess material suitability and support engineering decisions.

Work closely with Manufacturing Engineers to optimize designs for manufacturability and assembly, reducing part counts, production costs, assembly errors, and quality risks.

Apply knowledge of bills of materials, assembly concepts, fabrication specifications, and manufacturing processes throughout the design lifecycle.

Ensure all engineering designs comply with customer requirements, internal quality standards, applicable FAA regulations, and relevant industry standards.

Manage engineering deliverables in accordance with project budgets, technical requirements, and strict delivery schedules.

Provide technical guidance, design reviews, and constructive feedback to other engineering professionals.

Research and implement innovative solutions to complex technical challenges, maintaining up-to-date knowledge of mechanical design practices, materials, components, and CAD technologies.

Collaborate with Design teams to develop aesthetically appealing products that meet customer expectations and market requirements.

Provide liaison engineering support to facilitate communication and resolve technical issues across departments.

Support the preparation of test setups, engineering validation activities, and test report documentation.

Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives and maintain high standards of engineering accuracy, reliability, and quality.

Perform additional responsibilities as required to support project and departmental objectives.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Engineering, with at least 8 years of relevant professional experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.

Mandatory experience in the aviation industry, including hands-on experience with aircraft interiors.

Advanced proficiency in 3D and 2D Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools, preferably Autodesk Inventor for 3D design and AutoCAD for 2D drafting.

Strong knowledge of mechanical engineering design principles, industry-standard fasteners, materials, components, and the ability to identify and specify appropriate supplier parts.

Understanding of manufacturing methodologies, design for manufacturing and assembly (DFMA), production costing, and material selection.

Knowledge of engineering design, documentation, and drafting standards, including ANSI Y14.5 and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T).

Experience with mechanical motion modeling, weight and balance analysis, and engineering drawing reviews to verify fit, form, and function.

Broad technical knowledge across multiple aerospace disciplines, including:

Mechanical systems: Lower and upper attached structures, monuments, ceilings, sidewalls, flooring, placards, and OEM modifications.

Avionics: Equipment location, provisioning, and installation requirements for Line Replaceable Units (LRUs).

Ability to adapt to specialized engineering processes designed for prototype development rather than conventional production engineering.

Demonstrated ability to deliver technically accurate solutions while managing demanding schedules, budgets, and complex engineering requirements.

Strong analytical thinking, independent problem-solving skills, and the ability to develop creative solutions to challenging technical issues.

Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across engineering, design, manufacturing, and other functional teams.
