Aircraft Structural Design Engineer 2

Gulfstream • Savannah, GA

1d • Onsite

About The Position

The Aircraft Structural Design Engineer 2 performs engineering work related to investigating and solving technical problems associated with the research, design, development, service, and manufacture of Gulfstream aircraft. The role supports development and sustainment of aircraft structural definitions for new products and the existing fleet.

The engineer defines the form, fit, and function of airframe parts and assemblies, integrates systems, and selects suitable materials, processes, and finishes. The work includes creating and supporting 3D CAD models, engineering drawings, and manufacturing design definitions, and providing support as designs progress from digital definition through aircraft build. The engineer collaborates with engineering, manufacturing, program, supplier, and customer-support teams, and contributes to design reviews, supplier coordination, build support, and technical documentation.

The position handles engineering assignments of moderate scope and complexity under general supervision, using engineering judgment and established practices and procedures. The engineer plans and tracks work to meet schedules, seeks appropriate supervisory approvals, and contributes to project milestones. The role is onsite in Savannah, Georgia, on the first shift, with travel of up to 25%.
