About The Position

Introduction: Visium Resources has been asked to identify qualified candidates for this Airframe Design Engineer position. This position is a contract OR POTENTIAL direct hire opportunity, and will be on-site in Vero Beach, FL. Position Summary: As a member of the Product Development IPT, you will support the Airframe Design Lead Engineer in all aspects of airframe design. You will contribute to primary and secondary structural design for current and future aircraft, producing CAD models, detail and assembly drawings, and installation documentation. You may also support shop floor and experimental hangar activities related to airframe design for prototype and production articles. This role is part of the Product Development IPT where we design the future of our product fleet. In the IPT, we've broken down silo walls to quickly and collaboratively assess and execute projects. We stay with our developments from inception through type certification, and we take ownership, creating the best possible products within our constraints. The ideal candidate thrives in a collaborative, small-team environment where individual problem-solving, hands-on execution, and full project ownership are critical to success. Unlike larger organizations with narrowly segmented responsibilities, this role requires engineers to take a comprehensive, 'big picture' approach to their work. Candidates will be expected to engage across all phases of the design process, actively collaborating with team members and stakeholders to drive projects through to successful completion.
