Design Engineer II
About The Position
The Design Engineer II completes advanced design engineering work for aircraft seats and components, ensuring designs comply with FAA regulations and customer and OEM requirements. The role requires advanced knowledge of aircraft seating manufacturing and processes. It includes designing piece parts and assemblies in CATIA Versions 4 and 5, creating 3D models and 2D drawings, and participating effectively in customer meetings to advise customers on drawings. The position also supports design changes, sourcing and production documentation, supplier coordination, bills of material, material selection, and design change notifications. The engineer contributes manufacturing knowledge and design ideas in discussions with overseas engineers and program management, and creates presentations describing design direction or issues. Familiarity with CFR, EASA CS, and (E)TSO regulations and high-variant parts lists is a plus; knowledge of PLM-based database systems such as Teamcenter, Agile, or Enovia is required.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in a relevant engineering field, with 3–5 years of related experience and/or training, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
- A minimum of 3 years of experience with CATIA v5 or a similar system.
- Experience with Microsoft Office applications, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
- Knowledge of PLM-based database systems such as Teamcenter, Agile, or Enovia.
- Advanced knowledge and understanding of engineering concepts and aircraft seat manufacturing processes.
Nice To Haves
- Experience designing aircraft interiors.
- Knowledge of aircraft after-sales documentation systems, such as CMM and SB, and aircraft configuration control systems.
- Familiarity with CFR, EASA CS, and (E)TSO regulations.
- Familiarity with parts lists with high variant diversity.
Responsibilities
- Design aircraft seats and components using 2D/3D CAD systems, including CATIA v5, to meet customer expectations and applicable regulations.
- Detail-design complex sheet metal, machined, cast, or forged metal components, as well as injection-molded or vacuum-formed plastic components.
- Generate 2D drawings from 3D models using standard aerospace and in-house drafting practices.
- Respond to customer concerns by making seat and component design changes that meet customer expectations and applicable regulations.
- Participate in design meetings with project engineers to discuss engineering issues, design changes, and customer requests.
- Provide Purchasing and Production with documentation needed to support parts sourcing.
- Interface with outside suppliers during the design process.
- Participate in teleconferences with overseas engineers and program management, discussing manufacturing issues and suggesting seat development topics and innovations.
- Assist in creating bills of material for aircraft seat components and assemblies.
- Verify that materials are appropriate for their use on the seat, including Primary Load Path and Secondary Load Path applications.
- Assist in creating design change notification documents.
- Create presentations outlining design direction and/or design issues.
