Responsibilities

Monument designs (galleys, lavatories, closets, dividers) using 3D CAD software from concept sketches to production ready drawings.
Create engineering packages for production teams to build from, minimizing rework and field issues.
Integrate cabin systems (water/waste, oxygen, lighting, electrical) into cohesive interior layouts.
Produce all necessary drawings, following industry standards like ASME Y14, to support certification processes.
Ensure designs meet FAA Part 25/EASA CS-25 requirements. Your work supports type certificate and STC approvals.
Collaborate with stress, certification, and systems engineers to resolve interface challenges before production.
Support installations onsite when needed. See your designs get built and fly.
Produce all necessary drawings, following industry standards like ASME Y14, to support certification processes
Your designs directly affect passenger experience on commercial and VIP aircraft. You'll work on real programs with firm delivery dates.
