About The Position

MAG Aerospace is seeking a hands-on Mechanical / Structural Design Engineer to support aircraft modification and integration work at its Titusville facility, including special-mission and ISR aircraft platforms. The role focuses on independently developing mechanical and structural designs in Siemens NX, from conceptual 3D models through production-ready drawings and installation support. Thermal modeling and heat-management experience are valuable complementary capabilities; this is primarily a design position rather than a dedicated thermal or stress-analysis position. The position requires direct Siemens NX design ownership. Using NX Nastran only, performing FEA only, viewing models, or reviewing drawings without personally producing CAD models and drawings does not meet the central design requirement. The position is contingent on the candidate’s ability to meet physical and medical requirements as needed, including compliance with applicable federal, state, and local jurisdictional requirements. The projected annualized compensation range is $80,000 to $120,000 USD. Salary is determined by factors including location, education, skills, competencies, experience, contract-specific affordability, and organizational requirements. MAG Aerospace describes its Total Rewards package as including health, life, disability, financial, and retirement benefits, paid leave, professional development, and tuition assistance. Eligibility varies by hours worked; full-time and part-time employees regularly working at least 30 hours per week are eligible to participate in the Total Rewards programs, while employees below that threshold are eligible only for select offerings that do not include health benefits.

Requirements

Demonstrated hands-on Siemens NX CAD experience personally creating and modifying 3D models, assemblies, and detailed engineering drawings.
Strong mechanical or structural design experience, including brackets, mounts, sheet-metal or machined components, and integration hardware.
Ability to take a design from concept through detailed documentation and support for fabrication or installation.
Working knowledge of GD&T, tolerance analysis, and practical design-for-manufacture considerations.
Ability to work on-site in Titusville, Florida.
Ability to meet physical and medical requirements as needed by the position and comply with applicable federal, state, and local jurisdictional requirements.

Nice To Haves

Aerospace or aviation design experience, especially aircraft structural modifications and special-mission or ISR integration.
Approximately 5+ years of relevant aerospace or mechanical design experience; the posting identifies this as a target profile and says to confirm the minimum with the hiring manager.
Thermal modeling, simulation, or heat-management exposure using Siemens Simcenter, STAR-CCM+, or comparable tools.
Familiarity with Siemens Teamcenter or PLM, configuration control, and drawing release processes.
Knowledge of FAA aircraft modification or certification processes, including STC-related engineering.
Exposure to structural analysis or FEA and collaboration with analysis engineers.

Responsibilities

Develop conceptual and detailed 3D models, parts, and assemblies using Siemens NX CAD.
Design aircraft modification hardware, including brackets, mounts, supports, installation structures, and equipment integration assemblies.
Create and revise engineering drawings and associated design documentation, including dimensions, GD&T, tolerances, and bills of materials as applicable.
Evaluate packaging, fit, interfaces, manufacturability, and installation constraints for aircraft modification and integration.
Coordinate with engineering, fabrication, manufacturing, and aircraft integration teams to resolve design issues and support prototype-to-installation execution.
Support design changes, drawing release, and configuration-controlled documentation.
Consider thermal loads, equipment heat dissipation, and heat-management constraints in mechanical design, and coordinate with thermal or analysis specialists when required.
