Product Engineer - Design & 3D Metrology

JET PARTS ENGINEERING LLC • Seattle, WA

1d

About The Position

The individual will support the reverse engineering of aircraft parts through design work and 3D scanning to develop FAA-compliant PMA designs that go on to be manufactured, certified, and installed on commercial aircraft worldwide. Each project involves research into how a part functions in its aircraft or engine system, dimensional analysis using 3D scanning and inspection equipment, design decisions grounded in measured data, and production-ready drawings per ASME Y14.5. Beyond their own design work, this individual serves as the engineering team's go-to resource for 3D scanning, point cloud processing, and manual inspection. Work is project-based and primarily autonomous, with collaboration from senior engineers, certification, quality, procurement, and manufacturing throughout.

Requirements

• 2–5 years of 3D scanning and metrology experience
• Experience with 3D scanning hardware and point cloud processing (Geomagic, PolyWorks)
• Hands-on experience with manual measurement tools (vision system, micrometers, height gages, pin/ring gages, gage blocks)
• CAD/3D modeling design experience; proficiency with SolidWorks preferred
• Knowledge of mechanical drafting standards (ASME Y14.5); familiarity with GD&T preferred
• Detail oriented, organized, and able to self-manage across multiple concurrent projects

Nice To Haves

• Experience in quality assurance and conformity processes preferred
• Experience with aircraft components and systems preferred

Responsibilities

• Research and investigate part function, failure modes and effects, and operating conditions to establish design requirements
• Set up and operate 3D scanning equipment to capture full geometry point cloud data (Hexagon AS1)
• Process point cloud and mesh data using scan-to-CAD software (PolyWorks, Geomagic Design X)
• Develop 3D solid models and drawings using SolidWorks
• Perform dimensional inspection and support external materials analysis
• Evaluate dimensional and material data to drive design decisions based on measured results, manufacturing capabilities, and functional requirements
• Perform tolerance analysis and document engineering justification for design features
• Prepare and release production drawings in accordance with ASME Y14.5 standards
• Support other design engineers with measurement planning, scan requests, and interpretation of dimensional results

Benefits

• Salary position commensurate with experience and skills.
• Company provides paid sick and vacation leave accrued, health, dental, vision and insurance options including STD, LTD, 401(K) with matching contribution and immediate vesting, flexible working hours.
• Company is relatively young, and opportunities exists for an individual to grow with the company.
