About The Position

The Senior Composite Designer will be responsible for the design, development, and drafting of composite parts and assemblies, working closely with engineering, manufacturing, methods, and quality teams. This role involves performing 3D modeling and 2D drawing creation for composite parts, components, and assemblies, and developing design solutions while considering manufacturing, assembly, maintenance, and aerospace certification requirements. The designer will also prepare definition drawings, technical documentation, and manufacturing data required for production, and contribute to the definition of laminates, thicknesses, ply orientations, inserts, reinforcements, and assembly interfaces in collaboration with composite engineers. They will implement required design changes following analyses, testing, non-conformities, or production feedback, and ensure that design solutions comply with applicable aerospace industry standards, specifications, and requirements. The position requires close collaboration with stress, materials/composites, methods, manufacturing, and quality teams, participation in design reviews, and investigation of production-related issues to recommend design improvements. The role also includes maintaining and updating technical data within configuration management systems and contributing to the continuous improvement of design standards and development processes.

Requirements

• Technical education in Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Design, or Aerospace Engineering.
• Minimum of 10 years of experience designing composite parts or structures, ideally within the aerospace industry.
• Excellent proficiency in CAD software, particularly CATIA or SOLIDWORKS.
• Strong understanding of composite materials and their behavior in the context of design.
• Ability to read and interpret drawings, technical specifications, and engineering requirements.
• Experience working in design environments subject to configuration management, traceability, and aerospace certification requirements.
• Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and rigor.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in mentoring, coaching, or providing technical support to junior designers is an asset.

Responsibilities

• Perform 3D modeling and 2D drawing creation for composite parts, components, and assemblies.
• Develop design solutions while considering manufacturing, assembly, maintenance, and aerospace certification requirements.
• Create, modify, and update CAD models based on customer requirements, engineering data, and technical specifications.
• Prepare definition drawings, technical documentation, and manufacturing data required for production.
• Contribute to the definition of laminates, thicknesses, ply orientations, inserts, reinforcements, and assembly interfaces, in collaboration with composite engineers.
• Implement required design changes following analyses, testing, non-conformities, or production feedback.
• Ensure that design solutions comply with applicable aerospace industry standards, specifications, and requirements.
• Work closely with stress, materials/composites, methods, manufacturing, and quality teams.
• Participate in design reviews and provide technical expertise on issues related to composite parts and structures.
• Investigate production-related issues and recommend design improvements aimed at optimizing manufacturability, quality, and costs.
• Maintain and update technical data and documentation within configuration management systems.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of design standards and development processes.
