Sr. Professional, Engineering - Structures Design Integrator

As a Sr. Professional, Engineering – Structures Design integrator, you will provide senior technical leadership for complex designs and major aircraft development or sustaining initiatives. Your work will focus on aircraft structural design, from configuration and concept development through detailed definition, production support, certification support, and in-service changes.

What are your contributions to the team?

Structural Design & Definition

• Develop and review structural concepts, 3D models, assemblies, installation drawings, and detail drawings for assigned airframe areas.
• Define metallic and composite parts, joints, interfaces, fastener concepts, tolerances, and provisions in accordance with applicable design requirements.
• Apply sound design practices for load paths, producibility, assembly, inspection, maintainability, weight, and cost.

Technical Integration & Collaboration

• Coordinate structural definition with stress, materials and processes, systems installation, aerodynamics, interiors, manufacturing, quality, and other affected disciplines.
• Resolve geometric and physical-interface conflicts and support technical trade studies.
• Participate in design reviews and communicate design intent, assumptions, constraints, and open items.

Design Maturity, Compliance & Support

• Support substantiation and certification activities by providing complete and traceable design definition and technical rationale.
• Support production, supplier, and in-service investigations, including root-cause analysis and corrective design action.
• Manage design changes and maintain configuration and product-definition data in the applicable PLM environment.

Level-specific contribution

• Lead complex, multi-zone or multi-system design activities and define coherent technical approaches.
• Review and approve significant technical solutions within delegated authority and lead difficult investigations.
• Mentor engineers, influence decisions without direct authority, and improve standards, methods, and digital practices.

How to thrive in this role?

Education & experience

• Bachelor degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical, or another relevant engineering discipline, as appropriate to the role.
• Typically 10-15 years of relevant aerospace engineering experience.

Technical knowledge

• Aircraft structural configuration and detailed design
• Metallic and composite design principles, joints, fasteners, tolerancing, and GD&T
• Engineering drawings, 3D definition, producibility, assembly, and inspection considerations
• Aerospace materials, processes, design standards, certification fundamentals, and configuration control

Tools & methods

• CATIA V5, ENOVIA, and MS Office; knowledge of NX and Teamcenter is an asset.
• Working knowledge of PLM, product definition, engineering change, and configuration management processes appropriate to the level.

Leadership & behavioural capabilities

• Clear and professional written and verbal communication.
• Collaborative approach with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Sound judgement, analytical problem-solving, organization, and accountability.
• Ability to coordinate priorities and provide constructive technical guidance.
• Demonstrated ability to influence technical decisions and mentor others.

Languages

• Fluent in English (mandatory).
• French is an asset.
