Technical Expert, Engineering - Structures Design Integrator

As a Technical Expert, Engineering - Structures Design Integrator, you will act as a technical authority, shape design strategy, and lead enterprise-level technical alignment and capability development. 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

• Serve as a discipline technical authority for the most complex or high-impact integration matters.
• Shape architecture and design strategy, resolve cross-program technical risks, and provide authoritative recommendations to leadership.
• Develop organizational capability through governance, standards, mentoring, knowledge transfer, and external technical alignment.
