Industries is seeking an Air Vehicle Design Engineer to develop the overall design of next-generation unmanned aircraft and missile systems from initial concept through detailed CAD definition.
In this role, you'll perform first-order vehicle sizing and configuration studies, translate mission requirements into viable vehicle concepts, and develop high-quality CAD models that mature those concepts into manufacturable hardware. You'll work closely with aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, manufacturing, and flight test throughout the design cycle.
This position is ideal for engineers who enjoy both conceptual aircraft design and detailed vehicle development.
Develop overall vehicle configurations from mission and system requirements.
Perform first-order sizing and layout studies to establish feasible vehicle architectures.
Create and maintain detailed CAD models, including vehicle outer mold line (OML), internal packaging, and major assemblies.
Evaluate design trades involving aerodynamic performance, weight, manufacturability, modularity, and subsystem integration.
Collaborate closely with aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, guidance, manufacturing, and flight-test teams throughout vehicle development.
Produce engineering drawings and support prototype fabrication.
Present technical recommendations and design trade studies to engineering leadership.

Требования

Entry Level: BS/MS in Aerospace, Mechanical Engineering, or similar with internship, research, Formula SAE, CubeSat, UAS, or aerospace design experience.
Senior: 5+ years of experience designing aircraft, missiles, or unmanned systems.
