Job Description

Must Have Technical/Functional Skills

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, or Manufacturing Engineering.
  • 12-15+ years of aerospace product / design engineering experience, including reverse-engineering of legacy parts.
  • Expert in 3D CAD and 2D drafting (e.g., SOLIWORKS, ALTIUM, CATIA or Creo) with the proven ability to author and update detail and assembly drawings to GD&T.
  • Hands-on experience with EBOM/MBOM management inside a PLM / configuration-management system.
  • Demonstrated DFMEA, tolerance stack-up, and Key Characteristic definition on production hardware.
  • Working experience of aerospace qualification and part-release / signature workflows.
  • Strong stakeholder communication; able to interface directly with client focal points and lead technical reviews.
  • Tools & Software experience : 3D CAD & 2D drafting (SOLIDWORKS / ALTIUM / CATIA / Creo / NX /), GD&T, PLM / Configuration Manager for EBOM-MBOM, DFMEA & tolerance-analysis tools, 3D-scanning / reverse-engineering software.
  • Hands-on experience specifying and integrating 3D-scanning / reverse-engineering workflows.
  • Familiarity with UAV / unmanned-systems programs.
  • Exposure to AS9100 / aerospace quality systems and DFM-driven cost reduction.
  • Exposure to Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) a plus.

Roles & Responsibilities

  • Lead reverse-engineering and re-definition of the part, drives the EBOM-to-MBOM flow inside the customer Configuration Manager, and is responsible for presenting to the customer solutions for a design that is manufacturable, qualifiable, and released through the ENG/ME/QE signature loop. The role is hands-on: following customer approval of the solutions, the engineer personally creates and updates 3D models and 2D detail and assembly drawings.
  • Act as the engineering point of contact for the customer engineering focal point.
  • Lead data capture of the existing part through 2D drawings, 3D CAD, and 3D scanning; specify the scanner type and reconcile scan data against customer specifications.
  • Perform Design for Manufacturing (DFM): propose alternative designs and new-material opportunities and secure customer Engineering approval.
  • Create and update 3D models and 2D drawings - part detail and assembly - to production standard (mandatory drawing-update capability).
  • Create new part numbers and revise existing part numbers in collaboration with the designated customer employee, following configuration-management discipline.
  • Create and manage the Engineering Bill of Materials (EBOM) in the customer Configuration Manager.
  • Conduct Design FMEA (DFMEA) and tolerance stack-up analysis to validate fit, function, and robustness.
  • Identify and explicitly list all Key Characteristics (KCs) and Critical-to-Inspection items (CTIs).
  • Assess the qualification gap and propose updates to the qualification plan. Create / update the Qualification plan when proposed solutions are approved.
  • Create the Manufacturing Bill of Materials (MBOM) and manage the signature release loop across ENG, ME, and QE.
  • Provide technical direction to the Manufacturing Engineer
