Mechanical Engineer II, Systems Integration (R5344)

As a Systems Integration Engineer, you will independently own the design, installation, and integration of aircraft systems and components while supporting the development of complete subsystem installations. You will collaborate across engineering disciplines to deliver manufacturable, maintainable, and reliable aircraft hardware.

The ideal candidate has demonstrated experience designing aircraft hardware and installation solutions and enjoys solving multidisciplinary integration challenges involving structures, avionics, propulsion, manufacturing, and production.

• Independently design machined, fabricated, composite, and sheet metal components for aircraft applications.
• Develop aircraft installation layouts that optimize packaging, accessibility, serviceability, manufacturability, and weight.
• Design routing paths for EWIS, hydraulic, fuel, pneumatic, and ECS systems while coordinating interfaces with adjacent aircraft structures and subsystems.
• Develop detailed engineering drawings, installation drawings, and assembly documentation in accordance with company drafting standards.
• Maintain CAD assemblies, product structures, BOMs, and engineering releases within PLM systems.
• Apply GD&T and tolerance stack-up analyses to ensure manufacturable and interchangeable designs.
• Support prototype aircraft builds, production integration, and manufacturing issue resolution.
• Investigate installation and integration issues through structured root cause analysis and implement corrective actions.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate avionics and other system components seamlessly within the aircraft
• Perform engineering calculations to support design decisions and evaluate structural adequacy.

• Experience integrating aircraft subsystems on unmanned aircrafts, fixed wing, eVTOL, or other aerospace platforms.
• Experience leading mechanical work packages or owning subsystem-level hardware from concept through production.
• Experience performing structural hand calculations, free-body diagrams, load path evaluations, or preliminary stress analyses to support mechanical design decisions.
• Experience performing finite element analysis (FEA), including static, modal, vibration, fatigue, or thermal analyses.
• Hands-on experience supporting build, production, testing, or hardware validation activities.
• Familiarity with aircraft configuration management, engineering change processes, and formal product release workflows.
• Experience coordinating engineering activities with suppliers, manufacturing partners, or external engineering organizations.
• Familiarity with FAA, DoD, MIL-STD, or commercial aerospace design standards.
• Experience mentoring interns or early-career engineers and reviewing engineering documentation for technical accuracy.
