Job description

Introduction: 

Visium Resources has been asked to identify qualified candidates for this Airframe Design Engineer position. This position is a contract OR POTENTIAL direct hire opportunity, and will be on-site in Vero Beach, FL.
 
Position Summary:
 
As a member of the Product Development IPT, you will support the Airframe Design Lead Engineer in all aspects of airframe design. You will contribute to primary and secondary structural design for current and future aircraft, producing CAD models, detail and assembly drawings, and installation documentation. You may also support shop floor and experimental hangar activities related to airframe design for prototype and production articles.
 
This role is part of the Product Development IPT where we design the future of our product fleet. In the IPT, we've broken down silo walls to quickly and collaboratively assess and execute projects. We stay with our developments from inception through type certification, and we take ownership, creating the best possible products within our constraints.

The ideal candidate thrives in a collaborative, small-team environment where individual problem-solving, hands-on execution, and full project ownership are critical to success. Unlike larger organizations with narrowly segmented responsibilities, this role requires engineers to take a comprehensive, 'big picture' approach to their work. Candidates will be expected to engage across all phases of the design process, actively collaborating with team members and stakeholders to drive projects through to successful completion.
 
Essential Job Functions:
 
  • Produce conceptual layouts, manual installation, and assembly design and detail drawings using Siemens NX computer aided design (CAD)
  • Compose Engineering Orders (EO) to release new drawings, correct drafting/design errors, revise design, or incorporate changes/modifications to existing three dimensional models and drawings utilizing Siemens NX
  • Understand program requirements and create designs to fulfill the program requirements
  • Understand and prioritize design/drafting assignments and tasks to support published program schedules and timeline commitments
  • Coordinate design work with stress analysts, aerodynamics, manufacturing, supply management, and other team members
  • Review and validate installations and components through simulation, analysis, and on-aircraft installation fit-checks
  • Support production in the troubleshooting of assembly, installation, and operational problems
  • Participate in general IPT project meetings as required during the development of a specific project
  • Support the IPT in the preparation of material for presentation at design and program reviews
  • Perform other related duties as assigned


Education And Experience:
 
Required:
 
  • Bachelor of Science in Engineering; preferably Mechanical or Aerospace, with three (3) years of directly related experience, or equivalent
  • General knowledge of all phases of aircraft design, approval, manufacturing, and service; including familiarity with all manufacturing processes and techniques relative to fabrication and assembly
  • Proficiency in 3D CAD modeling and design practices
  • Familiarity with Microsoft Office suite
 
Preferred:
 
  • Proficiency in Siemens NX
  • General knowledge of engineering configuration management using Teamcenter
  • An understanding and working knowledge of Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 23 and associated guidance material as it pertains to this technical discipline
  • Knowledge of ANSI 14.5 or GD&T practices
 
Language Skills:
 
  • The employee must possess the ability to communicate effectively with all internal and external customers in both written and oral form
