Job Description:

Design Engineer (Structure & Mechanical) is responsible for delivering certifiable structure and mechanical designs across the project lifecycle, from initial concept, research, and CAD to aircraft modification and return to service. By developing technical proposals, executing engineering changes, managing regulatory compliance evidence, and collaborating with internal and external partners, this role ensures design interface with electrical and avionic integration domains to meet regulatory standards and agreed project milestones.

Main Responsible:

Coordinate with customers, internal departments, and external partners (suppliers, OEMs) to gather and define initial design requirements.
Develop technical proposals in response to customer requirements by conducting autonomous research and engineering studies to identify, evaluate, and define solutions for structure and mechanical retrofit.
Develop detailed design (engineering drawings, CAD models, and technical documentation) for aircraft modifications, repairs, and upgrades.
Ensure all designs and deliverables meet established performance, safety, manufacturability, and company engineering standards, resulting in minimal rework.
Execute Means of Compliance in accordance with the certification plan to demonstrate adherence to applicable certification requirements (e.g., CS-27, CS-29).
Coordinate with internal departments (stress, testing, configuration) and external partners (suppliers, OEMs, approved labs) to optimise design, conduct expert evaluations, and verify compliance data.
Produce justification reports, design analyses, and test documentation to support regulatory compliance and internal quality audits.
Maintain traceability of compliance evidence within the Design Assurance System.
On-Time Delivery (OTD): Deliver assigned design and compliance outputs in accordance with agreed project milestones.
Support production and maintenance teams with design-related queries.
Other duties reasonably determined from time to time by the Company.

Output & Deliverables

Certifiable Design Solutions: Delivery of compliant design change packages, including engineering drawings, CAD models, and technical documentation, that enable safe aircraft modification and operation.
Compliance Evidence: Production of compliance reports, design analyses, and test documentation to support certification and uphold the organization's regulatory obligations under its Design Organisation Approval (DOA).
Technical Integrity: Verified robustness, reliability and maintenability, achieved through standardized engineering practices and expert evaluations.
Project Execution: Full lifecycle delivery of project phases, encompassing design, certification processes, embodiment support, post installation conformity verification, functional validation, and return to service requirements.
Operational Efficiency: Coordinated outputs across internal departments and external service providers that align with certification plan milestones and project budgets.

This job requires an awareness of any potential compliance risks and a commitment to act with integrity, as the foundation for the Company's success, reputation and sustainable growth.
