Aerostructure Designer

Aerostructure Designer focuses on the design, integration, and modification of aircraft primary and secondary structures to support the conversion of green (baseline) aircraft into missionized configurations.

Requirements

• Design and develop structural modifications and installations for mission equipment, antennas, sensors, and payload systems.
• Create and update 3D models, assemblies, and detailed drawings using CATIA V5/V6, ensuring adherence to aerospace standards and best practices.
• Integrate mission systems or structural modifications into the aircraft primary structure while maintaining load paths, weight balance, and structural efficiency.
• Perform preliminary structural analyses and coordinate with stress and loads teams to validate design integrity.
• Develop conceptual and detailed design layouts for fuselage, wing, empennage, and internal structure modifications.
• Ensure all designs comply with airworthiness, certification, and customer-specific requirements.
• Collaborate with manufacturing, methods, and installation teams to ensure designs are producible, maintainable, and cost-effective.
• Support design reviews, configuration control, and engineering change management activities.
• Interface with suppliers and partners for the development and validation of mission-specific structural components.
• Provide on-site engineering support during aircraft modification and installation phases.
