CAD Specialist, Airframe

What you'll do:

• Develop detailed 3D CAD models of composite aerostructures, including skins, spars, ribs, frames, and other associated components, using Siemens NX.
• Utilize Fibersim to define and optimize composite ply layups, fiber orientations, and material specifications for various aerostructure components.
• Generate comprehensive 3D engineering datasets, including geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), material callouts, and assembly instructions.
• Collaborate with stress engineers to incorporate structural analysis results into design iterations.
• Work closely with manufacturing engineers to ensure designs are optimized for composite manufacturing processes (e.g., automated fiber placement, hand layup, resin infusion).
• Perform design reviews and provide constructive feedback to peers.
• Manage and maintain CAD data within a Teamcenter PLM.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of design processes and best practices.

What you need:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 3+ years of experience in CAD design of composite aerostructures.
• Proficiency in Siemens NX is required.
• Demonstrated experience with Fibersim for composite ply definition and optimization is required.
• Understanding of composite materials, manufacturing processes, and their impact on design.
• Experience with GD&T principles and application.
• Ability to interpret and apply engineering specifications and standards.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.
• Experience with PLM systems (e.g., Teamcenter) is a plus.
• Familiarity with aerospace industry standards and regulations (e.g., FAA) is a plus.
