Design Engineer – Aircraft Structures for eVTOL

Job Description

Industry: Aerospace
Job Type: Full Time
Summary:
We’re looking for a highly skilled and driven eVTOL Aircraft Design Engineer with 6 – 10 years of expertise to join
our engineering team. This role entails designing and developing electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL)

aircraft for primary and secondary structures, Wing, Empennage and Fuselage, with focus on integrating cutting-
edge technologies and achieving optimal performance. Aircraft testing-related expertise is an advantage for this

position.
Key Responsibilities:
• Design and build services for prototype eVTOL aircraft.
• Design of composite and metallic structure detail and assembly definitions.
• The design engineer along with a team of engineers must be capable of delivering design engineering,
including but not limited to creation and cross check of model‐based definitions within the 3D Experience
digital mock‐up (DMU).
• Must be able to co‐ordinate with the Systems Integration team members to ensure structure is
considerate of systems routing needs.
• The design engineer along with a team of engineers will report via a designated Lead through to the
relevant Design Lead for the Programme(s).
• Support technical and customer reviews, including formal gate reviews, including the creation and
preparation of technical data and presentations of product design.
• Perform Design activities and interact within the team and interface teams towards a common objective
for design maturity.
• Define design solutions for new components / assemblies and modifications to existing components
(Composites and metallic) according to cost, weight, quality, manufacturability, serviceability and
performance.
• To provide evidence of design compliance with Customer / Technical specifications.
• Prepare drawings and other engineering data required for the manufacturing of the product and data
submittal to the customer.
• Produce ECN as required to support manufacturing, customers, quality, and certification.
• Ensure own and teams’ quality of deliveries.
• Act as the technical interface with certification authorities to ensure compliance with airworthiness and
certification standards.
• Delivery will require physical attendance at customer facilities for key meetings and design reviews,
although an element of hybrid working between customer offices and Supplier offices is considered to be
acceptable, this will be driven by customer/project requirements.
Skills & Requirements:
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in aerospace engineering, Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
• 6 – 10 years of experience in aircraft design, having experience on eVTOL is an advantage.
• Design experience on Aero primary and secondary structures, Wing, Empennage and Fuselage.
• Hands on experience in design and analysis methods of CATIA V5 and 3D Experience.

• Composites Design 3 (CPD) workbench experience in CATIA V5 and Fibresim is mandatory.
• Product Lifecycle Management (Windchill)
• Experience with GD&T, (tolerance stack up)
• Good experience of aerospace Composite /Metallic materials and manufacturing processes.
• Knowledge of relevant aviation regulations and certification processes (e.g., FAA, EASA) is highly desirable.
• Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to analyze complex engineering problems and propose
effective solutions.
• Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, with ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced
environment.
• A passion for innovation, sustainable aviation and the future of eVTOL aircraft.
• Customer focused/Ability to establish credibility with internal and external customers.
• Able to work to meet tight, demanding deadlines and customer demands.
• Ability to work effectively within an integrated project team.
• Expertise in MS office tools and MS Project.
