You will be responsible for more complex tasks and play a key role in ensuring project success. ***If Aircraft Certification Engineer, use this language*** Do you love bringing ""out-there"" ideas to life? We are innovators on a mission to unite, explore and inspire. As an Aircraft Certification Engineer II you'll be exposed to a broad range of aircraft modifications. You'll help create successful program execution by coordinating with various aircraft regulators to ensure that the aircraft design is compliant to an appropriate set of regulations. This includes the FAA and various US and Foreign military organizations. In this role you will solve an extremely diverse set of problems related to aircraft design and operation. This is a high visibility role that involves interfacing with most of the other roles in the organization and taking a broad perspective of the entire air system. Responsibilities: - Design and develop aerospace components and systems with minimal supervision. - Conduct detailed analysis and testing to ensure product performance and safety. - Collaborate with cross-functional teams to solve technical challenges. - Generate and review technical documentation and reports. - Participate in and lead design reviews. - Ensure project milestones are met on time and within budget. - Stay updated with industry trends and technological advancements. ***If Aircraft Certification Engineer, use this language*** - Write certification planning documents. - Coordinate with program management, engineering, and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs). - Write compliance documentation. - Identify certification problems and propose solutions. Qualifications You Must Have: - Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering or related field. - 2+ years of relevant experience. - Higher level relevant degree may substitute for experience. - Basic knowledge of engineering principles and practices. - Familiarity with Computer Aided Engineering tools such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. - Experience working in multi-disciplinary design and development teams. ***If Aircraft Certification Engineer, add these bullets*** - Basic awareness of the certification planning process (i.e. developing certification plans, the establishment of certification basis, proposing Methods of Compliance, proposing compliance artifacts). - Background in the Aerospace and/or Defense Industry. Qualifications We Prefer: - Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering. - Experience with advanced simulation tools and software. - Exposure to Engineering Simulation such Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Thermal Analysis using tools such as StarCCM+. - Understanding of aircraft external loads, aircraft performance. - Familiarity with wind tunnel and aircraft flight test. - Background in the Aerospace and Defense Industry. - Understanding of system-level static and dynamic modeling and simulation. - Exposure to aircraft stability principles and control system design and analysis. - Knowledge of industry standard aerospace principles, to include, but not limited to parametric design, model-based definition, fundamentals of flight mechanics. - Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work effectively in a team environment. ***If Aircraft Certification Engineer, use this language*** - Background in Project Management. - Comfortable reviewing information from various engineering disciplines outside of your specialty. - Prior experience with FAA Certification Standards (14 CFR Part 23, 25, 27, 29) and/or Military certification (MIL-HDBK-516) programs. - Experience coordinating certification approvals with the FAA Aircraft Certification Office, ODA's, Delegated Engineering Representatives (DER's)/Unit Members or other certifying authorities. - Experience with reading, reviewing and interpreting technical documentation for accuracy and compliance with applicable regulations. - Familiarity with aircraft flight test. Essential Functions: - Ability to work at a computer for extended periods. - Ability to travel up to 10%. - Work in an office or hybrid environment. ***If Aircraft Certification Engineer, add this bullet*** - May require lifting up to 25 lbs occasionally.
