Regardless of the position one holds, each team member brings their talent and desire to positively impact the environment and lives of others in a refreshing, vibrant, and inclusive culture.\nThe Mechanical Design Engineer will develop high-lift-device mechanisms and installations for an advanced narrowbody aircraft. The role will turn aerodynamic and system requirements into practical flap and slat hardware, kinematics, actuation interfaces, and configuration-controlled product definition. This position will be based onsite at our South Burlington, VT office location, our Raleigh, NC office. Remote candidates may be considered for a hybrid role, with monthly visits to South Burlington, VT for in person work.\nHow you will contribute to revolutionizing electric aviation:\nDevelop three-dimensional CAD, layouts, drawings, and interface definition for high-lift mechanisms, supports, tracks, hinges, linkages, actuation, sensors, and installation hardware\nBuild and evaluate kinematic and packaging models across the required operating envelope\nPerform preliminary calculations and trade studies for mechanism loads, geometry, bearings, fasteners, tolerances, stiffness, clearances, and mass\nDesign for assembly, rigging, inspection, maintenance, lubrication, wear, repair, manufacturing, and test access\nSupport tolerance analysis, drawing release, configuration control, supplier coordination, prototype build, fit checks, and functional testing\nWork with High-Lift Aerodynamics, Loads, Structures, Stress, Systems Integration, Flight Controls, Safety, Manufacturing, and Test\nDocument assumptions, interfaces, design decisions, open risks, and verification needs\nMinimum Qualifications:\nBachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field\nThree or more years of aerospace mechanical design, mechanism design, actuation, or aircraft installation experience\nProficiency with CATIA, 3DEXPERIENCE, or a comparable CAD and drawing environment\nWorking knowledge of kinematics, bearings, joints, fasteners, tolerances, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, and mechanical load paths\nExperience supporting hardware through design, build, fit check, and test\nMust be a US Person to be considered for the role\nAbove and Beyond Qualifications:\nAircraft flap, slat, control-surface, landing-gear, door, actuation, or other mechanism-design experience\nExperience with hydraulic or electromechanical actuation, rigging, wear, lubrication, maintainability, or jam-risk assessment\nExperience supporting prototype or flight-test aircraft in a fast-paced development environment\nPhysical Demands and Work Environment:\nThis role requires extended computer and CAD work and regular work around aircraft, mechanisms, laboratories, manufacturing areas, and test equipment. Occasional travel, hands-on hardware work, and use of a standard protecting equipment may be required.\nThe wage listed here reflects our best faith estimate for this role. We pay competitively and base compensation on a variety of factors including skills, experience, industry background, and the evolving needs of the role.
