Since 2012, our patented ultralight aircraft seats have been making planes lighter, reducing fuel consumption, and cutting CO₂ emissions. With over 10,000 seats already flying worldwide, we are the leader in ultralight seats for regional aviation and are now expanding into the medium-haul market.\nOur mission? Combine performance, comfort, and a positive environmental impact.\nJoin a passionate team where innovation, agility, and bold ideas drive every project-and help decarbonize tomorrow’s mobility .\nRole Overview\nThe purpose of the Mechanical Design Engineer is to generate class-leading design solutions for parts, systems and assemblies of our innovative & class-leading aircraft passenger seating. You will have responsibility for component, sub-system and whole seat work packages. Working within a cross-functional project team you will define and develop the engineering solutions for your assigned work packages from concept through certification and into production. In this high-impact role, you will need to consider all aspects of the design including safety, reliability, comfort, environmental, aesthetics, manufacture, assembly as well as maintenance and operation by our airline customers.\nKey Responsibilities\nDeliver high-quality engineering component and assembly designs, from concept to serial production, on time and to specification.\n\nGenerate and maintain 3D models, 2D engineering drawings and BOMs, in accordance with Expliseat standards, along with associated documentation management using CAD tools such as CATIA and SolidWorks.\n\nCollaborate cross-functionally with colleagues in Engineering, FEA, Certification, Purchasing, Quality, Production, and Program Management teams to ensure the successful delivery of development projects.\n\nOptimise your engineering design output to achieve the best balance of key success factors including safety, reliability, comfort, weight, cost, manufacture, and assembly, to ensure a competitive, lightweight, and easily manufacturable product. Propose technical solutions to reduce product weight and improve reliability, while contributing to reducing the environmental footprint.\n\nParticipate in functional analysis, FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis), and the selection of materials and manufacturing processes.\n\nElevate the passenger experience by maintaining exceptionally rigorous standards for premium Trim & Finish materials, textures, and perceived quality.\n\nProactively contribute to the continuous improvement of products and processes.\n\nKey Requirements - Essential\nDegree qualification in Mechanical Engineering, Product Design or a related field. Applicants with alternative educational backgrounds but significant relevant experience will also be considered.\n\nMinimum 2 years’ postgraduate experience in new product development and/or new product introduction.\n\nCompetence in industry-standard CAD software (such as SolidWorks, Catia), and the production of high-quality engineering drawings, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing.\n\nKnowledge and experience of a variety of materials (aluminium, composite, plastics, soft trim) and manufacturing processes (machining, extrusion, injection moulding, thermo-forming).\n\nAttention to detail - a strong eye for detail, and awareness of design for perceived quality.\n\nCurious, rigorous, autonomous, and comfortable working as part of a multidisciplinary team.\n\nFluent in technical English, both written and spoken.\n\nKey Requirements - Preferred\nAwareness of FAA/EASA airworthiness standards for cabin safety and interior equipment (e.g., FAR/CS 25.853, 25.562)\n\nExperience of design and development of mechanical systems for industrial applications, ideally in the aerospace, mobility, or mass-production sectors.\n\nFluency in both French and English is required.\nWhy Join Us\nContribute to a more environmentally responsible industry\nJoin a passionate and agile team, where every idea matters\nGrow within an innovative and fast-growing company\nAll our positions are open to people with disabilities.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4091,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"French","level":"All levels","optional":false},{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Space & Aerospace","Aerospace Manufacturing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-02T22:47:18Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":59,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.788,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":30,"expected_fill_days":41,"reasons":["conf:4","win:late","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-11-05T05:54:30Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/expliseat-mechanical-design-engineer-hf","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/expliseat-mechanical-design-engineer-hf.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-05T23:03:42Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4117,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-06T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":694228},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=694228"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fexpliseat-mechanical-design-engineer-hf"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fexpliseat-mechanical-design-engineer-hf"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fexpliseat-mechanical-design-engineer-hf"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/expliseat-mechanical-design-engineer-hf\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fexpliseat-mechanical-design-engineer-hf"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3645841}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"expliseat.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3645841},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
