At Aurora Flight Sciences, we design, build, and fly advanced aircraft and enabling technologies from concept to reality. We are searching for a talented and self-motivated Staff-Senior Design Engineer to help us create the future of flight. Responsibilities will include but not be limited to the following:

-Act as the first level of authority within the design team for technical approval and exercise latitude in determining technical objectives of programs.
-Work independently for extended periods of time and guide junior engineers.
-Own project execution and integration while leading teams of other engineers.
-Produce airframe structural configuration layouts and detail designs including preliminary sizing, joint layouts, interface boundary definitions of parts and assemblies employing metallic and composite materials.
-Create and maintain CAD models and drawings of installations, assembly and detail components that meet all requirements such as structural integrity, interface boundaries, weight and cost targets as directed by the project engineer.
-Periodically review and check the product structure and BOM's of the team to insure fit, form, function of the structural components is maintained.
-Conduct periodic design reviews as required to ensure designs meet the requirements.
-Coordinate and collaborate with members of stress, manufacturing, procurement, quality control and other departments as required to mature the design from conception to production.
-Create and maintain documentation that tracks team weekly progress status as it related to the Program budget and deadlines.
-Prepare PowerPoint presentations to support Program PDRs and CDRs. Provide technical support and mentorship to those less experience members of the team.
