Job Description

Mechanical engineering is crucial for designing, analyzing, and enhancing mechanical systems and components. In this role, your responsibilities will range from conceptualization and prototyping to implementation. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure that projects meet technical specifications, quality standards, and safety requirements. During the first year, you will be based in Germany, where you will document the design and development of a prototype aircraft.

What you will do:

1. Comfortable designing and prototyping systems for the manufacturing of aircraft, ensuring efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness.

2. Skilled in using CAD software to design, model, and analyze mechanical components and systems specific to aircraft development.

3. Develop detailed engineering drawings, specifications, and physical prototypes of aircraft components to ensure proper function and integration.

4. Perform stress analysis, thermal analysis, and other simulations to validate the structural integrity and performance of aircraft components under various conditions.

5. Identify engineering challenges related to mechanical components and systems within aircraft design and take proactive measures to resolve them.

6. Create prototypes of mechanical systems and components for aircraft to validate designs, conduct tests, and assess performance against specifications.

7. Analyze data from prototype testing to determine design effectiveness and implement necessary modifications to improve performance or address issues.

8. Evaluate and select appropriate materials for mechanical components based on performance requirements, weight considerations, and cost constraints.

9. Work closely with procurement teams to source materials and components for aircraft manufacturing, ensuring quality and availability.

10. Develop and implement quality control processes for aircraft components to ensure all manufactured parts meet design specifications and safety standards.

11. Collaborate with quality assurance teams to investigate and resolve any product defects or deviations from design specifications in the aircraft manufacturing process.

12. Prepare and maintain comprehensive documentation, including engineering drawings, bills of materials, and technical reports for aircraft components and systems.

13. Ensure that all designs, prototypes, and manufactured components comply with relevant industry standards, regulations, and safety requirements for aircraft.

14. Provide input on project cost estimation, considering the materials, labor, and manufacturing processes. Identify opportunities for cost savings while maintaining high quality and performance standards.

15. Identify opportunities to improve aircraft design, manufacturing processes, and product performance. Stay informed about emerging technologies and trends in the aerospace industry.

16. Work closely with electrical, software, and other engineering disciplines to ensure seamless integration of mechanical systems within the aircraft.

17. Collaborate with manufacturing teams to ensure smooth production processes, addressing any mechanical design issues that arise during the production of aircraft components.

18. Additional duties may be assigned as necessary.
