Aerospace Design Engineer

Uses creativity and the discipline of engineering that applies principles of physics and material science specifically towards the design of a mechanical structure. The designer will design components and/or systems based on a set of requirements and constraints, and oversee the project from concept to production. Responsibilities Design mechanical / structural systems and products based on set given and derived requirements Perform related analysis (simple FEA) and classical hand calculations to optimize design of product Modify designs based on cost and manufacturing capabilities Work with structural analysis to verify capabilities of structure before fabrication Holds design reviews and presentations among peers to gain design feedback Define verification methods such as component, system-level and airplane level testing, and participate in that testing Assures system and product quality by confirming fabrication, assembly, and installation processes Prepares product reports by collecting, analyzing, and summarizing information Provides engineering information by answering questions and requests Prepares manufacturing drawings to ASME Y14.5 standards using GD&T for manufacturability and repeatability Troubleshoot manufacturing and assembly issues Record notes, design changes, and test results on ENBs Multi-task, be a self starter, work under pressure and meet deadlines consistently Creation and maintenance of a Bill of Materials for one or more projects. Ongoing design reviews/brainstorming sessions with engineers/designers working on projects under your control. Requirements Minimum 3 years mechanical design experience ASME Y14.5 standards Experience in airplane structural design principles and in coordinating across multiple disciplines to develop design (e.g., Materials, Structures, Aerodynamics) to ensure compliance with all requirements CAD experience required (knowledge of NX preferred) Intermediate to advanced knowledge of Solidworks a plus Experience with the design of aircraft landing gear systems and hydraulic actuators a plus U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident (Green Card) About M4 Engineering M4 Engineering is a dynamic, rapidly growing high-technology engineering company headquartered in Long Beach, CA, with a composite manufacturing facility - M4 Phoenix Technology Works (M4 PTW) - in Maricopa, AZ.
