The Design Engineer researches, analyzes, designs, and tests component parts, processes, or systems to develop new and/or improve core products. Develops and recommends solutions to engineering requirements for complex or specialized projects or systems, to ensure that design objectives are met, including program scope, cost and schedule constraints. Applies engineering principles based on assigned engineering domain (e.g. mechanical; electrical; chemical, etc.).

Works with engineering project or a cross‑functional team within the business unit; may have regular customer/supplier interaction.

• Develops detailed product specifications by analyzing performance and customer requirements. Investigates design factors such as function, materials, performance, interchangeability, cost, operational efficiency, and contractual requirements.
• Provide hands‑on design, integration, and qualification of aerospace fluid conveyance components.
• Performs feasibility and trade studies applying standard analytical methods; recommends solutions which are defined and reviewed for implementation.
• Design, analyze, troubleshoot, and test aerospace fittings.
• Interprets and validates test results for accuracy and precision. Ensures conformance to product qualification procedures and parameters to achieve customer and product reliability and safety standards. May utilize and interpret predictive models to simulate and verify design concepts.
• Provides technical information for review with product engineering teams using established engineering practices, standards, and documentation methods (e.g. structured design process; customer design reviews). Writes supporting documentation for procedures and technical reports; may assist in writing technical proposals for customers.
• Contributes to the completion milestones associated with specific projects (e.g. create functional diagrams and system layouts; review detailed drawings and schematics; define data structure, interfaces and programming logic; analyze material requirements; research customer data item requirements).
• Reviews product specifications to ensure clarity, completeness, form, fit, function, and conformity to standards and procedures. Identifies design errors, omissions, and other deficiencies, and recommends revisions, engineering change orders, and improvements to engineering management or the project team.
• Maintains current level of professional and technical knowledge by attending educational workshops, reviewing technical publications, and/or participating in professional associations.

• Bachelor degree (required) in an engineering or science technical discipline;
  Mechanical Engineering preferred.
• Ability to perform the essential functions of the job typically acquired through 2-3 years of related experience.
• Experience in manufacturing or product engineering with a preference for design of hydraulic and/or fuel fittings and/or composite components.
• An understanding for aerospace qualification requirements and development and design of hydraulic and/or fuel systems preferred.
• Has working knowledge of engineering domain principles and techniques, product functionality, industry practices, regulations, and policies. General knowledge of…
