Employment Type: Full-time
Salary Range: C $165,000 – C $210,000

A senior-level Design & Aerostructures Engineer is sought to lead mechanical and structural development for cutting-edge eVTOL aircraft.

This role involves hands-on development of mechanical systems, structures, and components, from concept to certified production, with significant opportunities to grow expertise across adjacent disciplines.

• Architect, design, and implement platform-level mechanical systems from aircraft to component level

• Design structural and mechanical components for critical systems, including fuselage, propulsion mounts, landing gear, and system housings

• Select and specify materials (e.g., advanced composites, aluminum alloys, titanium, high-performance polymers) based on strength, weight, thermal, and durability requirements

• Support product development from concept through detailed design, prototyping, testing, and release to production

• Optimize structures for strength, stiffness, fatigue, and thermal performance

• Interface with suppliers to validate material choices, manufacturing methods, and fabrication constraints

• Participate in failure investigations and root cause analyses to resolve mechanical or material issues

• Be an integral part of the team, projecting positive behaviours and influence onto the team

• Apply aerospace standards and specifications appropriate to the discipline

• Challenge the status quo, introducing new ideas to improve engineering quality, productivity, and delivery timelines

• Enforce standards and ensure rigor, resilience, and continuous improvement in design solutions

• Act as a project integrator and interface between project management and other engineering teams

• Stay current with industry developments and implement best practices in your work

• Drive continuous improvement of processes to increase safety and efficiency

• 5+ years of experience in aerospace structural systems, ideally with composite and stress disciplines

• Experience with full lifecycle development, from concept to production and certification

• Familiarity with eVTOL certification regulations (TCCA, FAA, EASA)

• Strong problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills

• Hands-on experience in mechanical and structural design, material selection, and component testing

• Competitive salary based on experience

• No fixed holiday cap

• Group benefits plan

• Company share scheme

• Flexible working options

• Opportunity to work on groundbreaking aerospace projects in a collaborative, innovative environment
