Product Strategist | Aeromechanical Engineering

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Provide hands-on aircraft engineering support: support creation and review of CAD models, interpret drawings and scan data, and assess geometry, tolerances, materials, and design intent.
• Translate customer requirements, technical standards, and work instructions into clear engineering and software requirements, with outputs suited to the customer's design-review, analysis, and data-management processes.
• Own assigned technical work packages, including scope, schedule, risk, and quality. Coordinate with software and delivery leads, and pair with forward-deployed engineers to develop and validate useful tools and…
• Develop and qualify novel analytical methodologies, design tools, and engineering toolchains, establishing their technical basis, validation approach, assumptions, and limits of applicability.
• Build and defend the case for using these methods and tools with internal and external stakeholders, including chief engineering, quality, and airworthiness.
• Lead technical discussions with customer engineering and sustainment teams, engineering managers, primes, and program offices.
• Use customer feedback and delivery experience to shape product priorities and a technically credible path to follow-on work or renewal.
• Support broader aerospace product and go-to-market efforts through technical discovery, early concepts, demonstrations, and proposals that connect customer needs to feasible solutions.

Job requirements

• B.S. in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent engineering experience.
• 8+ years in aerospace mechanical design or structural engineering, including hands-on engineering responsibility on new-build or modification aircraft programs.
• Strong hands-on CAD skills and fluency across mechanical engineering toolchains, including PLM/PDM and finite-element modeling; the toolchain family matters more than any specific vendor's tools.
• Experience developing new analytical methods, design tools, or engineering approaches and carrying them through validation and formal acceptance for program use.
• Fluency in the aircraft development lifecycle, including requirements, design, and related reviews (e.g., SRR, SDR, PDR, CDR), and experience working across interrelated requirements, technical standards, and command…
• Demonstrated ability to scope technical work, make tradeoffs, and deliver to a schedule.
• Practical software fluency and ability to work effectively with software engineers; deep software-development expertise is not required.
• Eligibility to access export-controlled information.
