Design Engineer

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and design detailed CAD models, assemblies, and engineering drawings for aerospace and defence components using advanced design software (e.g., CATIA, SolidWorks, NX, AutoCAD).
• Conduct feasibility studies and technical analysis (stress, thermal, fatigue, vibration) to ensure designs meet functional and safety requirements.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including R&D, manufacturing, quality, and procurement to ensure manufacturability and compliance with design intent.
• Participate in design reviews, audits, and validation processes to ensure adherence to customer specifications and industry standards (MIL-STD, AS9100, DO-178/DO-254 where applicable).
• Prepare technical documentation including BOMs, assembly instructions, design reports, and change requests.
• Apply design for manufacturability (DFM), design for assembly (DFA), and design for reliability principles in all development stages.
• Support prototype development, testing, and troubleshooting activities.
• Keep updated with latest industry trends, materials, processes, and standards in aerospace and defence design engineering.
• Work with suppliers and vendors for sourcing and validation of custom components and materials.
• Ensure all designs comply with regulatory, environmental, and safety requirements.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related discipline.
• Proven experience (3+ years preferred) in design engineering within aerospace, defence, or highly regulated industries.
• Proficient in 3D CAD software such as CATIA V5/V6, SolidWorks, Siemens NX, or equivalent.
• Strong understanding of aerospace materials, manufacturing processes (forging, casting, composites, additive manufacturing), and assembly techniques.
• Knowledge of industry standards such as AS9100, MIL-STD, NADCAP, and aerospace certification requirements.
• Experience with FEA tools (ANSYS, NASTRAN) and simulation software is a plus.
• Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to work in a team environment.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Ability to handle multiple projects with strict deadlines and dynamic priorities.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience with systems engineering and integration.
• Knowledge of software design standards DO-178C or hardware design standards DO-254 (for avionics-related roles).
• Familiarity with Project Management tools and practices.
• Exposure to Quality Management Systems (QMS) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software.
• Security clearance or willingness to obtain (if applicable).
