Structural Design Engineer

The Destinus engineering team is seeking a Structural Design Engineer to own the CAD design of aeronautical structures from concept through production support.

Working in Siemens NX, you will design flight structures as well as the test jigs, fixtures, and production equipment needed to build and qualify them.

You will work closely with Stress, Propulsion, and Avionics engineering, own design packages end to end, and contribute across the full development cycle – from early-stage R&D through detailed design, release, and production support.

What You’ll Do· CAD design of aeronautical structures in Siemens NX – detailed part modelling, 2D drafting, and assembly modelling· Design test jigs, fixtures, and production/support equipment for structural, functional, and qualification testing· Deliver engineering calculations, analysis, and supporting documentation to substantiate design decisions· Produce and maintain design documentation: drawings, specifications, bills of materials, and configuration records· Integrate structural, mechanical, and interface.

Requisitos
