The ideal candidate can operate independently, has experience resolving real-world build and test issues, and is excited to shape propulsion systems that will scale into production. What will you be doing? Own the mechanical design and integration of propulsion subsystems including motors, high-speed generators, inverters, engine-generator coupling, ducting, and cooling systems Drive resolution of hardware issues discovered during prototype builds and testing-tolerance stack-ups, fitment issues, and non-conforming parts Contribute to a new in-house motor design cycle from concept through detailed design, testing, and validation Perform DFM trade studies and work with suppliers on manufacturing feasibility, primarily involving machining and additive processes Collaborate cross-functionally with electrical, manufacturing, test, and flight teams to package and integrate propulsion components into the aircraft Tech Stack NX (preferred), SolidWorks, 3D CAD, FEA, GD&T, Teamcenter (PLM).
