A leading aerospace manufacturer is seeking an experiencedCATIA V5
Composite Design Engineer to support advanced aerospace, space, and unmanned aircraft programs. This is an excellent opportunity for a hands-on composite design professional with experience developing ply definitions, flat patterns, ply splices, and manufacturing-ready composite design deliverables for large aerospace structures. This role will support urgent program needs involving large graphite epoxy composite structures, aluminum honeycomb core construction, and autoclave-cured aerospace components. The ideal candidate will have direct experience working in CATIA V5 and supporting composite part design, composite ply definition, and manufacturing release activities. This is a highly technical, hands-on design role. The selected engineer will own assigned design scope, create composite layup and ply design outputs, and collaborate with engineering and manufacturing teams to ensure parts are producible, accurate, and ready for release. Key Responsibilities- Develop composite ply definitions, ply layouts, flat patterns, and ply splicing in
CATIA V5.
- Support design activities for large aerospace composite structures.
- Create vertex definitions, composite design deliverables, and manufacturing support outputs.
- Work with graphite epoxy laminates, honeycomb core structures, ply ramps, contour transitions, and autoclave-cured components.
- Review assigned parts with engineering and manufacturing teams prior to release.
- Support creation of Mylars, shop aids, and other production-support documentation as needed.
- Make independent design decisions related to ply layout, splicing strategy, and composite manufacturability.
- Collaborate with program management, design leadership, manufacturing, and engineering stakeholders.
- Support a fast-moving aerospace program with immediate design bandwidth needs. Required Qualifications
