We are seeking an Onsite Design Engineer to support joint development activities for primary and secondary flight control systems in the civil aerospace industry.

In this customer-facing role, you will work closely with Boeing and internal engineering teams to support the design, development, testing, and introduction of mechanical actuation products. You will serve as a technical design resource at the customer site, helping translate customer needs and engineering requirements into practical, manufacturable design solutions.

The ideal candidate has hands-on experience designing mechanical components and systems, preferably rotary and linear actuation products, and is comfortable working directly with customers and engineering teams. A strong working knowledge of Siemens NX and Boeing-preferred CAD/design practices is highly desirable.

• Provide onsite mechanical design and engineering support to Boeing engineering teams.
• Serve as a technical point of contact for design-related customer requests and discussions.
• Work directly with customer engineers to understand design requirements, constraints, and technical objectives.
• Translate customer needs and engineering requirements into practical design concepts and solutions.
• Communicate design decisions, technical issues, risks, and recommendations to internal engineering teams.
• Build effective working relationships with Boeing engineering and program teams.
• Identify information gaps and ask thoughtful questions to clarify requirements, assumptions, and design intent.
• Support technical decision-making by providing sound engineering analysis and design recommendations.

• Design and develop mechanical components and assemblies for flight control actuation systems.
• Support the design and development of rotary and linear actuators and associated mechanical components.
• Develop concepts and layouts through preliminary and detailed design.
• Create and modify 3D models, assemblies, layouts, and engineering drawings.
• Perform design trade studies and support evaluation of alternative design concepts.
• Apply sound mechanical engineering principles to develop robust and manufacturable aerospace designs.
• Support tolerance, fit, interface, and packaging evaluations.
• Participate in design reviews and incorporate customer and engineering feedback.
• Support products throughout the development lifecycle from concept through testing, qualification, production, and entry into service.
• Support design changes, problem resolution, and continuous product improvement.

• Use Siemens NX or equivalent 3D CAD tools to develop and maintain mechanical designs.
• Apply Boeing-preferred CAD practices, modeling standards, drawing practices, and engineering processes.
• Interpret and develop engineering drawings, layouts, schematics, and other technical documentation.
• Support configuration-controlled product definition and engineering documentation.
• Collaborate with engineering teams using PLM/PDM and other engineering systems.
