Lead Engineer, Design and Modeling

Beehive Industries is dedicated to Powering American Defense by revolutionizing the design, development, and delivery of jet propulsion systems to support the warfighter. Through the integration of additive manufacturing, the company aims to meet the growing and urgent needs for unmanned aerial defense by dramatically improving a jet engine’s speed to market, fuel efficiency, and cost.

Founded in 2020, the company is headquartered in Englewood, Colorado, with additional facilities in Knoxville, Tennessee, Loveland, Ohio, and Mount Vernon, Ohio. Beehive is committed to grow and advance the defense industrial base while manufacturing exclusively in the USA. This role can be located at our Loveland, Ohio or Englewood, Colorado facility.

Beehive Industries is looking for an energetic and driven Lead Engineer, Design and Modeling to focus on leading the design of engine components and various component rigs. This role will partner closely with systems, manufacturing & analysis teams on a daily basis to develop and deliver models and drawings for manufacture.

• Work with engineers to execute the design, analysis, and evaluation of turbo machinery components and assemblies using sound engineering principles while meeting industry standards and program requirements
• Create definitions of parts, modules, and assemblies in the form of 2D cross sections, 3D models, tolerancestackups, and electronic data formats to support analysis, manufacturing, and assembly. Provide quality checks toeliminateinterferences and to ensure interface requirements are met. Ensure drawings and models are managed consistent with industry standards for configuration management
• Perform “reverse engineering” by using scan data and creating new part models using parametric modeling
• Ensure product designs follow standards for Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing
• Support design reviews and collaborate with other disciplines in design, performance, controls, and system integration
• Providetimelycommunications on significant issues or developments
• Participate in the research and development of technologies and methodologies associated with additive design. Advise on ways to improve product design through the exploitation of additive manufacturing
• Role will initially be an individual contributor comfortable working in a dynamic self-directed start-up environment. As the organization grows, this role willbe responsible forscaling design capability to supportadditionalprojects which will likely include some future team leadership. Being able to grow leadership capabilities with the role will be critical
