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 actuating 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.
