WHAT WE'RE DOING

At Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin Company, we are at the forefront of aerospace innovation, driving the development and deployment of cutting‑edge technology in the field of aviation.

We solve the great problems of our times with innovative technologies that define eras. While no one knows what's going to change the world next, our people are already working on it.

The Hydraulic & Mechanical Flight Controls Group is seeking a Mechanical Engineer to support the design, analysis, and manufacturing of aircraft flight control hardware.

As a key member of our Flight Controls team, you will:

• Develop & Maintain 3D Solid Models: Build and update models of pushrods, bell cranks, supports, cable systems, servos, hydraulic pumps, valves, filters, reservoirs, and associated plumbing using 3
  
  DEXPERIENCE (3DX) or CATIA V5 with LCA.
• Conduct Finite Element Stress Analyses: Perform ANSYS simulations on components and assemblies, applying geometric tolerancing and dimensioning to validate structural integrity.
• Support Manufacturing Installation: Assist manufacturing teams during component installation, troubleshooting fit and function issues on the shop floor.
• Generate Technical Documentation: Produce and maintain design documentation, status reports, and installation guides for internal design and cross‑functional teams.

Citizenship is required as most programs and projects assigned are ITAR restricted.
