Job Description What We're Doing The coolest jobs on this planet… or any other… are with Lockheed Martin! At Sikorsky in Stratford, CT, we design and build advanced rotary-wing aircraft that push the boundaries of technology, performance, and mission capability. Our engineering teams turn complex requirements into innovative, manufacturable solutions that support the future of aviation.

The Work As a Design Engineer, you’ll develop major components and portions of functional systems, advanced prototypes, and production products. You’ll transform concepts into detailed designs while balancing performance, manufacturability, cost, and schedule.

Your responsibilities may include:

Developing preliminary layouts, sketches, models, and design concepts to communicate proposed solutions.

Designing assemblies, mechanisms, structures, and detailed parts using engineering drawings and 3D modeling tools.

Evaluating design factors including manufacturability, material and equipment availability, interchangeability, replaceability, strength-to-weight efficiency, cost, and contractual requirements.

Coordinating with engineering, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and other organizations affected by design development.

Reviewing drawings and layouts for accuracy, completeness, clarity, standards, specifications, calculations, and dimensional requirements.

Identifying design errors, omissions, and deficiencies and recommending revisions or improvements.

Supporting manufacturing operations and helping resolve design-related production issues.

Who We Are You’ll join the Sikorsky team in Stratford, Connecticut, where engineers, designers, and manufacturing professionals collaborate on some of the world’s most advanced helicopters. Our environment combines hands-on engineering, digital design, advanced manufacturing, and mission-focused innovation.

Who You Are You’re a hands-on problem solver who enjoys taking designs from concept through production. You bring strong mechanical design fundamentals, attention to detail, and the ability to collaborate across disciplines.

Experience with 3D CAD, engineering drawings, GD&T, structural design, manufacturing processes, or aerospace products is highly valuable.

Why Join UsAt Sikorsky, your work can move from a digital model to a flight-ready aircraft. You’ll collaborate with experienced engineers, solve challenging technical problems, and contribute to products that support critical missions. If you’re ready to design what’s next in aviation, bring your skills to Stratford and build the future with us.
