Design Engineer II (MRB)
Airbus Commercial Aircraft is seeking a Design Engineer II (MRB) to join our Engineering department based in Wichita, Kansas. This position supports the production concessions of aircraft structure and is responsible for the creation of quality solutions in a timely manner from a design point of view. Duties include performing design efforts for both metallic and non-metallic parts while working in close collaboration with stress colleagues to provide solutions.
Methods include the use of multiple applications to research aircraft configurations and develop efficient solutions to satisfy airworthiness requirements. The role involves ensuring the safety, efficiency, and regulatory compliance while adhering to the terms of the concession.
Our Engineers have the privilege of working on complex, highly engineered machines and are involved at all stages of the aircraft life cycle, from product development to manufacturing and direct support to our airline customers. If you're interested in designing, creating, and testing the present and future of Airbus products across the globe, join our mission to connect the world.
Located on the Wichita State University (WSU) innovation campus is Airbus' first dedicated engineering facility outside of Europe. Our team of 200+ support staff and engineers focus on aerostructure design including analysis of aircraft primary structures, such as wings and fuselages, for all major Airbus products across the globe.
At Airbus, we support you to work, connect and collaborate more easily and accessibly. Wherever possible, we foster flexible working arrangements to stimulate innovative thinking.
