Airframe Design Engineer Stf - E4

Standard Job Description

WHAT WE’RE DOING

At Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin Company, we are advancing aerospace innovation and developing technologies that define the future of aviation. Our teams solve complex challenges while delivering advanced helicopter solutions for customers around the world.

THE WORK

The Airframe Design Engineering organization is seeking a motivated Airframe Design Engineer to support metallic and composite structure design. You will develop basic data, preliminary layouts, and detailed designs for new and revised parts, assemblies, and systems supporting helicopter fuselage primary and secondary structures. Working with multidisciplinary teams across Sikorsky Engineering and Technology, you will develop and present design proposals, create engineering layouts and drawings, and provide support throughout the product lifecycle. Designs will be developed using CATIA V5 and/or 3Dx/V6, with CATIA CPD used for composite design. Occasional travel may be required for supplier support, customer meetings, aircraft build activities, and testing.

Key responsibilities include:
• Developing 2D airframe layouts and cross-sectional designs
• Creating 3D solid models and surface designs for structural components
• Applying geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T)
• Developing engineering drawings and part specifications
• Designing composite laminates and manufacturing requirements
• Developing bonded assembly manufacturing requirements
• Collaborating across engineering disciplines to meet requirements and milestones

U.S. citizenship is required as most programs and projects are ITAR restricted.
