Overview
Our Advanced Development Programs team is seeking an experiencedAeronautical Engineer to support the design and integration of next-generation aerospace systems. This role will focus onairframe structural design, multidisciplinary integration, and design synthesis while working closely with engineering, manufacturing, quality, suppliers, and production teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and supportairframe design and structural integration across multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Perform design synthesis acrossaerodynamics, structures, propulsion, thermodynamics, electronics, controls, and actuation.
• Conduct multidisciplinarysystem trade studies to optimize performance, weight, cost, manufacturability, and overall system effectiveness.
• Design and analyzemetallic and composite airframe structures.
• Develop and maintain 3D engineering designs usingCATIA V5 and/or 3DX.
• Support fabrication, assembly, manufacturing, quality,MRB, and supply-chain activities.
• Coordinate with suppliers and production organizations to resolve technical and manufacturing issues.
• Support engineering reviews and communicate technical recommendations to internal and external stakeholders.
• Prepare technical presentations, engineering documentation, and other materials for customers and program leadership.
• Perform or supporthand stress analysis and structural assessments.
• ApplyGD&T principles to engineering designs and drawings.
• Mentor early-career engineers and provide technical guidance across multidisciplinary teams.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or higher in an engineering discipline.
• 10+ years of experience in airframe structural design and analysis.
• 10+ years of experience with metallic and/or composite aerospace structures.
• 10+ years of experience with CATIA V5 and/or 3DX.
• Demonstrated experience working on complex aerospace or aircraft development programs.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience withGD&T and engineering drawing standards.
• Experience working withLockheed Martin Business Areas (LM Client).
