Description

Description JOB DESCRIPTION The individual will support the reverse engineering of aircraft parts through design work and 3D scanning to develop FAA-compliant PMA designs that go on to be manufactured, certified, and installed on commercial aircraft worldwide. Each project involves research into how a part functions in its aircraft or engine system, dimensional analysis using 3D scanning and inspection equipment, design decisions grounded in measured data, and production-ready drawings per ASME Y14.5. Beyond their own design work, this individual serves as the engineering team's go-to resource for 3D scanning, point cloud processing, and manual inspection. Work is project-based and primarily autonomous, with collaboration from senior engineers, certification, quality, procurement, and manufacturing throughout. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES • Research and investigate part function, failure modes and effects, and operating conditions to establish design requirements • Set up and operate 3D scanning equipment to capture full geometry point cloud data (Hexagon AS1) • Process point cloud and mesh data using scan-to-CAD software (PolyWorks, Geomagic Design X) • Develop 3D solid models and drawings using SolidWorks • Perform dimensional inspection and support external materials analysis • Evaluate dimensional and material data to drive design decisions based on measured results, manufacturing capabilities, and functional requirements • Perform tolerance analysis and document engineering justification for design features • Prepare and release production drawings in accordance with ASME Y14.5 standards • Support other design engineers with measurement planning, scan requests, and interpretation of dimensional results QUALIFICATIONS • 2–5 years of 3D scanning and metrology experience • Experience with 3D scanning hardware and point cloud processing (Geomagic, PolyWorks) • Hands-on experience with manual measurement tools (vision system, micrometers, height gages, pin/ring gages, gage blocks) • Experience in quality assurance and conformity processes preferred • CAD/3D modeling design experience; proficiency with SolidWorks preferred • Knowledge of mechanical drafting standards (ASME Y14.5); familiarity with GD&T preferred • Detail oriented, organized, and able to self-manage across multiple concurrent projects • Experience with aircraft components and systems preferred EDUCATION • Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or similar engineering discipline COMPENSATION & BENEFITS · Salary position commensurate with experience and skills. · Company provides paid sick and vacation leave accrued, health, dental, vision and insurance options including STD, LTD, 401(K) with matching contribution and immediate vesting, flexible working hours. Company is relatively young, and opportunities exists for an individual to grow with the company. PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS · Work is performed in a standard office environment.
