Job Number 718206BR
Description:
You will be the Lead Composite Design Engineer - Solid Rocket Motor (SRM) for the Missiles & Fire Control Propulsion team in Orlando. Our team creates innovative composite motor cases and pressure vessel hardware that power next generation rockets and boosters, solving some of the aerospace industry's most demanding technical challenges.
What You Will Be Doing
As the Lead Composite Design Engineer you will own the mechanical design of composite SRM structures, from concept through test and production. You will work independently and within an Integrated Product Team (IPT) to develop 3 D models, conduct trade studies, write test plans and guide manufacturing to deliver high performance, flight qualified motor cases. Your responsibilities will include:
• Leading mechanical design activities for composite booster and tactical rocket motor cases, developing concepts, 3 D CAD models and detailed manufacturing documentation.
• Performing trade studies, defining component specifications and establishing design procedures to meet performance, weight and cost targets.
• Collaborating with analysts, manufacturing, project engineering, quality and customer support groups to ensure seamless integration of composite structures.
• Planning and executing design tasks with minimal supervision, reviewing work of engineers and operators supporting build and test activities.
• Writing test plans, fabrication procedures, overseeing test execution, analyzing data and updating designs based on test results.
• Traveling to partner labs and production facilities to participate in hardware processing, assess non conforming parts, support process planning and attend production meetings.
• Working with the supply chain to verify that materials, processes and components meet design requirements.
• Identifying risk reduction activities and defining environmental test requirements, including manufacturing pathfinders, sub scale and full scale qualification testing.
• Conducting research on emerging composite materials, manufacturing methods and industry advancements, and incorporating new technologies into designs.
• Maintaining configuration control and documentation in LM PLM tools, ensuring traceability throughout the product lifecycle.
