Contract engineering role at Bombardier in St-Laurent, Québec: lead aircraft structural design work packages — developing 3D models, assemblies, and detail drawings for airframe areas, coordinating across stress, systems, and manufacturing disciplines, and supporting certification and in-service changes. Core tools: CATIA V5, ENOVIA, and PLM.
Professional 3, Engineering - Structures Design Integrator
As a Professional 3, Engineering - Structures Design Integrator, you will lead significant work packages, resolve complex integration issues, and coordinate multidisciplinary contributors. Your work will focus on aircraft structural design, from configuration and concept development through detailed definition, production support, certification support, and in-service changes.
What are your contributions to the team?
Structural Design & Definition
- Develop and review structural concepts, 3D models, assemblies, installation drawings, and detail drawings for assigned airframe areas.
- Define metallic and composite parts, joints, interfaces, fastener concepts, tolerances, and provisions in accordance with applicable design requirements.
- Apply sound design practices for load paths, producibility, assembly, inspection, maintainability, weight, and cost.
Technical Integration & Collaboration
- Coordinate structural definition with stress, materials and processes, systems installation, aerodynamics, interiors, manufacturing, quality, and other affected disciplines.
- Resolve geometric and physical-interface conflicts and support technical trade studies.
- Participate in design reviews and communicate design intent, assumptions, constraints, and open items.
Design Maturity, Compliance & Support
- Support substantiation and certification activities by providing complete and traceable design definition and technical rationale.
- Support production, supplier, and in-service investigations, including root-cause analysis and corrective design action.
- Manage design changes and maintain configuration and product-definition data in the applicable PLM environment.
Level-specific contribution
- Lead assigned work packages and coordinate interfaces, priorities, and deliverables across contributors.
- Develop and substantiate solutions for complex design and integration issues and make recommendations to project leadership.
- Review the work of peers, share lessons learned, and coach junior engineers in the discipline.
