Integration Engineer – Structures & Assembly

Responsibilities

• Provide design feedback for manufacturability, assembly, testing, and transport of complex flight structures.
• Establish and maintain build roadmaps for assigned assemblies, ensuring cross-functional alignment, on-time hardware delivery, and proactive issue resolution.
• Develop and release build CONOPS, work instructions, standard procedures, and process documentation that enable high-quality, high-speed execution.
• Support first-article and development builds in a fast-paced, early-stage environment; work hands-on with technicians to validate tooling, processes, and design intent.
• Drive design, process, and capital equipment trades to enable future builds and contribute to scalable manufacturing systems and infrastructure.
• Lead make-vs-buy assessments and collaborate with Engineering and Supply Chain to achieve optimal cost, schedule, and performance outcomes.
• Provide hands-on floor support during structural assembly, integration, and test activities.
• Champion continuous improvement across tooling, factory workflows (ERP/MES), and internal standards to increase build efficiency, repeatability, and quality.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• 3+ years of experience in aerospace or high-performance structural assembly, integration, or manufacturing.
• Deep understanding of aerospace assembly best practices and structural integration principles.
• Exposure to tolerance stack-up analysis, structural proof testing, drilling and fastening operations, and leak or pressurization checks.
• Proficient in CAD, GD&T, and first-principles engineering analysis.
• Strong communicator capable of interfacing across design, manufacturing, test, and supply chain functions.
• Prominent ability to operate autonomously and define new processes from the ground up in a fast-moving environment.
