Employment Type: Full-time
Salary Range: C$165,000 – C$210,000

About the Role

A senior-level Design & Aerostructures Engineer is sought to lead mechanical and structural development for cutting-edge eVTOL aircraft.

This role involves hands‑on development of mechanical systems, structures, and components, from concept to certified production, with significant opportunities to grow expertise across adjacent disciplines.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect, design, and implement platform‑level mechanical systems from aircraft to component level
• Design structural and mechanical components for critical systems, including fuselage, propulsion mounts, landing gear, and system housings
• Select and specify materials (e.g., advanced composites, aluminum alloys, titanium, high‑performance polymers) based on strength, weight, thermal, and durability requirements
• Support product development from concept through detailed design, prototyping, testing, and release to production
• Optimize structures for strength, stiffness, fatigue, and thermal performance
• Interface with suppliers to validate material choices, manufacturing methods, and fabrication constraints
• Participate in failure investigations and root cause analyses to resolve mechanical or material issues
• Be an integral part of the team, projecting positive behaviours and influence onto the team
• Apply aerospace standards and specifications appropriate to the discipline
• Challenge the status quo, introducing new ideas to improve engineering quality, productivity, and delivery timelines
• Enforce standards and ensure rigor, resilience, and continuous improvement in design solutions
• Act as a project integrator and interface between project management and other engineering teams
• Stay current with industry developments and implement best practices in your work
• Drive continuous improvement of processes to increase safety and efficiency

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in aerospace structural systems, ideally with composite and stress disciplines
• Experience with full lifecycle development, from concept to production and certification
• Familiarity with eVTOL certification regulations (TCCA, FAA, EASA)
• Strong problem‑solving, analytical, and communication skills
• Hands‑on experience in mechanical and structural design, material selection, and component testing

Benefits

• Competitive salary based on experience
• No fixed holiday cap
• Group benefits plan
• Company share scheme
• Flexible working options
• Opportunity to work on groundbreaking aerospace projects in a collaborative, innovative environment
