Position Overview

We are seeking a Model Based Engineer who will be responsible for authoring and maintaining the 3D digital definitions of composite satellite structures within CAD platforms — defining ply shapes, sequencing, drop-off profiles, and core materials. The role owns the model-based workflow end to end: simulating how fabrics conform to complex molds to catch manufacturing issues before parts are built, generating flat patterns and factory-floor outputs (laser projection, automated cutting, and AFP paths), producing ply books and cross-section documentation for repeatability, and integrating designs with PLM systems such as Siemens Teamcenter to manage engineering changes and maintain traceability across teams.

Key Responsibilities:
Authoring 3D composite definitions, defining ply shapes, ply sequence orders, drop-off profiles, and core materials inside CAD platforms
Simulating how fabrics conform to complex molds. They identify manufacturing issues—such as fiber deviation, wrinkling, or bridging—before any physical part is built




Generating flat patterns that account for material deformation. They export critical data directly to the factory floor, including laser projection files, automated cutting sequences, and automated fiber placement (AFP) paths
Creating accurate cross-sections, core samples, and automated "Ply Books" (layup documentation) to ensure repeatability and part quality for technicians
Integrating designs with systems (like Siemens Teamcenter) to manage engineering changes, maintain traceability, and ensure all teams access the latest digital definitions

Qualifications

Education:
Bachelor's degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering / Aerospace Engineering

Experience:
Minimum 5 years of hands-on experience in mechanical design and composite structures design
Robust technical skill in design of composite structure and design for manufacturability.
CAD program experience required (NX, Fibersim)
Demonstrated ability to
