Lead Design Engineer

Aviation will be electric

We believe that aviation will only be electric in the next decades, and we are fully committed to making this a reality, by building the first electric business aircraft using hydrogen propulsion to fly up to 800 NM, five times further than a battery-powered aircraft.

We deeply value caring for our team of Beyonders fostering a culture of trust and collaboration. We constantly aim to explore new horizons and continuously raise our standards, while maintaining a pragmatic mindset. Above all, we are all driven by one mission : Make possible, certifiable and profitable the first private aircraft designed for hydrogen-electric propulsion.

About the role

We are opening several positions in Beyond Aero Aircraft Integrated Product team, including design CAD engineers. You will be part of the Engineering team to develop the first hydrogen-electric aircraft from a clean sheet design. You will join an already well established discipline within the company to participate in full aircraft design engineering from Concept Phase up to Entry in Service. You will join a team targeting to close the Preliminary Design phase by end of the year to define aircraft main aerostructure parts.

Valuable member of the team your role will be : 

• Lead, Guide, support and check aerostructure design engineers activities
• Define and Integrate one aerostructure main package (could be Wing or Tail) in the aircraft to reach expected performance (lowest drag, lowest weight), keep safety and respect costs and schedules targets.
• Work closely with Aerodynamics and Stress department.
• Elaborate Design principle to define the part construction and integrate them in the A/C.
• At some point, manage the supplier.
• Due to AGILE way of working, you can also work on other parts on the aircraft.

The mission will be a success if you get all Design activities under your responsibility to a Preliminary Design Review validation by end 2025, to a Critical Design Review validation by the end of 2027.
