The successful applicant will have the flexibility and experience to lead both types of practice in an aerospace environment. When leading this team, you will lead engineering staff who produce 3D models and 2D layout drawings of the product to meet both engineering and customer requirements. Your team will be responsible for creating solid models and detailed drawings of various military aircraft components and assemblies across many sub-system and/or jet engine mod centers. The team will also be performing tolerance studies, and making sure that the models and drawings accurately define a manufacturable product for military development programs.

Experience with industry specifications and in-depth knowledge of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) is important to ensure all drawings the team completes are accurate, fully dimensioned and in alignment with tolerance studies.

A relevant past, or educational experience in designing, developing, and analyzing complex assemblies in a 3D mechanical drafting environment is required. The candidate would benefit from strong understanding of mechanical principles and demonstrate proficiency in reading and interpreting models, assemblies, and piece part drawings. An in-depth comprehension of GD&T practices, along with the tolerance analysis of assemblies and piece parts is required.

• Lead a team that creates dimensioned detail drawings for high complexity jet engine and aircraft system components and assemblies

• Set and maintain training standards and adoption cadence

• Set the standards for how the team applies tolerance stack-up analysis results to ensure correct fit and alignment, and performance of complex assemblies

• Lead the team in how they check drawings for accuracy, correct GD&T, and compliance to the aerospace industry and customer drafting and manufacturing standards

• Support product definition reviews and coordinate work across many different sub-systems and modules for the aircraft system/jet engine

• Lead and execute the creation and maintenance of standard work for Product Design and Definition group, especially as MBD evolves

• Lead the team to effectively comprehend and implement oral and written inputs from several different customers

• Represent Quest Defense in customer interactions/meetings, ranging from customer executive meetings to execution level engineers

• Strict adherence to the design process is mandatory for successful realization of accurate models and drawings for our demanding customers. Attention to detail is critical to ensure a safe and reliable product definition is placed into service.

Qualifications/Experience Needed:

• A degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and minimum 8 years prior relevant experience

• In-depth knowledge of ASME Y14.5M 2018 GD&T standards

• Working knowledge of drafting and product life cycle (PLM) tools and general computer literacy

• U.S. citizenship is required due to the nature of the work and to be eligible for a security clearance

• Must possess or be capable of obtaining a US Department of Defense (DoD) security clearance. Candidate selected will be subject to a government security investigation/reinstatement and must meet eligibility requirements

Preferred Qualifications:
