Mechanical Design Engineer - Aeronautics

YOUR ROLE

In this role you will play a key role in:

• Leading and coordinating a draughtsman in the production of detailed design drawings, ensuring that specifications are clearly defined and accurately translated into compliant technical documentation
• Coordinating closely with support disciplines including finite element analysis (FEA), CFD, and test engineers to ensure seamless integration of simulation and testing activities into the product development process
• Acting as the technical reference point for project managers on products under development, contributing to planning coordination and providing expert answers to technical questions throughout the project lifecycle
• Applying solid mechanical engineering knowledge to the design and specification of mechanical components including screws, springs, gears, shafts, and other fundamental mechanical elements, with a good understanding of basic structural mechanics and hydraulics
• Leveraging numerical calculation tools — in particular Python — to perform optimisations, parametric studies, and other numerical analyses, bringing a structured and rigorous approach to problem-solving
• Organising and structuring problem-solving approaches in a methodical way, collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams to identify root causes and deliver robust engineering solutions

YOUR PROFILE

• You hold an engineering degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline, and bring 3 to 5 years of experience in mechanical design and product development, ideally in a complex industrial environment
• You have strong mechanical engineering knowledge, including a good understanding of fundamental mechanical components (screws, springs, gears, shafts, etc.), basic structural mechanics, and basic hydraulics, combined with the ability to specify detailed design requirements clearly and accurately
• You are proficient in Python and comfortable with numerical calculation techniques including optimisations and parametric studies, enabling you to bring a data-driven and analytical approach to engineering challenges
• You demonstrate strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to organise and structure your approach in a methodical and rigorous way, and to collaborate effectively with FEA, CFD, and test engineering teams
• You are professionally proficient in both French and English (mandatory)
