  • Defining mechanism degrees of freedom, latching states, and sensor interfaces;

  • Supporting sensor selection/integration for sensing commanded vehicle state;

  • Material selection and mechanism designs for durability, low weight, and simplicity;

  • Integration of the throttle and gear selection mechanisms with operator ergonomics.

  • Participate as a key player in the design-build-test process, including conceptual, preliminary and detailed design, requirements definition, design reviews, prototyping, and testing;

  • Provide CAD work in support of design activities, direct drafting and product definition staff in the application of manufacturing drawing best practices, and define appropriate GD&T;

  • Perform analyses, via hand calculations, kinematic simulations, and FEA, to validate designs;

  • Support and participate in testing activities – component, drive, and/or flight – as needed, including test plan creation, data analysis, and test report generation and documentation;

  • Support the Certification Director with compliance and certification activities including design, test, and analysis documentation, internal and external audits, and other activities as needed.

Highly Desired Qualifications


  • Hands-on experience installing automotive/aircraft throttle mechanisms, gear selectors, or propeller controls;

  • Proven ability to select appropriate bearing types/sizes, implement latches, and design linkages;

  • Familiarity integrating Hall Effect sensors, proximity, or contact switches to sense mechanism state (position);

  • Formal training and professional experience with Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T);

  • Background in designing with aerospace grade materials including fiber reinforced composites;

  • Exposure to ANSYS Workbench, FEMAP/NASTRAN, or any similar sophistication FEA software;

  • Familiarity with MSC Adams or similar sophistication rigid-body kinematics simulation software;

  • Exposure to low or medium volume production environments, particularly in automotive or aerospace industry;

  • Familiarity with 49 CFR 571 regulations;

  • Familiarity with ASTM F2245 regulations.
