At Heart Aerospace we develop the ES-30, a regional hybrid-electric airplane with a capacity of 30 passengers, an electric zero-emission range of 200 km and an extended hybrid range of 400 km. Heart is targeting type certification of the ES-30 by the end of the decade.

We are now looking for a Senior Design Engineer to join our Airframe & Interiors team in Gothenburg. Do you have experience with advanced composite concept design for aircraft structures and want to contribute to a more sustainable future?

Your mission

The Senior Design Engineer will play a critical role during the concept phase and in designing lightweight, high-performance aerospace components using cutting-edge tools and techniques.

Key responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Support multidisciplinary aircraft conceptual study activities to develop and refine surface geometries to meet aerodynamic, structural, and manufacturability requirements.
• Work closely with aerodynamics, structures, and manufacturing teams to ensure lofted surfaces align with overall design goals.
• The design and development of aircraft structures using advanced composite materials.
• Utilize Siemens NX and Fibersim to develop detailed 3D CAD models and manage complex ply layouts and lamination plan for composite components.
• Design components with a focus on automated manufacturing techniques, including robotics for Automated Fiber Placement (AFP), Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding (VARTM), and other advanced composite manufacturing methods.
• Lead design reviews and communicate with cross-functional teams including stress engineers, test engineers, and manufacturing engineers to refine designs based on feedback.
• Ensure designs meet relevant FAA, EASA, and internal certification standards.
• Develop and maintain design documentation, including CAD models, technical specifications, and manufacturing drawings.

You will report to the Head of Airframe & Interiors and your place of work will be at our main office located in Gothenburg, Sweden.

• Minimum 8 years of experience in composite aircraft structure design.
• Proficiency with advanced surface modeling, preferably using Siemens NX, is required.
• Experience in conceptual and preliminary design phases of aircraft is essential, with a background in aircraft electrification considered a bonus.
• Familiarity with FAA/EASA certification processes and requirements for composite structures.
• A start-up mindset and self-motivation are critical for success in this role.
• Expertise in Automated Fiber Placement (AFP), robotic layup, VARTM, and other advanced composite manufacturing techniques is a plus.
• Excellent verbal & written communication skills in English.
• Eagerness to work with others.
• Passion for aircraft and electrification of the aviation industry.

Education

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related fields.

We recommend you submit your application in English as soon as possible as selection and interviews are held continually.
