Aircraft design engineer vs propulsion engineer

Differences between aircraft design engineer and propulsion engineer duties and responsibilities

Aircraft design engineer example responsibilities.

• Manage the development of the next generation products base on existing refrigerants and CO2 system including prototyping and initial manufacturing run.
• Formulate conceptual design of aeronautical, aerospace products or systems to meet customer requirements and communicate feed back to design engineers.
• Develop and maintain work plans and BOM that support goals for cost, quality and delivery of prototype engine builds.
• Originate drawing and model product definition, BOMs, and product life cycle management (PLM) data.
• Design fuselage composite core details utilizing FIBERSIM.

Propulsion engineer example responsibilities.

• Manage Jenkins security by providing specific access to authorize developers/testers using project base matrix authorization strategy.
• Conduct FEA of design components.
• Derive equations that are input to MATLAB for results.
• Lead RF design/test engineer for structurally integrate AESA prototype.
• Support customer usage duty cycle group with calculation of suspension loads.
• Flight test and prepare paper works and document for aircraft engine flight certification with FAA.
