Aircraft Cockpit / Cabin CAD Integrator
Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India
Job Description
JOB DESCRIPTION
We are seeking an Interior CAD Integrator to own the digital integration of the e200X cabin and cockpit. You will take design intent - seats, stretcher systems, trim panels, doors and hatches, transparencies, stowage, and interior mechanisms and integrate it into the aircraft-level CAD environment, resolving packaging, clearances, structural interfaces, and system routing with engineering teams. This role sits at the heart of turning industrial design into a certifiable, manufacturable aircraft interior.
Key Responsibilities
• Build, manage, and integrate detailed 3D CAD models of cabin and cockpit interior assemblies - seating (including paramedic seat and stretcher provisions), trim panels, flooring, doors/hatches, and transparencies - within the master aircraft digital mock-up.
• Perform packaging studies, clearance and interference checks, ingress/egress assessments, and mechanism kinematics (doors, hatches, seat adjusters, stowage) in CAD.
• Define and manage interfaces between interior components and airframe structure, electrical harnesses, ECS, and other systems; maintain interface control documentation.
• Convert Class-A/industrial design surfaces into engineered, tooled-part geometry with appropriate attachment schemes, tolerances, and material thicknesses.
• Produce and maintain production-intent drawings, BOMs, and CAD data packages for suppliers and in-house fabrication, following configuration management and PLM discipline.
• Support ergonomics and human factors evaluations (e.g., DELMIA human modelling) with accurate, up-to-date interior geometry.
Requirements
• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical/Aeronautical Engineering or equivalent.
• 3 to 4 years of experience in interior/mechanical CAD integration in aerospace, automotive, or a comparable regulated industry.
• Strong proficiency in CATIA V5/3DEXPERIENCE (part design, generative shape design, assembly design, kinematics); experience working within a PLM environment.
• Solid grasp of mechanical design fundamentals: fastening and attachment strategies, tolerancing and GD&T, sheet metal, plastics, and composite part design.
• Experience with digital mock-up practices - clash detection, zoning, packaging, and interface management in large assemblies.
• Ability to read, create, and release engineering drawings to production standards.
• Strong cross-functional communication - you will work daily with industrial designers, structures, systems, and certification engineers.
Benefits
• Ownership of the digital interior of an Indian eVTOL aircraft heading into its real-aircraft build phase.
• A high-trust, multidisciplinary environment where design, engineering, and certification sit at one table.
• Deep exposure to eVTOL certification and integration challenges at the frontier of urban air mobility.
