Lead the design and development of seating solutions including seat structures, functional mechanisms, foam, and covers from concept through detailed engineering and production release. Ensure human factors requirements are met including defining the H-point and eye point, and evaluation of kinematics, reach envelopes, ergonomics, and usability. Design and optimize Energy Attenuation (EA) systems to meet the requirements of 14 CFR 27.562. Conduct numerical simulations to predict structural integrity, restraint geometry, and head strike (LS-DYNA, MADYMO). Conduct user evaluations of proposed seat designs. Create detail, assembly, and installation design definitions using CAD software. Oversee the development and manufacturing of prototype articles. Develop requirements, specifications, and processes including material selection. Identify, plan, and lead tests for components and assemblies in the laboratory, ground, and flight test environment as necessary to include test planning, conformity, instrumentation, test conduct, data analysis, and issue resolution. Validate that designs meet customer expectations, design objectives, and the requirements of 14 CFR Part 27. Interface with suppliers to identify solutions to design problems, establish requirements, and ensure requirements are satisfied. Report on project status, schedules, and risks. Develop processes and tools to improve the effectiveness, quality, and efficiency of the work.
QualificationsREQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Automotive Engineering or equivalent work experience. Direct experience designing seating including human factors consideration. Direct experience with computer aided design and modeling with a focus on design for manufacturing and the application of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (Solidworks or CATIA). Strong understanding of structures, loads, and mechanical systems. Must be a proven self-starter requiring minimal supervision, with strong problem-solving skills. Excellent academic record. Demonstrated strong and effective verbal, written, and interpersonal communication skills. Team-oriented, possess a positive attitude, and work well with others.
DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
Experience with seat design, fabrication, integration, development, and testing for aircraft applications. Deep understanding of aircraft certification requirements in 14 CFR Part 23/25/27/29. Direct experience with non-linear crash simulation (LS-DYNA) and multi-body simulation (MADYMO).

Robinson Helicopter Company was founded in 1973 by Frank Robinson, whose
vision was to produce the world’s highest quality, most reliable helicopters in the most efficient, cost effective way possible. Robinson introduced the two-place piston powered R22 in 1979. The affordable, personal-type design quickly made helicopter ownership accessible to a broader audience and changed the face of general aviation. Today, the company’s top sellers are its R44 and R66 helicopters, respectively. To date, Robinson Helicopter Company has produced more than 13,000 helicopters.
Robinson puts great emphasis on research and development, continually making
improvements and offering new technology. Among its latest introductions are a cargo hook for the R66 and an autopilot designed specifically for helicopters.
Robinson manufactures, assembles, inspects, and flight tests all of its helicopters at its Torrance, California factory. To ensure the highest quality and to maximize efficiency, the company manufactures a large percentage of parts in house and
employs a highly skilled workforce. Robinson also offers monthly pilot safety and maintenance courses at the factory that attract a global audience.
