Insight Global
Insight Global is hiring for a high-speed aircraft manufacturer focused on rapid design, build, and test of high‑Mach and hypersonic aircraft for the national interest.
Integration Engineer We are seeking an
Integration Engineer
to take ownership of structural hardware from design release through build, test, and delivery — including airframe primary structure, wings, tail, control surfaces, and other critical load‑bearing assemblies.
Base pay range $105,000.00/yr - $170,000.00/yr
Responsibilities
Provide design feedback for manufacturability, assembly, testing, and transport of complex flight structures.
Establish and maintain build roadmaps for assigned assemblies, ensuring cross‑functional alignment, on‑time hardware delivery, and proactive issue resolution.
Develop and release build CONOPS, work instructions, standard procedures, and process documentation that enable high‑quality, high‑speed execution.
Support first‑article and development builds in a fast‑paced, early‑stage environment; work hands‑on with technicians to validate tooling, processes, and design intent.
Drive design, process, and capital equipment trades to enable future builds and contribute to scalable manufacturing systems and infrastructure.
Lead make‑vs‑buy assessments and collaborate with Engineering and Supply Chain to achieve optimal cost, schedule, and performance outcomes.
Provide hands‑on floor support during structural assembly, integration, and test activities.
Champion continuous improvement across tooling, factory workflows (ERP/MES), and internal standards to increase build efficiency, repeatability, and quality.
Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
3+ years of experience in aerospace or high‑performance structural assembly, integration, or manufacturing.
Deep understanding of aerospace assembly best practices and structural integration principles.
Exposure to tolerance stack‑up analysis, structural proof testing, drilling and fastening operations, and leak or pressurization checks.
Proficient in CAD, GD&T, and first‑principles engineering analysis.
Strong communicator capable of interfacing across design, manufacturing, test, and supply chain functions.
Proven ability to operate autonomously and define new processes from the ground up in a fast‑moving environment.
Preferred Skills & Experience
Experience supporting new product introduction or prototype development at an aerospace or defense company.
Hands‑on experience authoring and executing work instructions; capable of leading complex first‑time structural builds.
Familiarity with critical lift and rigging operations, structural proof and load testing, or hazardous operations.
Experience with metallic and composite structural assemblies, including welding, bonding, or bolting (TIG/MIG/laser preferred).
Background in Lean manufacturing, tooling development, or supplier management in support of rapid hardware development cycles.
Seniority level Associate
Employment type Full‑time
