Jehan Jayasekera

Mechanical Systems Design Engineer @Boeing

Work to ensure world-class Mechanical Systems by collaborating with other organizations such as Aerodynamics Performance,Stability & Control, Structures, Flight Deck Crew Operations, Pilots, Electrical Systems, Systems Stress, Customer Services & Airline Customers, Factory and Flight Line Operations, Supplier Management, Airplane Safety and many others. Perform new detail design, as well as participate in troubleshooting and resolution of in-service issues. Equipment include components such as linear actuators, servo valves, rotary actuators/gearboxes, cable system components, pilot controls (i.e. column, wheel, rudder pedals, switches, etc.), torque tubes, linkages, ballscrews, various sensor types, etc. Opportunities for mechanical engineering engagement in Flight Controls and Mechanical Systems include work in Primary Flight Controls (e.g. pilot controls, elevators, stabilizer, rudder, ailerons, and spoilers/speed-brakes), High Lift Systems (i.e. leading edge flaps or slats, and trailing edge flaps), Landing Gear Systems (e.g, Gear Actuation, Steering, and Braking), and Hydraulic Systems. Conducting various types of analysis, with the use of CAD/CAM systems such as CATIA, and math modeling with tools such as Simulink and EASY5. Participate in design reviews and engage in supplier coordination. Utilize project management tools to ensure project success and timeliness (e.g. scheduling, technical risk oversight, deliverables tracking). Define verification methods such as component, system-level and airplane level testing, and participate in that testing. Participate in activities related to certification of Boeing products with regulatory agencies.
