Aero_Stress_Fatigue and Damage Tolerance Lead

Job Description

Perform fatigue and damage tolerance analysis of metallic and composite structures in accordance with regulatory and OEM standards (e.g., FAA, EASA). Utilize tools like NASGRO , DARWIN , or other proprietary applications for crack growth and fracture mechanics analysis. Conduct life prediction assessments under static and dynamic loading conditions, including variable amplitude loading. Support aircraft certification programs by providing substantiation reports and analysis documentation. Work closely with design, stress, materials, and manufacturing teams to define inspection intervals and structural integrity requirements. Interpret test data and validate analytical models against physical test results. Develop and review fatigue test plans and evaluate test outcomes. Document assumptions, methodologies, and results in clear, traceable technical reports. Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, or Structural Engineering. 7 to 15 years of experience in fatigue and damage tolerance analysis. Hands-on experience with at least one of the following tools: NASGRO , DARWIN , or equivalent. Experience on Stress Concentration evaluation fro Joints and Notches Solid understanding of fracture mechanics , crack growth behavior , and fatigue life prediction methodologies. Ability to use FE tools like HM and Patran for Extraction of Loads/stress for FDT analysi Familiarity with aerospace materials, especially metallic alloys used in aircraft structures. Experience working in a regulated environment with exposure to FAA/EASA certification processes . Strong analytical, problem-solving, and documentation skill Excellent communication skills and ability to work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team.
