Aerostructures Stress Engineering Lead

As an Aerospace Stress Engineer, your role will involve performing detailed static analysis on aerostructures, such as wings, fuselage, landing gear, floor beams, doors, and other aircraft components using classical hand calculations. You will also utilize Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software like HYPERMESH, NASTRAN, and PATRAN to model and analyze structural performance under various loading conditions. Ensuring compliance with aerospace industry standards, including FAA, EASA, and military regulations, and participating in design reviews will be crucial aspects of your responsibilities. Key Responsibilities: - Experience with Airbus and Boeing aircraft structures is an added advantage. - Developing and validating analytical methods using Excel and Macros techniques to predict the behavior of structural components. - Working closely with design engineers to provide input on material selection, design changes, and manufacturing processes to optimize structural performance and minimize weight while ensuring safety. - Leading technical reports and documentation to communicate analysis results, design recommendations, and compliance to regulatory bodies and customers. Preparing certification standard reports with detailed explanations of procedures followed for analyzing a structure to support PDR and CDR, including all mitigations and summarizing Reserve factor in the report. - Mentoring and providing guidance to junior engineers and analysts. - Collaborating with cross-functional teams (materials, design, systems, etc.) to ensure integrated, efficient, and safe structural designs. - Identifying and addressing structural performance risks, providing solutions to improve the overall reliability and performance of aerostructures. - Participating in customer-facing discussions and presentations related to structural design and analysis. - Conducting optimization studies to enhance structural efficiency, reduce weight, and improve manufacturability of fuselage components. Exploring design alternatives to achieve optimal performance. Qualifications Required: - Bachelor's or Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field. - 10+ years of experience in stress analysis and design of aerostructures, preferably in the aerospace industry. - In-depth knowledge of structural analysis methods, including finite element modeling (FEM), classical hand calculations, and failure theories. - Proficiency in FEA tools such as NASTRAN, PATRAN, or similar software. - Strong understanding of aerospace materials, including composites, metals, and advanced alloys. - Familiarity with aircraft systems and the integration of structures with other aircraft systems. - Solid understanding of aerospace loads and regulatory standards and certifications (e.g., FAA, EASA). - Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously. - Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including technical report writing and presentations. - Ability to work in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary team environment.,
