Summary:As a Mechanical Engineering Practitioner, you will design, analyze, and build structures, machines, devices, systems, and mechanical processes. A strategic aerospace engineering leader specializing in rotary wing platforms, with a strong track record in driving technical delivery, innovation, and client satisfaction. Experienced in shaping engineering processes, delivery governance, and team capability development. Proven ability to influence design and compliance strategies through direct engagement with OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers, and regulatory bodies. Passionate about digital transformation, with a focus on advancing MBSE, MBD, and digital continuity across the product lifecycle.
Roles & Responsibilities:Join a mid-level leadership role within the Aerostructure Engineering team, supporting both strategy and technical execution across the full engineering lifecyclefrom concept through production, certification, and sustainment. Play a pivotal role in leading engineering delivery, technical governance, and client interactions for high-impact aerospace programs spanning rotary- and fixed-wing platforms. Opportunity to drive digital engineering initiatives including MBD, MBSE, and digital twin integration within legacy and next-gen design environments. Lead fatigue and damage tolerance (F&DT) analysis for metallic/composite parts in primary and secondary rotary wing structures. Guide interpretation of static analysis to define fatigue-critical areas, calc points, load paths, design intent, and scatter factors per FAR/CS 25.571/29.571, MIL-STD-1530, etc. Prepare method registers, F&DT documents, tool alignment, certification checklists, test report templates, and SLAs per scope and client needs. Manage project scope, constraints, and alignments with client during project initiation. Apply standard F&DT methods and best practices, documenting limitations based on NDE/NDI, manufacturing constraints, and design criteria. Provide expertise in deriving fatigue and test load spectra and formalize via documented procedures. Offer technical oversight across concept design, structural layout, compliance checks, integration, certification, and test phases. Support fatigue test plan creation (full/component level), test result interpretation, and correlation; review team outputs. Act as Level II/III checker, approver, and signatory for F&DT analysis, plans, test orders, and reports. Lead root cause investigations, risk assessments, and resolution of stress/F&DT issues, non-conformances, and airworthiness gaps. Analyze complex design issues and recommend optimal engineering solutions aligned with program goals. Support delivery manager and act as the technical voice of the program, enable aligning customer expectations with engineering deliverables and strategic goals. Front face Accenture in all technical discussions and lead the discussion. Drive end-to-end scope definition, requirements management, and traceability across the engineering structural lifecycle related to F&DT justification. Ensure effective planning, milestone tracking, and schedule variance analysis to maintain alignment with program delivery goals and importantly internal deal construct parameters or solution baselines. Drive robust engineering change management by closely monitoring evolving inputs and requirement changes. Assess and manage the impact of delays on schedule variance, resource allocation, cost, and milestone delivery through a structured change control process aligned with client approvals and governance protocols. Ensure engineering activities meet cost, schedule, target weight and performance objectives while maintaining traceability and regulatory compliance. Collaborate and lead cross-functionally with design/analysis team, manufacturing, quality, and systems teams; actively engage in design reviews, issue resolution, and integration discussions. Act as the technical interface with the client, ensuring alignment of F&DT compliance objectives and deliverables. Professional & Technical Skills:
Expertise in design, development, and integration of metallic and composite helicopter/aircraft structures (primary and secondary) from F&DT perspective. Experience with static and F&DT analysis for sizing large fixed or rotary wing aircraft. Skilled in weight and load path optimization, fatigue, and damage tolerance for certification and testing. Strong knowledge of airworthiness regulations (CS-27/29, FAR 23/25), OEM standards, and FAA/EASA certification. Experienced in test plan preparation, test orders, load derivation, and test-to-analysis correlation for component and full-scale tests. Familiar with certification testing, life extension, and fatigue-resistant structure design. Knowledge of GD&T and drawing standards is a plus. Proficient in FEA and F&DT tools is essential with experience in NASGRO / FRANC 3D / MSC FATIGUE, MSC NASTRAN/PATRAN, HyperMesh/Optistruct. or similar tools is a strong plus. Can guide the team for automation using Excel MACROS & VBA / Python and Catia V5 is a plusDeep understanding of aircraft materials, fatigue, fracture mechanics, fatigue spectrum derivation, and probabilistic crack growth assessment. Familiar with FEA considerations and meshing for F&DT analysis. Experience from concept through design validation, manufacturability, certification, and F&DT test correlation, preferably for rotary wing aircraft. Strong knowledge of helicopter/aircraft load-bearing structures, focusing on integrity, stiffness, and load path optimization under static and fatigue loads. Awareness of failure modes in metallic and composite airframe parts. Skilled in structural classification, F&DT compliance, calculation points, down-selection, and scatter factor selection. Proven expertise in low and high cycle fatigue analysis for fixed or rotary wing aircraft. Acoustics and noise separation knowledge is a plus. Competent in structural sizing to meet certification, test, and manufacturability requirements. Proven experience in static and F&DT sizing for design and integration of rotary-wing and/or fixed-wing aircraft structures across end-to-end design lifecycle phases.
