Stress Engineer

About the Role

Primary responsibilities involve performing structural analysis—static, fatigue, and damage tolerance—for primary and secondary aircraft structures using both hand calculations and FEM. The role requires independent interpretation of stress reports and certification documents, ensuring compliance with U.S. and international export‑control regulations, and effectively communicating and presenting findings to clients. • Perform structural analysis (static, fatigue, damage tolerance) for primary/secondary aircraft structures • Interpret stress reports and certification documents independently with minimal guidance • Ensure compliance with U.S. and international export control regulations

Key Responsibilities

• ▸structural analysis
• ▸static analysis
• ▸fatigue analysis
• ▸damage tolerance
• ▸stress reports
• ▸export compliance

What You Bring

Candidates should hold a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or Aeronautics and possess at least three years of relevant experience. Required expertise includes load path, load balance, free‑body diagram analysis, classical hand methods, and Finite Element Method (FEM) using MSC Nastran/PATRAN, as well as a solid understanding of static and fatigue analyses for metallic and composite aircraft structures. Preferred qualifications feature knowledge of nacelle systems for commercial aircraft programs such as the B787, A320neo, A220, and A350, along with strong hand‑calculation and finite‑element analysis skills. Certifications or training in Fatigue & Damage Tolerance, FEM/FEA, or Aerospace Structures are desirable, as are excellent problem‑solving, analytical, documentation, and communication abilities. • Bachelor’s/Master’s in Mechanical Engineering or Aeronautics with ≥3 years experience • Proficiency in load path, load balance, free‑body diagrams, and FEM using MSC Nastran/PATRAN • Experience with static and fatigue analysis of metallic and composite aircraft structures • Knowledge of commercial aircraft nacelle systems (e.g., B787, A320neo, A220, A350) • Skill in hand calculations, classical methods, and finite‑element analysis • Desired certifications in Fatigue & Damage Tolerance, FEM/FEA, or Aerospace Structures • Strong problem‑solving, analytical, technical documentation, and communication abilities • Familiarity with Python or Visual Basic is an advantage
