Description

You will lead the development of major structural airframe assemblies from preliminary design through certification and manufacturing ramp-up. Apply your expertise in load paths, design best practices, and hand calculations to define robust structural configurations and demonstrate structural integrity through analysis and testing.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering or related field
  • 10+ years of experience in structural analysis of composite and metallic aerospace components
  • Experience with FEA, hand calculations, and certification of aerospace components
  • Ability to evaluate complex loading scenarios, construct free body diagrams, and apply mechanics of composite materials
  • Master's degree with 8+ years of experience considered alternatively

Responsibilities

  • Lead development of major structural airframe assemblies from preliminary design through certification and manufacturing ramp-up
  • Apply load paths, design best practices, and hand calcs to design robust structural configurations
  • Provide technical guidance on design concepts (risk vs. cost vs. performance)
  • Demonstrate structural integrity (static strength, stiffness, stability, fatigue, durability, damage tolerance) via hand calculations and FEA supported by test
  • Prepare stress analysis documentation and support design reviews, component tests, and MRB
