Structural Integrity Specialist

Structural Analysis & Design Validation:

• Perform detailed stress analysis of structural components and assemblies using both hand calculations and advanced computational tools (e.g., Finite Element Analysis, or FEA).
• Ensure the design meets the required safety margins under different loading conditions (e.g., aerodynamic, thermal, mechanical, and operational loads).
• Conduct fatigue, damage tolerance, and ultimate strength analysis to determine material performance and life expectancy.
• Development of GFEM and DFEM for structural components

Compliance & Regulatory Adherence:

• Ensure designs comply with relevant aviation standards and regulations (e.g., FAA, EASA, MIL-STD, ARP-4754, etc.).
• Review certification requirements and provide necessary documentation for airworthiness approval.

Collaborative Design Development:

• Work closely with design engineers, manufacturing teams, and suppliers to integrate stress analysis findings into product development.
• Suggest design modifications to optimize performance and reduce weight, cost, or complexity while ensuring structural integrity.
• Assist in the review of material selection and manufacturing processes to align with structural performance requirements.

Documentation & Reporting:

• Prepare technical reports, analysis documents, and presentations to communicate findings to both internal and external stakeholders.
• Maintain up-to-date records of analysis methods, assumptions, and results.

Continuous Improvement:

• Stay updated with the latest industry trends, tools, and techniques in stress analysis and aerospace structural engineering.
• Participate in root cause analysis and corrective actions for issues identified during testing or post-production.

Qualifications:

• Education:
• Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field. A Master's degree or higher is a plus.
• Experience:
• Minimum of 3-7 years of experience in stress analysis and structural design, preferably in the aerospace or aerostructures industry.
• Hands-on experience with FEA tools (e.g., NASTRAN, Hypermesh) and proficiency in structural analysis software.
• Familiarity with aerospace materials and their properties (composites, metals, alloys).
• Skills:
• Strong analytical skills, with the ability to interpret complex data and engineering drawings.
• Solid understanding of structural mechanics, vibration analysis, and thermal analysis.
• Knowledge of aerospace standards and certification processes.
• Proficient in the use of Microsoft Office Suite and engineering-related software.
• Excellent communication skills to explain complex engineering concepts to cross-functional teams
• Digital skills (like VBA, Python, etc) for post processing the results and loads data handling.

Desirable Attributes:

• Ability to work well in a team environment and collaborate with multiple stakeholders.
• Strong problem-solving skills with a practical approach to design challenges.
• Attention to detail and accuracy in calculations and reporting.
• Proactive attitude towards continuous improvement and learning.
