We are looking for an experienced Aircraft Structural Engineer to join our aerospace engineering team. In this role, you will be responsible for the design, analysis, testing, and certification of structural components and systems for various types of aircraft. You will work closely with multidisciplinary teams including aerodynamics, propulsion, systems, and manufacturing to ensure that all structural elements meet safety, performance, and regulatory requirements.
As an Aircraft Structural Engineer, you will utilize advanced engineering tools and software to model and simulate structural behavior under various loading conditions. You will also be involved in material selection, stress analysis, fatigue and damage tolerance assessments, and the preparation of technical documentation for regulatory approval. Your work will directly contribute to the safety, efficiency, and innovation of modern aircraft.
The ideal candidate will have a strong background in aerospace or mechanical engineering, with a focus on structural analysis and design. Experience with finite element analysis (FEA) tools such as NASTRAN, ANSYS, or Abaqus is essential. Familiarity with industry standards such as FAR, EASA, or MIL-STD is highly desirable. You should be detail-oriented, capable of working independently and collaboratively, and possess excellent problem-solving skills.
This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a dynamic and innovative team that is shaping the future of aviation. Whether you are working on commercial airliners, military aircraft, or next-generation UAVs, your contributions will have a lasting impact on the aerospace industry.
