We are looking for an Aircraft Structures Engineer to join our dynamic aerospace engineering team. As an Aircraft Structures Engineer, 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, manufacturing, and quality assurance, to ensure that all structural elements meet stringent safety, performance, and regulatory requirements. Your role will involve using advanced computer-aided design (CAD) and finite element analysis (FEA) tools to develop innovative solutions that optimize weight, strength, and durability. You will also be expected to participate in the development of new materials and manufacturing processes, as well as support the integration of structural systems into the overall aircraft design. In addition, you will prepare technical documentation, reports, and presentations for both internal and external stakeholders, and provide technical guidance to junior engineers. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in structural engineering, preferably within the aerospace industry, and possess excellent problem-solving, communication, and project management skills. A thorough understanding of industry standards, such as FAR, EASA, or MIL-STD, is highly desirable. This position offers the opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects that shape the future of aviation, with potential for career growth and professional development.
