Stress EngineerDescription
The Structural Analysis Engineer position is responsible for performing stress analysis of aircraft structure including primary and secondary structural components as well as systems installations. The candidate must have experience using industry standard stress analysis methods to analyze metallic and composite structures. The position is fast-paced, full of technical challenges and growth opportunities. Candidate must exhibit flexibility to work on multiple programs from experimental aircrafts to FAA Supplemental Type Certificates (STC).
Responsibilities:
- Review and understand customer specifications, technical documentation, and structural configurations.
- New program requirements review: impact assessment, methods of compliance.
- Perform design trade studies.
- Use aircraft Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (SRM, AMM, IPL) documents to extract information needed to perform stress analysis.
- Modify Instructions for Continued Airworthiness before reintegrating aircraft to service.
- Create coarse grid FEM’s to be used as loads models but also create Fine Grid FEM’s for stress analysis.
- Perform stress analysis using industry standard analytical approach.
- Produce stress analysis reports and FEM Validation reports.
- Detailed part and installation drawing review and stress approval.
- Provide stress support to manufacturing team: repairs, NCR dispositions.
- Support test planning: instrumentation definition, load conditions.
- Support certification process for STC.
- Document stress processes and develop efficient tools to automate stress analysis.
- Work in close cooperation with other engineering disciplines such as Design, Manufacturing, Systems, Flight Test, Loads and Weights & Balance.
