Stress Engineer

Role Overview

As a Stress Engineer at Artiminds, you will be responsible for performing detailed stress analysis of aircraft structures—covering static, fatigue, and damage tolerance evaluations. You will work within a highly technical environment, applying Boeing analysis methodologies, classical hand calculations, and finite element interaction to validate structural integrity and ensure compliance with aerospace regulations.

This role requires strong analytical capability, hands-on experience with Boeing tools, and the ability to present technical findings clearly to both internal teams and customer SMEs.

Key Responsibilities (Elaborated)

Structural Analysis & Engineering Evaluation

✔ Perform classical hand calculations for static, fatigue, and damage tolerance analysis of aircraft metallic structures

✔ Apply Boeing Book 1, Book 2, and Book 3 methodologies for structural evaluation

✔ Use advanced Boeing tools including:

• IAS

• XSA / SA

• FEADMS

• IDTAS

• Moss-Duberg

• FAMOSS

✔ Extract load cases and stress outputs from Finite Element Models (FEM)

✔ Evaluate and determine critical failure modes, margins of safety, and structural constraints

Damage Tolerance & Compliance

✔ Perform Damage Tolerance Analysis (DTA) in accordance with CFR 25.571

✔ Assess crack growth behavior, inspection intervals, and fail-safe conditions

✔ Ensure compliance to customer, Boeing, FAA, and industry structural requirements

Engineering Collaboration & Cross-Functional Work

✔ Work collaboratively with:

• Design Engineers

• Materials & Process Engineering

• Customer SMEs

✔ Participate in technical discussions, design reviews, and stress panel review sessions

✔ Review engineering drawings, specifications, and change requests for structural impact

Technical Documentation & Reporting

✔ Prepare detailed Engineering Stress Reports demonstrating compliance and structural integrity

✔ Document methodologies, assumptions, boundary conditions, FEM linkages, and verification steps

✔ Present analysis summaries directly to the customer

✔ Ensure deliverables meet quality, safety, and aerospace certification standards

Customer & Program Support

✔ Interact directly with customer engineering teams to clarify Scope of Work

✔ Provide accurate forecasts of analysis schedules and deliverables

✔ Participate in design, repair, and sustainment engineering reviews

Mandatory Qualifications

🔹 Bachelor’s degree (BE/BTech/MTech/MS) in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering

🔹 5–12 years of hands-on stress analysis experience in the Aerospace industry

🔹 Strong command of structural analysis of metallic aircraft structures

🔹 Proven expertise in:

• Static analysis

• Fatigue analysis

• Damage tolerance (DTA)

• CFR 25.571 compliance

🔹 Experience using Boeing stress tools and methodologies

🔹 Ability to produce high-quality stress reports with minimal oversight
