Stress Engineer

We are seeking a Mechanical Stress Engineer with a solid background in aircraft structures, military standards, and engineering metals. The ideal candidate will hold a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering and possess a minimum of 10 years of relevant experience in the aerospace industry. This role focuses on evaluating metallic and composite structures through classical stress analysis methods, finite element analysis, and structural testing. The engineer will collaborate with senior engineers, production teams, quality personnel, and cross-functional teams to contribute to high-quality product development.

Duties and Responsibilities:

Examines and analyzes how much stress a structure or component can handle through static, fatigue, and vibration tests.

Performs classical hand calculations and finite element analysis (FEA) on composite structures, reviews engineering drawings, and develops load cases.

Collaborates with mechanical and integration engineers to optimize, certify, and produce designs.

Prepares detailed analysis reports on safety, strength, and producibility of designs.

Analyzes and checks structural engineering data produced by other engineering groups to ensure it meets the structural requirements.

Creates and develops structural engineering substantiation reports that will be used to certify repair and modification data.

Generates stress analysis notes in a usable, traceable file that serves as a historical substantiation record of the repair or modification.

Creates, develops, and implements test procedures as required to obtain certifiable allowable data.

Develops finite element models to aid in the development of design and certification data.

Provides input and suggestions for continuous improvement of various department procedures, controls, flows, and/or systems.

Requirements

General Expectations:

· Proficient with SolidWorks and SolidWorks PDM.

· Skilled in structural members, 3D mechanical routing, and managing large assemblies.

· Strong understanding of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T).

· Familiar with FAA standards and military specifications.

· Ability to take initiative in identifying and solving stress challenges.

· Effective communication skills, both verbal and written.

· Collaborative mindset and ability to work in a multidisciplinary team.

· Willingness to liaise with planning, production, and quality departments as needed.

· Committed to upholding company values and engineering standards.
