Airframe stress engineer

• Complete static stress reports and develop analysis packages for review and release in ENOVIA.
• Develops complex conceptual and detailed design specifications by analyzing product performance.
• Investigates design factors such as function, materials, performance, interchangeability, weight and stress & strength requirements.
• Performs diverse and complex product development, modification, and evaluation of components, by applying engineering principles and developing new or unique stress analysis tools/ methods as required.
• Applies scientific analysis and mathematical models to predict and measure the outcome and consequence of design, in terms of stress, strength, life, and alternatives.
• Interprets and validates test results from material testing / feature testing for accuracy and applicability
• Utilizes and interprets predictive models to simulate and verify design concepts. Perform static analysis using industry standard calculations methods (i.e. Bruhn, Roark, Flabel, and O.E.M. structures manuals)
• Contributes to the completion milestones associated with specific projects (e.g. create functional diagrams and system layouts; review detailed drawings and schematics; define data structure, interfaces and analyze material requirements)
• Reviews airframe specifications and/or modifications to ensure clarity, completeness, form, fit, function, and conformity to standards and procedures.
• Troubleshoots design errors, omissions, and other deficiencies, and recommends revisions, engineering change orders, and improvements to engineering management or the project team.
• Use CATIA V6 / ENOVIA and a balance of classical hand calculations and FE tools to develop high performance airframe structures.

• BS in Mechanical, Aerospace Engineering, Math or related science degree.
• Experience in Aircraft stress analysis +10 yrs. required.
• Experience in Helicopter structural design is preferred, including composites
• Experience with CATIA V6 and Enovia
• Experience with ANSYS, NASTRAN/PATRAN, FEMAP and HYPERMESH (Desired)
• Microsoft software suite applications such as Excel, Word, PowerPoint, etc.
• Good oral and written communication skills
