Senior Structural Analysis Engineer

Job Overview: Your Mission in This Role

We are seeking a highly experienced and talented Senior Structural Analysis Engineer with deep expertise in stress analysis for eVTOL aircraft. As a senior member of our dynamic aerospace engineering team, you will provide high-level technical expertise to ensure the structural integrity, impact resistance, and optimal performance of our next-generation electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles.

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in advanced CFRP and metal structures, a proven track record in aerospace certification programs, and a proactive mindset to naturally guide technical consensus across cross-functional teams and raise the overall engineering standard.

Key Responsibilities

Methodology and Execution: Plan and execute structural analysis and testing strategies in accordance with structural assurance requirements (e.g., Building Block Approach) for eVTOL certification.

Technical Excellence: Lead detailed structural analyses of complex eVTOL components (CFRP and metallic), ensuring full compliance with strength, stiffness, fatigue, damage tolerance, and impact resistance requirements.

Advanced Analysis: Evaluate complex stress, strain, and deformation characteristics under static, dynamic, vibratory, and thermal loads.

Certification Documentation: Develop and maintain critical documentation required for certification (e.g., EASA/FAA), including stress reports, test plans, and compliance matrices, acting as a key technical contributor during authority audits.

Peer Mentoring: Act as a technical reference within the team, providing guidance, peer review support, and mentoring to less experienced engineers to promote best engineering practices.

Essential Skills and Qualifications

Extensive experience (over 5 years) in structural analysis in the aerospace industry (preferably with composite aircraft, helicopters, or eVTOL programs).

Solid experience in calculation, analysis, and reporting on complex metal and CFRP composite structures.

Advanced proficiency in Nastran (for linear/non-linear static and dynamic analysis) and LS-DYNA (for explicit dynamics/impact resistance).

Deep knowledge of mechanics of materials, classical manual calculations, composite failure criteria, and fatigue/damage tolerance (DTA) principles.

Proven ability to independently conduct technical projects and foster a collaborative environment.

Desirable Skills

Deep understanding of specific certification frameworks (e.g., EASA SC-VTOL, FAA Part 23/27) and guidelines for composites (e.g., CMH-17, AC 20-107B).

Experience in structural requirements analysis and development of comprehensive structural certification and testing plans.

Experience in planning structural modifications and root cause analysis for failures or nonconformities in tests.

Extensive knowledge of aeronautical engineering in general, enabling effective interdepartmental collaboration (aerodynamics, systems, testing).

Skills for Collaborative Success

Strategic alignment: Ability to flexibly adapt to the opinions and ideas of others, firmly guiding technical discussions to achieve project objectives.

Proactive communication: Ability to think proactively, consult superiors to ensure alignment, and clearly communicate technical risks and mitigation measures to non-technical stakeholders.

Knowledge sharing: Natural inclination to share knowledge, enhance team capabilities, and take on unprecedented challenges in the Urban Air Mobility (UAM) sector.

Positive and optimistic attitude.
