Job description

AXISCADES is a leading global end-to-end engineering and technology solutions provider, delivering cutting-edge engineering services to aerospace, defense, automotive, and heavy engineering leaders worldwide.

Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced Aircraft Structural Repair Design Engineer with specialized expertise in wing structures and in-service aircraft repair engineering.

In this role, you will be responsible for analyzing, reviewing, and technically validating structural repair solutions for active, in-service aircraft. You will perform damage assessments, structural substantiations, and ensure strict compliance with Airbus repair procedures and airworthiness requirements. This position requires close collaboration with Stress/Static, Fatigue, and offshore Design Engineering teams, as well as Airbus signatories and Customer Support.

Key Responsibilities

• Repair Solution Validation: Analyze, review, and technically validate structural repair solutions for daily in-service aircraft requirements.
• Damage Assessment & Substantiation: Assess aircraft structural damage and develop repair solutions based on sound aircraft design principles, repair methodologies, and structural substantiation.
• Compliance & Standards: Ensure all repair solutions comply with applicable Airbus standards, specifications, engineering procedures, and airworthiness criteria.
• Deliverable & Tool Management: Create, review, and coordinate TD, AW, and RDTS deliverables within the TRM environment. Manage and track repair cases through ICARUS to ensure right-first-time delivery and timely case closure.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Static/Stress and Fatigue Engineering teams to establish structural acceptability and substantiation requirements.
• Global Team Coordination: Collaborate effectively with offshore Design Engineering teams, Airbus signatories, and Customer Support to deliver time-critical repair cases.
• Continuous Improvement: Identify recurring technical issues to drive process, quality, and delivery performance enhancements.

Required Qualifications & Experience

• Education: Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent qualification) in Aeronautical, Aerospace, Mechanical, Structural Engineering, or a related discipline.
• In‑Service Repair Expertise: Proven track record in in‑service aircraft structural repair engineering within an OEM, MRO, airline, or aerospace engineering services environment.
• Technical Mastery: Deep knowledge of aircraft wing structures, structural repair design, damage assessment, repair methodologies, and structural substantiation.
• Airbus Ecosystem: Hands‑on experience with Airbus engineering standards, repair practices, procedures, and deliverables (TD, AW, RDTS).
• Systems Proficiency: Practical experience with ICARUS and TRM (or equivalent aircraft repair engineering management systems).
• Stress & Fatigue Exposure: Practical experience working alongside Static, Stress, and Fatigue engineering teams to confirm structural acceptability.
• Delivery & Soft Skills: Strong engineering judgment, high‑level technical documentation skills, and the ability to manage multiple time‑critical cases in a fast‑paced environment.
