Key Responsibilities
- Perform static strength, fatigue, damage tolerance, and stability assessments for production and in‑service concessions.
- Evaluate manufacturing non‑conformances, deviations, waivers, concessions, and quality notifications affecting aircraft structures.
- Develop engineering dispositions including Use‑As‑Is, Repair, Rework, and Acceptable Variations.
- Support Material Review Board (MRB) and concession activities by providing structural substantiation and risk assessments.
- Assess in‑service structural damage, repairs, and continued airworthiness concerns.
- Perform hand calculations, classical stress analysis, and finite element assessments to substantiate dispositions.
- Review and interpret engineering drawings, specifications, stress reports, and certification requirements.
- Coordinate with Design, Manufacturing, Quality, Airworthiness, and Customer Engineering teams to resolve structural issues within program timelines.
- Ensure compliance with company design practices, regulatory requirements, and customer standards.
- Support root cause investigations and implementation of corrective actions related to structural non‑conformances.
- Prepare and review technical documentation, stress reports, and approval packages.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related discipline.
- 5–15+ years of experience in aircraft structural stress analysis.
- Strong experience in production concessions, MRB, non‑conformance disposition, or in‑service structural assessments.
- Good understanding of aircraft metallic and composite structures.
- Proficiency in classical hand calculations and structural substantiation methodologies.
- Experience with aerospace design standards, certification requirements, and airworthiness principles.
- Ability to independently evaluate structural deviations and provide technically sound dispositions.
- Strong technical communication and stakeholder management skills.
Preferred Qualifications
- Previous delegated stress approval authority/signatory responsibility for concessions, MRB, QNs, or non‑conformance dispositions.
- Experience supporting major OEMs, Tier‑1 suppliers, or MRO organizations.
