Job description

NRT seeks an experienced Aerospace Structural Analysis Engineer to lead and execute structural analysis and testing, using analytical methods, finite element models/simulations and other analysis tools throughout the product lifecycle.

Roles and Responsibilities

• Lead and manage the structural analysis team to conduct analysis of air vehicles and ground systems.
• Discern the right level of analysis to apply to meet the requirements (static, dynamic, modal, thermal, inertia relief, aero‑elastic, buckling, thermal for composite, metal and plastic components & assemblies).
• Quantify and document load cases and environments.
• Execute hand calculations and first‑order models prior to undertaking detailed analysis.
• Support the design, instrumentation selection, execution and data analysis of ground and flight tests to validate models and predictions, including static, dynamic, shock, and fatigue tests. Translate analysis/test results into actionable design recommendations and risk mitigation strategies.
• Lead trade studies and mass optimization efforts to improve the design.
• Collaborate with other hardware engineering disciplines and guide design decisions based on analysis results.
• Ensure design, analyses and testing meet certification requirements.
• Stay current with advancements in stress analysis techniques, materials technology, and industry standards.

Education & Experience

B.E/B.Tech (Mechanical/Aeronautical) with minimum 8 years of Industrial Experience or M.Tech (Mechanical/Aeronautical) with 6 years of Industrial Experience.

Must Have Skills

• At least 5 years’ experience in analysis of main aircraft structural components (metallic and composites).
• Deep understanding of statics, dynamics, mechanics of materials, and materials properties (composites & other advanced materials).
• Experienced using FEA software NASTRAN / APEX with a focus in NASTRAN solution sequences for linear and non‑linear static, dynamic, buckling & aero‑elastic analysis.
• Structural testing experience (static, dynamic, shock) including sensor selection, data acquisition, and data post‑processing.
• Awareness of airworthiness certification requirements based on analysis and testing.

Good to Have Skills

• Experience in structural analysis of unmanned aerial vehicles.
• Experience in component and coupon level testing and analysis.
• Basic knowledge of Simulation Management tools (e.g., SIM scale, SIM Manager).
