Advanced Stress Engineer

Overview

As an Advanced Stress Engineer in the Airframe Engineering team, you will drive structural analysis for metallic and composite aircraft structures to support design, testing and certification. You will develop analysis methods from first principles and automate processes to improve efficiency. You will collaborate with design, loads, test, certification and materials teams to resolve structural challenges and contribute to certification evidence. This is a window into shaping the next generation of eVTOL aircraft at a fast-growing aerospace company. You will work across disciplines to improve analysis techniques and support technology introduction and material qualification programs.
