Structures Engineer (Air Vehicles)

About the role

We are seeking an experienced Structures Engineer to support the design, analysis, and development of advanced air vehicle platforms. You will own the full structural development lifecycle, from conceptual design through prototype manufacturing, delivering high‑performance primary and secondary aircraft structures.

Key responsibilities

• Design and develop primary and secondary aircraft structural components and assemblies using metallic and composite materials.
• Perform structural modeling and finite element analysis (FEA) at component, assembly, and vehicle levels.
• Conduct strength, buckling, fatigue, damage tolerance, and delamination assessments.
• Apply Design for Manufacturing principles to optimize cost, manufacturability, and performance.
• Collaborate with systems, aerodynamics, manufacturing, integration, and project engineering teams.
• Support prototype builds, manufacturing, integration, and testing activities.

Required profile

• Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent.
• 5+ years of experience in aerospace structural design, analysis, or related engineering roles.
• Experience with CAD software and engineering data analysis tools.
• Proficiency with structural analysis software such as ANSYS, NASTRAN, or equivalent FEA tools.
• Strong understanding of structural mechanics, composite materials, stress analysis, fatigue assessment, and load path development.
