Engineer- Structures

• Evaluate emerging technologies in aircraft structures and demonstrate their readiness level for aircraft applications
• Propose new architectures, concepts and explore disruptive and incremental innovation
• Design and material trade-off analysis for new and legacy Airbus programmes
• Collaborate with stakeholders to identify, refine, and document requirements, even when initial inputs are incomplete or uncertain
• Develop solutions that meet the requirements of engineering, manufacturing, assembly, cost and time to market
• Perform preliminary design and sizing studies using legacy methods, hand calculations and FEM
• Validate preliminary design and suggest modifications in case of low reserve factors
• Linear and non-linear static and fatigue stress justifications
• Collaborate with other groups within Airframe / Structures such as materials, system installation for end to end solutions

Required Domain Expertise:

• Very strong fundamentals in strength of materials / theory of elasticity, engineering mathematics, finite element method, aircraft structures - metallic and composite, Non linear FEA
• Hands on experience in trade studies, sizing, non-linear analysis of aircraft primary and secondary structures
• Technically competent with structural design principles
• Stress analysis of metallic and composite structures
• Scripting for post processing and FE model building
• Experience in handling DFEM and GFEM - understanding input deck, troubleshooting errors
• Interpreting engineering drawings is desirable
