Lead Aircraft Stress Engineer – Aerospace Structures
Permanent | Aerospace | Advanced Air Mobility

We are recruiting for an experienced Aircraft Stress Engineer to join a cutting-edge aerospace programme focused on eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) aircraft and advanced air mobility platforms.

This role is ideal for a hands-on Structural Analysis Engineer with strong experience in airframe primary structures, composite materials, and certification-driven environments.

Key Responsibilities:

* Perform detailed stress analysis on composite and metallic aircraft structures (wing, fuselage, empennage)

* Conduct Finite Element Analysis (FEA) using tools such as Nastran, Patran, Hypermesh, Abaqus or Simcenter 3D

* Produce and check stress reports (PSR, JSR) to support airworthiness and certification

* Support FAA / EASA certification activities

* Participate in design reviews, trade studies and structural optimisation

* Ensure structures meet safety, manufacturability and maintainability requirements

* Experience of leading engineering teams ranging from 5 to 20 team members

Required Experience:

* Background in aerospace structural analysis / aircraft stress engineering

* Strong knowledge of composite and metallic airframe structures

* Hands-on experience with Nastran or equivalent FEA solvers

* Experience writing formal stress reports and certification documentation

* Familiarity with airworthiness regulations (FAA, EASA)

Desirable: Hypersizer, Solver 400, Simcenter 3D, Windchill PLM, rotorcraft or eVTOL experience.

This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to next-generation electric aircraft in a fast-paced, innovation-driven environment.
