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.
Apply now to discuss this opportunity in confidence.
