Job Description:
About the Role
Become part of a pioneering team with a strong identity and a shared commitment to delivering best-in-class airframe solutions!
Join our structural analysis team and play a pivotal role in shaping the safety, efficiency, and longevity of next-generation fuselage structures as well as supporting our active flying fleet.
As a Fatigue & Damage Tolerance Engineer (F&DT), you will play a key role in the compliance of critical primary fuselage components across their entire lifecycle—from early-stage conceptual design and certification to fleet support and continuous innovation.
We are looking for passionate problem-solvers who want to push the boundaries of aerospace engineering in a collaborative, forward-thinking environment.
Your Core Responsibilities
- Ensure Operational Safety: Perform detailed fatigue and damage tolerance assessments on primary airframe structures.
- Certification & Compliance: Prepare airworthiness justification documents and contribute to the compliance with regulatory fatigue and damage tolerance requirements (e.g., CS/FAR 25).
- Testing & Validation: Support full-scale and component fatigue testing—from load spectrum definition to test monitoring, crack growth correlation, and model calibration.
- Keep the World Connected: Support the fatigue impact for in-service structural modification requests to ensure continued operational safety.
- Drive Engineering Innovation: Contribute to the improvement of internal F&DT tools, automating calculation routines using Python to increase efficiency.
What You Bring
- Education: Degree (Bachelor's/Master's) in Aerospace, Mechanical, or Structural Engineering.
- Technical Experience: First-hand experience in fatigue analysis, fracture mechanics, and damage tolerance principles for airframe structures.
- Tooling: Familiarity with FEM tools (e.g., HyperMesh) and standard industry F&DT software routines. Python scripting skills are a plus.
- Mindset: High attention to detail, strong collaborative skills, and a commitment to safety and innovation.
- Languages: Fluency in English (working language)
Why Join Us?
- Impactful Work: Directly contribute to developing, certifying, and maintaining the airworthiness of commercial and cargo fuselages.
- Career Opportunities: Access tailored mentorship programs, continuous upskilling, and global career opportunities.
- Work-Life Integration: Hybrid options, and competitive compensation packages tailored to support you and your family.
- Join a great team: Become integral part of a highly energetic and dynamic team, serving a greater, meaningful purpose and enjoying work.
Not a 100% match? If you bring solid fundamentals in airframe stress and a strong drive to learn, we encourage you to apply!
This job requires an awareness of any potential compliance risks and a commitment to act with integrity, as the foundation for the Company’s success, reputation and sustainable growth.
