Aircraft Stress Engineer Structures & MRB - OR- 1601 - Direct OR
Our client is internationally known for creating Aircraft Modifications with MRB loads and Stress calculations in the Oregon area. We are seeking a Stress Engineer at our headquarters with primary structures for fixed wing aircraft. This is a direct position.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND JOB REQUIREMENTS:
Generate formal engineering substantiation reports using both classical (hand calculations) and mathematical software which support certification of aircraft
structural modifications and repairs.
Analyze and check engineering data to ensure that it meets the requirements for FAA certification.
Develop Finite Element Analysis (FEA) using FEA tools (Nastran/Patran) which supports the design and certification of aircraft structural modifications. Develop linear and nonlinear
finite element models as required.
Prepare fatigue and damage tolerance analysis (DTA) which support aircraft modifications on damage tolerant structure.
Research and review engineering data (drawings, reports, manuals, etc.) defining aircraft structure or systems to determine the most efficient method of modification or alteration.
Develop preliminary analysis necessary to determine a practical aircraft modification approach.
Maintain accurate and organized engineering substantiation reports that are fully traceable and serve as an historical record of the aircraft modification or repair.
Develop and maintain Structural (Standard) Repair manuals used by maintenance technicians.
Coordinate with Designated Engineering Representatives to ensure aircraft modifications, repairs or design deviations achieve applicable FAA certification in a timely manner.
Any other duties as may reasonably be requested.
REQUIRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
BS Degree in Engineering.
Five to ten years' experience in the engineering field in a hands-on environment preferred. Minimum 3 years' experience.
Ability to prepare accurate and concise hand sketches for repair or design improvements. Solidworks, AutoCad or Catia experience a plus.
Large aircraft repair experience, preferably on Boeing and/or Airbus aircraft in a Maintenance and Repair Organization (MRO)
Knowledge of FAA regulations/certification processes and related requirements.
Comprehensive working knowledge of engineering principles, repair and fabrication practices, aviation hardware and general aircraft maintenance operations.
Knowledge of the use and application of aircraft technical data such as engineering drawings, SRM's, MM's, SB's, IPC's, etc.
Proficiency in Microsoft Office required.
Must have good oral, written, and organizational skills, and be able to read, write, speak, and understand the English language.
Must be a self-starter, highly motivated and be able to work under pressure with a minimum level of supervision.
Must possess ability to maneuver around airplanes (i.e., climbing stairs, on work stands, man lifts, etc.) and in confined areas (i.e. cargo compartments, E/E bays, etc.).
Ability and willingness to support significant travel, both foreign and domestic.
