• Diversity Connects: Work in a diverse environment with more than 140 nationalities, where exchange, mutual support, and inclusion are part of our DNA.

Your Tasks and Responsibilities

• Create and technically approve analysis models, F&DT calculations, reports, and studies for aircraft structures across multiple programs (A350XWB and A320 Family).

• Check and approve internally and externally created analysis data and documentation, and provide stress approval of drawing sets and technical documentations.

• Ensure strict adherence to airworthiness regulations, design principles, processes, methods, and manufacturing guidelines to guarantee structural integrity and safe operations.

• Technically monitor, guide, and support subcontracting firms providing structural analysis work.

• Validate relevant design inputs for manufacturing drawings, and collaborate closely with design, project, and manufacturing teams, as well as production and customer support.

• Define, interpret, and validate structural tests required for aircraft certification.

• Create, monitor, and report on project plans and performance metrics.

• Support the digital transformation within the structural analysis department by implementing automation, simplifying tools, and redesigning processes.

Desired Skills and Qualifications

• University degree in Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a similar field (or equivalent qualification).

• Several years of professional experience in aviation engineering.

• Extensive experience in the development and F&DT analysis of aircraft structures (metallic and ideally also composite).

• Ideally technical approval delegation according to Airbus M1020 (for static and/or fatigue) or sufficient experience to obtain this delegation quickly.

• Proficiency in analytical calculation methods (e.g. ISAMI, HSB, Niu, Bruhn) and deep knowledge of numerical calculations (Finite Element Modelling using Altair Hyperworks and Nastran, or similar).

• Solid knowledge of programming languages (e.g. Python) and data analytics to support process automation.

• Strong collaboration skills, ability to manage a small team of engineers autonomously, coupled with a growth mindset, curiosity, and adaptability to new ways of working.
