Airframe Fatigue & Damage Tolerance Engineer

About the role

Join a pioneering structural analysis team focused on delivering best‑in‑class airframe solutions. You will ensure safety, efficiency and longevity of next‑generation fuselage structures and support an active flying fleet.

Key responsibilities

• Perform detailed fatigue and damage tolerance assessments on primary airframe structures.
• Prepare airworthiness justification documents and ensure compliance with regulatory fatigue requirements (e.g., CS/FAR 25).
• Support full‑scale and component fatigue testing, including load spectrum definition, test monitoring and model calibration.
• Assist with fatigue impact analysis for in‑service structural modification requests.
• Improve internal F&DT tools and automate calculation routines using Python.

Required profile

• Degree (Bachelor’s or Master’s) in Aerospace, Mechanical or Structural Engineering.
• First‑hand experience in fatigue analysis, fracture mechanics and damage tolerance for airframe structures.
• High attention to detail, strong collaborative skills and commitment to safety and innovation.
• Fluency in English (working language).

Required skills

• Fatigue analysis and damage tolerance assessment.
• Fracture mechanics principles.
• FEM tools such as HyperMesh.
• Python scripting (automation of calculations).

What we offer

• Impactful work on commercial and cargo fuselage certification and maintenance.
• Mentorship programs, continuous upskilling and global career opportunities.
• Dynamic team environment with flexible working arrangements where possible.
