Working with cross-functional engineering teams, you'll provide the technical expertise needed to validate structural integrity and ensure compliance with industry and regulatory standards. 

What You'll Do 

• Perform structural analysis using classical hand calculations and finite element methods (FEM). 

• Analyze primary and secondary aircraft structures for static strength, fatigue, and damage tolerance. 

• Prepare structural substantiation reports, engineering documentation, and technical presentations. 

• Support design reviews, structural sizing, and load path development for new and modified aircraft structures. 

• Collaborate with engineering teams, suppliers, and customers throughout the design and certification process. 

• Support certification activities in compliance with FAA, EASA, and TCCA requirements. 

• Perform Material Review Board (MRB) activities as needed. 

What We're Looking For 

Required: 

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or equivalent. 

• 5+ years of stress engineering experience in the aerospace industry. 

• Proficiency with FEM tools such as Patran, Nastran, Nasgro, or Altair. 

• Experience with CATIA V5 and Microsoft Office. 

• Strong understanding of aircraft structural load paths, static analysis, fatigue, and damage tolerance. 

• Knowledge of civil aircraft certification requirements and certification processes. 

• Strong communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills with the ability to work independently. 

Preferred: 

• Material Review Board (MRB) experience. 

• Experience in an aircraft integration role or similar cross-functional engineering environment. 

Why Join PDS Tech Commercial? 

• Partner with a leading aerospace innovator on cutting-edge aircraft programs. 

• Work on complex engineering challenges that directly impact aircraft safety and performance.
