Stress Analyst

Field Aerospace, a global provider of aircraft integration, modification, maintenance, logistics, and sustainment solutions is in search of a highly motivated, hands-on professional for the position of Stress Analyst.

The Stress Analyst is responsible for performing detailed stress analysis of primary and secondary components, by classical hand analysis as well as Finite Element methods, in order to support the structural design efforts of new and modified components from the conceptual phase to development and certification. This role will plan, organize and prioritize work contents based on project deliverables. This is a full-time position based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma but will consider remote candidates.

Essential Job Functions:

• Create detailed finite structural element models in the process of structural integrity verification
• Generate stress substantiation reports.
• Develop or review structural qualification plans in accordance with 14 CFR FAA standards and regulatory requirements.
• Coordinate with design engineers, team lead, suppliers, and technical management personnel to assure that the design meets or exceeds the project deliverables and complies with the regulatory requirements.
• Participate in regularly scheduled design reviews and is responsible to present stress findings and challenge design solutions.

Required Experience:

• Minimum of three (3) years progressive related aerospace engineering experience in the fatigue and structural stress analysis discipline
• Basic knowledge of aircraft structure, materials strengths and properties, design criteria, loading conditions, and processes
• Skill and ability to collect, organize, synthesize, analyze data, summarize findings, develop conclusions, and recommendations from appropriate data sources
• Skill and ability to interface constructively and effectively in a cross functional team environment
• Skill and ability to work on complex technical problems and provide solutions in an independent manner
• Proficient in standard (classical) hand calculation methods
• Experience in static (FE and free-body)
• Experience in finding compliance to FAA/EASA Aircraft regulatory requirements
