Sr. Aeronautical Design Engineer – Aircraft Structures SME
We’re supporting a confidential aerospace organization seeking a Senior Aeronautical Design Engineer (Structures Subject Matter Expert) to play a key technical leadership role in aircraft design, analysis, and airworthiness compliance.

- Ensure compliance with FAA and/or military airworthiness standards
- Interface directly with certification authorities and customers
- Review and approve structural substantiation and engineering documentation
- Troubleshoot structural/design issues and support manufacturing teams
- Provide technical mentorship (informal SME leadership, not people management)
- Participate in design reviews and aircraft delivery/testing activities
- Occasional travel for installation, testing, and customer support
- 10–20 years aerospace/aeronautical structural engineering experience
- Deep expertise in aircraft structures and stress analysis
- Strong background in hand calcs + FEA (NASTRAN required)
- Experience with aircraft materials, fasteners, and structural assemblies
- Familiarity with MMPDS, Bruhn, Roark methods
- Exposure to FAA and/or military certification processes
- Strong technical communication and documentation skills
