Stress Engineer – Composite Structures

The stress engineer analyzes the structural integrity of aircraft components to ensure they can withstand operational loads and environmental conditions. They use simulation tools and calculations to assess strength, fatigue, and durability. The role is critical in ensuring safety, reliability, and compliance with aviation standards.

• Understand the type of damage and repair.
• Identify and locate the damages in the drawings.
• Identify the potential crack growth possibilities and scenarios.
• Estimate the effect of damage/repair on existing SSIs/PSEs.
• Section properties calculation at the rework location.
• Calculate fatigue stress spectrum and static limit stress using Golihat.
• Generation of beta factors for the crack growth scenarios using “Beta” software or NASGRO.
• Residual strength check analysis in Excel.
• Crack growth analysis through CRPR.
• Specification of inspection requirements such as threshold, repeat intervals, and method of inspections.
• Preparation of DT report per company standards for the DT analysis carried out.
• Quality check on the DT analysis and report.

• Bachelor Degree of Science in Engineering from an accredited university.
• 5-8 years experience in aerospace repair engineering.
