MRB​/Liaison Engineer; Design & Stress

MRB Engineer (Design & Stress)

Airbus Commercial Aircraft is looking for MRB Engineers (Design & Stress) to join our Engineering department based in Kinston, North Carolina. In this multifaceted role, you will immerse yourself in an environment designed to rapidly advance your expertise in aircraft structure, design, and systems while serving as a key technical authority. You will support production concessions of complex aircraft structures, developing and documenting analysis to support high-quality solutions.

Your mission is to ensure absolute safety, efficiency, and regulatory compliance while balancing structural integrity with manufacturing reality.

Our Engineers have the privilege of working on complex, highly engineered machines and are involved at all stages of the aircraft life cycle, from product development to manufacturing and direct support to our airline customers. If you're interested in designing, creating, and testing the present and future of Airbus products across the globe, join our mission to connect the world.

The Airbus Aerosystems Kinston facility sits at the forefront of aerospace manufacturing, specializing in the production of large, advanced composite aerostructures. Our team builds critical components for the state-of-the-art Airbus A350 XWB, including the composite center fuselage and wing spar.

At Airbus, we support you to work, connect and collaborate more easily and accessibly. Wherever possible, we foster flexible working arrangements to stimulate innovative thinking.

Your challenges:
