Job Description:

Airbus Commercial Aircraft is looking for Static Stress & F&DT Structure Engineers to join our Engineering department based in Wichita, Kansas.

You will be part of a team that supports the development of aircraft structures as a Static Stress or F&DT analyst. Duties include performing complex static or F&DT analysis for both metallic and non-metallic parts while working in close collaboration with design colleagues to provide quality solutions. Methods include the use of both classical hand calculations and computer techniques to develop high strength to weight ratio structures.

Meet the team:

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.

Your working environment:

Located on the Wichita State University (WSU) innovation campus is Airbus’ first dedicated engineering facility outside of Europe. Our team of 200+ support staff and engineers focus on aerostructure design including analysis of aircraft primary structures, such as wings and fuselages, for all major Airbus products across the globe.
