Role Summary
As a Senior Stress Analysis Engineer – Structural Repairs, you will be a technical pillar within the Structural Repairs Group (SFRG). You will play a key role in the structural justification and certification of repairs on commercial aircraft in service. You will lead complex analyses, support designers and certification delegates, and contribute to the improvement of the group’s practices and tools, while providing technical leadership to engineers.

Main Responsibilities
Structural Analysis and Justification

Supervise and perform static analyses using classical methods (Bruhn, Roark, etc.) and finite element models.

Conduct fatigue, crack propagation, and damage tolerance analyses for primary and repaired structures.

Develop and validate structural justification plans (analyses and tests) in line with applicable certification requirements.

Review, revise, and approve analysis reports and certification data.

Support for Design, Repairs, and Testing

Collaborate with designers to define materials, thicknesses, structural concepts, fasteners, and repair sequences.

Identify load paths, validate structural concepts, and compare solutions to optimize weight or repair complexity.





Prepare or review structural test plans and support the test team by interpreting results and guiding test preparation and execution.

Certification and Technical Liaison

Work closely with certification delegates to define analytical approaches and present the proposed structural justification.

Advise on feasibility, structural risks, certification strategies, and critical technical decisions, especially for urgent operational events in the field.

Technical Leadership and Continuous Improvement

Provide active mentoring to junior engineers and, as needed, coordinate calculation activities involving multiple contributors.

Contribute to the evolution of SFRG methods, tools, guides, and standards to improve the quality and efficiency of justifications.

Participate in design reviews, certification reviews, and other multidisciplinary interactions.

Position Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in mechanical, aeronautical, or aerospace engineering.

10 to 15 years of experience in stress analysis of aeronautical structures, ideally including repairs, modifications, or in-service approvals.

Advanced mastery of classical analysis methods for metallic and composite structures.

Expertise in fatigue, crack propagation, and damage tolerance analyses.

Proficiency in finite element analysis (Patran/Nastran).

In-depth knowledge of materials, manufacturing processes,



and aeronautical repair techniques.

Functional knowledge of CATIA V5/V6 (Enovia is an asset).

Functional proficiency in French and English.

Additional Desired Qualifications

Master’s degree in mechanical or aerospace engineering.

Experience in technical leadership or supervision of engineers.

Knowledge of certification requirements (TCCA, FAA, EASA).

Experience in in-service repair environments (MRO), operational fleet, or continued airworthiness support.

Familiarity with helicopter-specific structures and load environments.

Any other combination of schooling and experience deemed equivalent may be considered.
