NRT seeks an experienced Aerospace Structural Analysis Engineer to lead and execute, structural analysis and testing, using analytical methods, finite element models/simulations and other analysis tools throughout the product lifecycle.

· Lead and manage the structural analysis team to conduct analysis of air vehicles and ground systems.

· Discern the right level of analysis to apply to meet the requirements (static, dynamic, modal, thermal, inertia relief, aero-elastic, buckling, thermal for composite, metal and plastic components & assemblies).

· Quantify and document load cases and environments.

· Execute hand calculations and first-order models prior to undertaking detailed analysis.

· Support the design, instrumentation selection, execution and data analysis of ground and flight tests to validate models and predictions, including static, dynamic, shock, and fatigue tests. Translate analysis/ test results into actionable design recommendations and risk mitigation strategies.

· Lead trade studies and mass optimization efforts to improve the design.

· Collaborate with other hardware engineering disciplines and guide design decisions based on analysis results.

· Ensure design, analyses and testing meet certification requirements.

· Stay current with advancements in stress analysis techniques, materials technology, and industry standards.

· B.E/B.Tech (Mechanical/Aeronautical) with minimum 8 years of Industrial Experience or M.Tech (Mechanical/Aeronautical) with 6 years of Industrial Experience.

· At least 5 years’ experience in analysis of main aircraft structural components (metallic and composites).

· Deep understanding of statics, dynamics, mechanics of materials, and materials properties (composites & other advanced materials).

· Experienced using FEA software NASTRAN / APEX with a focus in NASTRAN solution sequences for linear and non-linear static, dynamic, buckling & aero-elastic analysis.

· Structural testing experience (static, dynamic, shock) including sensor selection, data acquisition, and data post-processing.

· Awareness of airworthiness certification requirements based on analysis and testing.

· Experience in structural analysis of unmanned aerial vehicles.

· Experience in component and coupon level testing and analysis.

· Basic knowledge of Simulation Management tools e.g., SIM scale, SIM Manager.
