Senior Composite Stress Engineering Specialist | Structures presso Beta

BETA Technologies is seeking a driven aerospace engineer as Senior Composite Stress Engineering Specialist for the Burlington Structures team.  As an integral member of BETA's growing team, you will be highly motivated to work with dynamic, cross-functional groups to ensure the success of the aircraft through certification.The Senior Composite Stress Engineering Specialist is responsible to generate and review composite structural analysis of aircraft primary and secondary structures by means of FEM and hand calculations, compile stress reports to support certification, support manufacturing and aircraft assembly MRB, and work cohesively within an IPT to assist product development.In this fast paced environment, responsibilities may extend to deriving test plans and requirements, develop material datasets, complete trade studies for product development, support structural test execution and result processing, and mentor junior team members. 



How you contribute to revolutionizing electric aviation:

Work in an innovative and fast paced team to design and analyze CTOL and VTOL configurations of Beta aircraft

Support integration and analysis of key parts of the aircraft, providing a strong understanding of all aircraft commodity main load paths

Participate in large-scale testing to meet certification requirements

Complete FEM activities including FE modelling and post processing to support certification and product development

Perform stress analysis, using both engineering principal hand calculations and FEM

Perform trade studies for product development, working closely with IPTs

Support low level test execution, derive stress requirements and allowables and analyze test results

Mentor junior team members and provide support to other internal departments that may require your Stress skills

Minimum Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace, Mechanical Engineering or related degree from an accredited University.

Minimum 10 years (post education) of relevant experience in an industry setting

Proven track record on developing products through a full product life cycle – concept, prototype, validated design, to certification and full scale production

Composite sizing experience, knowledge of industry best practices and methodologies (CMH-17, AC20-107B, ASTM, FAR 23 and 25 Requirements)

Highly proficient in one or more FEA tools (e.g. MSC Patran, Altair Hypermesh) for creation and validation of Finite Element Models to support composite structures certification process

Strong understanding of aircraft primary structural load paths, aircraft materials and manufacturing processes for both metallics and composite structure

Capable of simplifying a complex problem and provide initial analysis for either time sensitive MRB support or to scope critical constraints on product design

Familiarity with CAD and PLM systems (3DX, CATIA, POLARION)

Knowledge of regulatory authority certification requirements (e.g. FAA, EASA, TCCA)

Excellent technical writing and communication skills

Self-Motivated, knowledgeable and energetic person with excellent communication and listening skills

Able to work effectively in a fast-paced team environment
