Structure Stress Engineer

INFOSYS NOVA HOLDINGS LLC • Kinston, NC

17h • Onsite

About The Position

This role involves leading and performing static, fatigue, and damage tolerance (FDT) stress analysis of primary and secondary aircraft structures. The engineer will utilize classical hand calculations and Finite Element Analysis (FEA), working with both metallic and composite structures. Key responsibilities include understanding load paths, extracting loads from Finite Element Models (GFEM/DFEM), determining critical failure modes, and performing analysis to ensure structural integrity. The role also involves developing mitigation techniques for low margins of safety, preparing stress dossiers as per certification requirements, and reviewing/validating stress analysis outputs and dossiers for compliance. The engineer will drive issue resolution by collaborating with cross-functional teams (Design, manufacturing, quality, configuration management, etc.) and serve as a technical representative for onsite offshore coordination, addressing queries, clarifications, and technical escalations. Familiarity with Airbus Stress Tools, including ISAMI, is preferred.

Requirements

• BE / BTECH/MTECH/MS or equivalent degree (Aerospace/ Mechanical Engineering)
• 5–10 years of hands‑on experience in aerospace structural stress analysis.
• Proven experience working on Airbus aircraft programs (A320, A330, A350, A380, etc.).
• Proficiency with Fatigue and Damage Tolerance Analysis for structure.
• Advanced Static and non-linear analysis experience.
• Knowledge of hand calculations and FE analysis.
• Knowledge of Airbus processes and procedures relating to design (RSDP, SIDP, AP, ABD, AIPI, AIPS, etc..).
• Understanding of aerospace design principles and airworthiness requirements.
• Experience of using Airbus Supply (DocMaster, Airnavx etc.).
• Ensuring the safe operation of Airbus aircraft with respect to structural integrity.
• Airbus stress Signatory experience (Checker/approver).
• Valid Airbus training certificates in AIRBUS SAP, ISAMI, VPM and PASS SSI.
• Bi-lingual (French and English).
