Fatigue and Damage Tolerance Repair Engineer

• Degree in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent) and relevant professional experience.
• Proven background in aerospace F&DT engineering.
• Hands-on experience performing F&DT analysis using approved tools like ISAMI and GISEH, and generating comprehensive Technical Dossiers/Reports.
• Solid technical grasp of F&DT analysis for both metallic and composite structures.
• Understanding of fundamental fatigue and damage tolerance methods, with the ability to develop these methods.
• Knowledge of Airworthiness regulations.

Join a dynamic, multifunctional team at the heart of structural integrity for the entire Airbus fleet.

• You will tackle complex, real-world challenges, delivering structural repairs and processes that ensure the continued airworthiness of aircraft.
• Our work is diverse: Supporting daily repair turnaround times to supporting complex major repairs and wing test activities.
• We enjoy the challenge of creating and delivering effective repairs for any damage, anywhere on the wing.
• The Fatigue & Damage Tolerance (F&DT) team provides integrated support to all 1SAWD activities, reporting to the HO 1SAWD1.

This role is responsible for leading the delivery of all F&DT analyses and justifications for metallic and composite structures.

• Technical Authority: You will partner with Lead, Senior and Principal F&DT engineers to guarantee the technical integrity of all work.
• Critical Validation: You will work closely in partnering Design and Static Stress engineers to assess and validate repairs to damaged aircraft structures.
• Influence & Management: Tasks may also include guiding sub-contract suppliers, presenting major repair scoping to senior stakeholders, and managing external work packages.
• Develop: A key responsibility is developing yourself toward signature delegation.

What You'll Be Doing Day-to-Day

• Execute F&DT analysis and compile justification reports for repair designs, collaborating with skilled Design and Static Stress engineers to develop optimum repairs.
• Integrate with cross-functional teams to support major work packages and complex incident response.
• Provide support to other structures repair teams such as Fuselage, Empennage, and High-Lift devices, when required.

Who We're Looking For

• You are a skilled aerospace structural analysis engineer who enjoys collaborating to find effective solutions to complex technical problems.
• You are pragmatic, a skilled problem-solver, and capable of making well-reasoned decisions.
• You are organized and driven to deliver technically correct, on-time, and high-quality results, even within tight time constraints.
• You collaborate effectively with teams inside and outside Airbus (including external subcontractors).

Essential Requirements to Apply

• Familiarity with the application of Finite Element analysis.
• Understanding of Airbus design principles, processes, methods, manufacturing capabilities, and specific knowledge of metallic and composite Airbus Wing structure.
• Signature Ready: Must currently hold F&DT approval delegated signature, or demonstrate the capability to achieve it within 6-12 months through our robust development framework.
