Aerospace structural design engineer
The aeronautical or space structures calculation engineer is responsible for the analysis, dimensioning and verification of aircraft or space vehicle structures.
He/she carries out complex calculations to ensure that structures withstand mechanical and environmental constraints while being optimized in terms of weight, safety and cost.
The role includes the use of analytical methods and finite element simulations to validate structural performance.

Technical skills
Good knowledge of materials used in aerospace (metals, composites, light alloys).
Excellent command of finite element simulation software (ANSYS, NASTRAN, Abaqus, etc.).
Understanding of domain-specific constraints (fluid mechanics, structural dynamics, fatigue, damage tolerance).
Knowledge of aeronautical (EASA, FAA) or space certification standards.
Behavioral skills
Working conditions
Travail principalement en bureau avec des interactions fréquentes avec les équipes de conception, de production et d’essais.
Possibilité de déplacements occasionnels vers des sites d’essais, des centres de production ou des partenaires industriels.
Participation à des essais structuraux ou à des campagnes de tests en laboratoire pour valider les calculs et les modèles.
