Job Summary
We are seeking a highly experienced Structures Lead to lead the structural design, analysis, and optimization of advanced aircraft configurations.

This role is responsible for defining the airframe structural architecture, load paths, and material systems while ensuring optimal balance between structural integrity, weight efficiency, and manufacturability.

The candidate should bring a strong research background in aerospace structures combined with hands-on industrial experience in aircraft or high-performance structural engineering programs.

Key Responsibilities

Lead structural design and architecture development for aircraft airframe systems
Define primary and secondary load paths for advanced aircraft configurations
Perform high-fidelity finite element analysis (FEA) for static, dynamic, fatigue, and failure conditions
Develop structural sizing models and perform weight optimization studies
Conduct composite and metallic structural design and material selection
Ensure structural integrity under aerodynamic, inertial, and operational load cases
Collaborate with aerodynamic and systems teams for integrated aircraft design
Evaluate manufacturability and structural feasibility of design concepts
Lead structural optimization for weight reduction and performance improvement
Prepare technical documentation, structural reports, and certification-ready analysis packages
Support design reviews and engineering decision-making at configuration level

Required Skills & Qualifications

PhD in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field (mandatory)
5–12+ years of experience in aerospace OEMs or Tier-1 aerospace organizations
Strong expertise in finite element analysis (ANSYS / Abaqus or equivalent)
Deep understanding of aircraft structural mechanics and load analysis
Experience in composite and metallic aircraft structural design
Knowledge of fatigue, fracture mechanics, and damage tolerance principles
Experience in structural optimization and lightweight design methodologies
Exposure to aircraft, UAV, or advanced aerospace structural programs
Strong ability to bridge research-level methods with industrial application
Experience in multidisciplinary aircraft development programs is highly preferred
