Stress Engineer/ Analyst (Contract to Perm)

**About Aery Aviation LLC** Aery Aviation, LLC is an aviation services organization whose focus is on the engineering, certification, and production associated with aircraft modifications. Our team has significant experience spanning everything from single engine ISR aircraft for government utilization to widebody VVIP interior completions. From design to delivery, Aery provides turnkey, bespoke solutions for our clientele. **About the role** The Stress Analyst is responsible for the structural analysis, substantiation, and documentation of aircraft structures and mechanical systems associated with aircraft modifications, repairs, and certification programs. This role performs analytical evaluations to verify that aircraft structures and installations satisfy applicable strength, stiffness, fatigue, damage tolerance, and airworthiness requirements. The Stress Analyst develops engineering reports, substantiation packages, and supporting documentation required to demonstrate compliance with applicable regulatory and customer requirements. Stress Analysts work closely with Mechanical Engineers, Mechanical Designers, Electrical Engineers, Certification Engineers, Production personnel, and external stakeholders to ensure aircraft modifications are structurally sound, manufacturable, maintainable, and certifiable. They provide technical guidance throughout the design process by validating engineering assumptions, identifying structural risks, and supporting fabrication, installation, testing, and certification activities. **Who We Are Looking For** - Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related engineering discipline from an accredited college or university. - Experience performing structural analyses and developing engineering substantiation for aircraft structures, mechanical systems, or aerospace products. - Working knowledge of structural mechanics, materials, fatigue, damage tolerance, vibration, analytical methods, finite element analysis (FEA), classical hand calculations, and engineering evaluation techniques. - Experience preparing engineering analyses, stress reports, margin of safety calculations, and supporting compliance documentation. - Strong analytical, organizational, written, and verbal communication skills, including proficiency with Microsoft Office applications. - Ability to work in both office and aircraft hangar environments. - U.S. Citizenship or Permanent Resident status. **What You Will Be Doing** - Perform structural analyses and develop substantiation demonstrating compliance with applicable regulatory, customer, and airworthiness requirements for aircraft modifications, repairs, and certification programs. - Develop engineering analyses including static strength, fatigue, damage tolerance, vibration, thermal, and other evaluations necessary to support design decisions and certification activities. - Prepare engineering reports, stress reports, margin of safety calculations, compliance documentation, and supporting technical data required for regulatory approval. - Review engineering designs, drawings, and proposed aircraft modifications to verify structural integrity, manufacturability, maintainability, and compliance with applicable requirements. - Develop structural load paths, free-body diagrams, analytical models, and engineering assumptions supporting substantiation activities. - Coordinate with Mechanical Engineers, Mechanical Design Engineers, Electrical Engineers, Certification Engineers, Production, Quality, and external stakeholders to resolve structural issues and support successful program execution. - Support development of certification artifacts, compliance substantiation, engineering reports, test plans, and supporting documentation required for regulatory and customer approval. - Provide technical support during fabrication, assembly, installation, troubleshooting, testing, and aircraft modification activities. - Participate in engineering design revi…
