Structural Stress Engineer information

What does a structural stress engineer do?

A Structural Stress Engineer analyzes the strength and stability of structures to ensure they can withstand various loads and stresses during operation. They use engineering principles, mathematical models, and software simulations to evaluate how materials and components respond to forces such as weight, pressure, vibration, and temperature changes. Their work is crucial in industries like aerospace, civil engineering, and automotive manufacturing to ensure safety, compliance, and performance of structures. Structural Stress Engineers often collaborate with design teams to suggest improvements or modifications for greater reliability and efficiency.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a structural stress engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Structural Stress Engineer, you need a solid background in structural analysis, materials science, and engineering principles, typically supported by a degree in mechanical, civil, or aerospace engineering. Familiarity with finite element analysis (FEA) software such as ANSYS or NASTRAN, along with knowledge of relevant industry codes and certifications, is commonly required. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly are essential soft skills. These competencies ensure robust, safe, and efficient structural designs that meet stringent performance and regulatory standards.

What are some common challenges structural stress engineers face when working on multidisciplinary projects?

Structural Stress Engineers often collaborate closely with design, manufacturing, and quality teams to ensure that components meet safety and performance standards. A key challenge is balancing the need for structural integrity with design constraints such as weight reduction and manufacturability. This often involves iterative analysis, clear communication across disciplines, and adapting to evolving project requirements. Successful engineers are proactive in resolving discrepancies between analysis results and practical design considerations, and they frequently employ advanced simulation tools to predict and mitigate potential issues.

Job description

Company Overview
Imagine a piloted air taxi that takes off vertically, then quietly carries you and your fellow passengers over the congested city streets below, enabling you to spend more time with the people and places that matter most. At Joby, we've been working to make that dream a reality since 2009 and we're now in the final stages of certifying our aircraft with the FAA. With plans to launch our aircraft in the US and Dubai, we're now scaling manufacturing and preparing for the launch of our commercial service.
Overview
Joby Aviation is seeking a motivated Staff MRB Stress Engineer to join our growing MRB (Material Review Board) Engineering team. This role is a key position as our company quickly moves towards FAA type and production certifications. This team member is expected to have a strong understanding of aerospace engineering principles, excellent problem-solving skills, and the ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams. The individual will be responsible for dispositioning non-conformances and ensuring that all materials and components meet airworthiness requirements. Attention to detail is critical and the engineer will have experience analyzing aircraft structures, supporting aircraft builds, and both composite and metallic repairs. Prior experience in an aircraft manufacturing environment or support role is a must as you will play a key role in the scale up of Joby's high volume aircraft production line.
Responsibilities
  • Select appropriate methods, techniques, and evaluation criteria to resolve complex engineering issues
  • Write robust dispositions with clear requirements to restore airworthiness
  • Produce structural substantiation reports in support of NCR disposition
  • Develop MRB work methods and tools and help build the Joby MRB system
  • Monitor trends of recurring discrepancies and support root cause corrective action initiatives
  • Directly communicate with quality, inspection, manufacturing engineers, and M&P

Required
  • B.S. in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, or another relevant discipline
  • 8+ years of working experience in an aerospace engineering role
  • Experience with the manufacture and repair of metallic and composite structures
  • Aerospace MRB experience
  • Proficient with CATIA V5/V6 or similar CAD program
  • Excellent problem-solving skills
  • Hands on experience in aircraft manufacturing facility or repair depot
  • Highly proactive attitude with the ability to manage multiple assignments
  • Ability to travel domestically (25% or less)

Desired
  • 12+ years of working experience in an aerospace engineering role
  • Prior independent MRB approval authority
  • Experience developing and designing aircraft structural repairs and calculating basic static stress analysis in support of the repair disposition and/or repair drawing on both metallic and composite
  • In-depth understanding of loading scenarios, free body diagrams, and structural behavior of aircraft components
  • Working knowledge of Polyworks and Femap/Nastran
  • Experience with composite laminate fastened and bonded structure
  • Hands on experience working within aircraft certification program
  • Excellent understanding of FAR Part 23 and 27 regulations

Additional Information
Compensation at Joby is a combination of base pay and Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). The target base pay for this position is $185,300 - $254,800/yr. The compensation package will be determined by job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
Joby also offers a comprehensive benefits package, including paid time off, healthcare benefits, a 401(k) plan with a company match, an employee stock purchase plan (ESPP), short-term and long-term disability coverage, life insurance, and more.
Joby is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
