At ZeroAvia, we're clean sky thinkers. For the world to achieve truly clean, guilt-free flight, we need a scalable solution; hydrogen-electric powertrains. As a leader in zero-emission aviation and a UK Jet Zero Council member, we're designing and commercialising hydrogen-powered solutions that will positively impact the future of aviation, global connectivity, and the world.
You will become a solution-focused champion in our high-velocity culture. We value results and efficiency and prioritise achieving our mission most effectively and innovatively possible. You'll be part of our unified team to create solutions and solve problems. If you're eager to take radical ownership and are unafraid to ask questions or challenge the status quo, then we want you to be part of our Clean Sky Thinking.
Engineering designs our next-generation hydrogen electric engines. Working across Hydrogen, Propulsion and Integration divisions, they solve technical problems and help decarbonize aviation by finding solutions for electric propulsion, hydrogen storage, fuel cell technology, power distribution, thermal management and more.
Role:
Integrating a novel propulsion system within existing aircraft designs is an important opportunity in decarbonising aviation. To meet this challenge, ZeroAvia requires an ambitious and capable
senior stress engineer
to help deliver effective solutions for modifying and re-certifying aircraft.
The successful candidate will predominantly work on integrating ZeroAvia's propulsion system onto airframe primary structures including understanding and mitigating against the impact the modifications have on the original aircraft type certificate. The candidate may also be involved in the structural verification of the powertrain and power generation system itself along with rig design.
Job responsibilities will include the design and analysis of aircraft mounting structures and structural assessment of primary aircraft structures to accommodate novel powertrain systems. The work will involve material selection, proposing solutions to achieve stress, stiffness, durability and damage tolerance requirements and weight and cost optimization. Strong experience with FEA is essential, as well as hand calculations. Experience in aircraft preliminary design and working on CS-23 certified or regional aircraft programs is a benefit.
Must have strong mechanical engineering experience and ability to work independently. Experience with complex components and assemblies is required. Experience with Aircraft and Automotive drivetrain systems is a plus. Knowledge of FAA, EASA, CAA regulatory structures, rules, and regulations is a plus.
Main Responsibilities:
Perform structural simulations and verification of powertrain equipment including test correlation. Apply knowledge of materials (metallics and composites), finishes, welding, and other manufacturing processes to best meet product requirements. Participate in design reviews. Work closely with engineers, manufacturing and testing personnel to ensure that all aspects of the design are understood. Serve as liaison with testing department for equipment qualification. Provide expertise to review subcontractor design deliverables of critical aircraft equipment. Experience and Qualifications:
Education: Bachelor's degree or higher in an appropriate discipline and commensurate depth of related technical experience.
Essential Requirements: High level of expertise in FE model creation and FE analysis. Expert in one or more types of analyses: linear-static analysis, dynamic analysis, non-linear analysis. Experience in ‘hand calculation' analytical sizing analysis using industry standard methods. Vibration and shock testing experience. Understanding of metallurgy, material models and failure modes. Verification experience of computational/analytical models. Comfortable working from first principles. Good knowledge of design for manufacture and assembly. Working knowledge of Nx or Solidworks. Tool and methodology development experience. Excellent level of spoken and written English (additional languages a plus). Excellent interpersonal skills, as well as good written and oral communication skills. Beneficial Requirements: Proficient in Siemens Simcenter/NX Nastran. DO160g testing experience. Proficiency in composite (FRP) design, sizing, and failure analysis including through FEA. Vibration and noise analysis experience. Experience in the creation of complex aerospace 3D CAD and mechanical engineering drawings. Knowledge of aerospace standards. Full product design life-cycle experience. Rig design and welding. Diversity and Inclusion: ZeroAvia is an equal opportunity employer and as a young company in the aviation industry, we value diversity and need people of different backgrounds that bring a plethora of skills, perspectives, and mindsets to the table that can spur originality, imagination, and creativity. We do not discriminate based on race, religion, colour, national origin, sex, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status or disability status.
