Job Description
The Lead Stress Analysis Engineer – Composite Materials will support the design, development, and certification of target drone platforms. The role focuses on the structural analysis of composite airframes, ensuring strength, stiffness, durability, and aeroelastic performance under demanding operational and environmental conditions.
The ideal candidate will possess strong fundamentals in composite mechanics, finite element analysis (FEA), and aerospace load cases, along with hands-on experience supporting lightweight UAV or aircraft structures from concept development through flight testing and production support.
Location: Khordha, Odisha
Key Responsibilities
Perform linear and nonlinear static stress analysis of composite structures.
Conduct buckling analysis of composite panels, spars, ribs, and stiffened structures.
Perform fatigue and durability analysis and apply appropriate composite failure criteria.
Conduct modal analysis to determine natural frequencies, mode shapes, and modal participation factors.
Support vibration, resonance, and structural dynamic assessments for flight loads, payload-induced excitations, launch, recovery, and transportation conditions.
Contribute to flutter margin assessments and stiffness tailoring of composite structures.
Collaborate with aerodynamics, propulsion, and systems engineering teams to ensure structural integrity and performance.
Prepare technical reports and documentation for PDR, CDR, and TRR reviews.
Ensure compliance with aerospace industry standards, including DGCA, DGAQA, and MIL requirements.
Mentor junior engineers and contribute to the continuous improvement of analysis methodologies and processes.
Required Skills & Competencies
Expertise in mechanics of composite materials, Classical Laminate Theory (CLT), strength of materials, structural dynamics, and vibration.
Proficiency in FEA tools such as ANSYS, NASTRAN, and HyperMesh.
Experience with CAD platforms including CATIA, NX, and SolidWorks.
Knowledge of dynamic analysis tools, modal solvers, and frequency response analysis.
Experience interpreting mode shapes, frequency shifts, and buckling eigenvalues.
Strong understanding of load paths and stiffness-driven design principles.
Experience
Minimum 10+ years of experience in stress analysis and structural analysis within the aircraft or drone industry.
Proven experience working on high-speed target drones and ISR platforms is preferred.
Experience in composite airframe analysis, certification support, and aerospace structural validation is highly desirable.
Educational Qualification
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related discipline.
