Job Description:

Airbus Helicopters a division of Airbus is a global leader in the civil and military rotorcraft market.

Its mission is to provide civil and military helicopter solutions to its customers who serve and protect citizens save lives and safely carry passengers in highly demanding environments.

Airbus Helicopters masters the complete helicopter value chain from design and development to industrialisation production and support and services. It aims to ensure safety quality competitiveness and mission availability.

Airbus Helicopters España S.A. (AHE) integrates the Rotorcraft activities in Spain being a tractor company of other Spanish entities that participate in the Rotatory wing Aircraft Industry.

EBSTIF perform Design and Stress activities participating in all the phases of the product from specification to customer in-service support: conceptual and detail design support to production (non-conformity assessment generation of documentation needed for manufacturing etc.) support to testing activities generation of evidences for certification/qualification purposes and costumer support.

We are seeking aStructuralSimulation Engineerto join our dynamic team toperform advanced Research & Technology (R&T) activities participating in the conceptual phases of product and technology development.

In this role you will bridge the gap between advancedstructuralmechanics and data science developing next-generation methodologies for composite metallic and thermoplastic will perform highly specialized FEA/FEMsimulationactivities and lead the digital transformation of ourstructuraldepartment by implementing Python programming to automate accelerate and simplify calculation methods.

The ideal candidate will have the following skills and aptitudes:

• An innovative mindset and a natural curiosity about new technology

• The ability to challenge and improve traditional stress andstructuralcalculation processesand propose disruptive solutions.

• A real affinity for digital topics and a hands-on approach to advancedsimulationand coding toolsets.

• Deep understandingof advancedstructuralmechanicsnon-linearstructuralbehavior vibrations/dynamics and failure modes.

• Expertise in high-velocity dynamics impact physics and damage tolerance.

• Strong programming and automation skills (Python).

• High tolerance for ambiguity: Ability to work with open-ended problems and undefined requirements typical of early-stage research.

• Proactive in identifying emerging industry trends (AI advanced materials)

• Very good communication and presentation skills to lead discussions on issuessimulationresults innovative ideas and status of work.

• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment with changing priorities and requirements.

• Rigor analytical thinking and high organization skills.

As aStructuralSimulationEngineeryou will develop the challenging tasks and activities:

• Advanced FEASimulation:Perform complex linear non-linear (material geometric and contact) and dynamicstructuralsimulations utilizing theAltair HyperWorkssuite (HyperMesh HyperCrash HyperGraph).

• High-Velocity Dynamics & Impact Analysis:Lead highly specializedsimulationtasks including ballistic impact bird strike analysis and transient dynamic events using RADIOSS.

• Vibrations Analysis:Conduct advanced dynamic analysis including modal harmonic and random vibration simulations (frequency response analysis) to ensurestructuralintegrity under dynamic environments using OptiStruct / RADIOSS.

• Test-to-Analysis Correlation:Design and execute model correlation workflows to match FEMsimulationresults with physical test data (e.g. coupon tests vibration tests impact tests) updating and validating the FE models for certification.

• Damage Tolerance & Materials:Conductstructuralanalysis for crack growth propagation in both composite and metallic structures as well assimulationof specialized joints specifically thermoplastic welded joints.

• Process Automation & Software Best Practices:Develop optimize and maintain automated workflows pre/post-processing scripts and analytical calculation tools using Python.

• Cross-functional Collaboration:Contribute actively in close collaboration with all involved stakeholders (design testing manufacturing engineering and quality) to ensurestructuralcompliance and certification readiness.

• Identify and support local improvement initiatives to increase team efficiency through process methods and tools improvements.

Qualified experience and training:

• Education:Masters degree in Aeronautical Aerospace Mechanical or IndustrialEngineer(or similar discipline with a strong focus onstructuralmechanics and computational methods).

• Experience level:Minimum 58 years of proven experience in advancedstructuralsimulation(FEM) using Altair HyperWorks with strong demonstrated experience in Python development

• Desirable:

Experience in test data processing and comparison with FEA models.

Experience in AI & Machine Learning Integration would be a plus:Implementation of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning methodologies (such as Surrogate Models / Metamodels or Physics-Informed Neural Networks) to automate complex calculation methods simplify repetitive tasks and optimizestructuraldesigns via OptiStruct.

• Languages:Advanced level of English Language.

This job requires an awareness of any potential compliance risks and a commitment to act with integrity as the foundation for the Companys success reputation and sustainable growth.
