We’re more than aviation experts, we’re pioneers. We challenge what’s possible. From breaking the sound barrier to advanced tiltrotor systems. Today, Bell is shaping the future of aviation through specialized engineering. And we want you.
We are developing the future of Army Aviation with the Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA). We are also developing the Bell 525 Relentless, and Bells High-Speed Vertical Take-Off and Landing (HSVTOL) program, a next-generation stop-fold tiltrotor
Airframe Stress Analysis (across multiple levels)
Bell is seeking an Airframe Stress Analysis Engineer to join one of many development and production programs. The Airframe Stress Analysis Engineer at Bell is responsible for analyzing air vehicle structures for strength, stiffness, durability, and stability requirements while minimizing weight and maximizing performance of the aircraft. This position is based at Bell’s Ft. Worth, TX headquarters facility.
What you’ll be doing as an Airframe Stress Analysis Engineer:
- Perform detailed analyses to satisfy strength, stability, stiffness, fatigue, weight, manufacturing, and other requirements for advanced vertical lift composite and metallic structures using both classical and finite element methods.
- Coordinate closely with Airframe Design but also across multiple engineering, manufacturing, supplier, laboratory, flight test, and project management teams.
- Communicate status or issues to teammates, leadership, customers, or authorities at completion milestones during the effort.
- Set priorities, motivate yourself and others, and act decisively to achieve cost and schedule goals.
- Review detailed part or assembly definition prior to production release.
- Examine structural or material discrepancies and create associated inspection and repair procedures at production phase.
- Develop and author test plans, instrumentation requests, monitoring limits, and stress reports to ensure airworthiness.
