We are partnering with a confidential aerospace innovator at the forefront of next-generation aircraft development to appoint a Senior Stress Certification Engineer with a focus on composite materials
This position offers the opportunity to play a pivotal role in shaping the certification strategy for a cutting-edge, clean-sheet aircraft programme within the advanced air mobility space.
This is not a traditional hands-on stress analysis position. Instead, the role is designed for a senior technical authority who can provide leadership across composite structures, certification strategy, and structural substantiation.
You will guide and influence engineering and certification teams, ensuring robust compliance approaches and supporting certification activities from concept through to approval.

- 5+ years’ experience in aircraft certification activities within EASA/FAA regulatory frameworks
- Strong expertise in composite structural behaviour, including failure modes and substantiation methods
- Proven experience supporting certification programmes (e.g. Part 23, Part 25, CS-23, SC-VTOL or equivalent)
- Solid background in Fatigue & Damage Tolerance (F&DT) and static analysis principles
Key Responsibilities
- Provide technical leadership across composite structures and certification strategy
- Support airframe design and construction activities from a certification standpoint
- Define and oversee structural substantiation methodologies
- Guide static analysis and Fatigue & Damage Tolerance (F&DT) activities
- Lead input into certification planning and compliance execution
- Collaborate closely with senior engineering, airworthiness, and programme leadership
