Montreal, Canada ALTITUDE AEROSPACE Full time

Direct message the job poster from ALTITUDE AEROSPACE Recruiter, Talents Acquisition - #hiring in Aerospace CONTRACT OR PERMANENT Stress Engineer – Mechanisms The Stress Engineer – Mechanisms will be responsible for the analysis and structural substantiation of aircraft mechanical systems and moving structures . This role focuses on mechanisms such as aircraft doors, latching systems, actuation systems, and other movable assemblies (e.g., flaps, geared mechanisms). The engineer will work within an Integrated Product Development Team (IPDT) , providing technical leadership and guidance related to mechanisms and systems. This position requires hands‑on experience in deriving static and operational loads, developing DFEM-based analyses, and supporting system-level requirements and test activities in a fast-paced aerospace development environment. Key Responsibilities Perform stress analysis of aircraft mechanisms and moving systems, including doors, latches, hinges, gears, flaps, and actuation components. Derive static and operational loads for mechanical systems, including normal, abnormal, and failure-case operating scenarios. Develop and execute detailed hand calculations and finite element models (DFEMs) to support stress, stiffness, and load‑path evaluation of mechanism components and assemblies. Define and review structural and system-level requirements related to mechanisms, ensuring alignment with certification, safety, and performance objectives. Contribute to the development, review, and validation of test plans for systems and mechanisms, including structural tests, functional tests, and durability demonstrations. Define requirements and provide technical guidance for actuation and assist systems, including: Hydraulic and electric actuators Dampers and gas springs Bore sizes, force margins, stroke lengths, and damping curves Provide stress and structural guidance within the IPDT, ensuring robust integration between structures, systems, and design disciplines. Support certification compliance activities through analysis documentation, requirements verification, and test support. Qualifications Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field. 3–5+ years of experience in stress analysis of aircraft mechanical systems or moving structures. Demonstrated experience with aircraft doors or comparable movable systems (e.g., flaps, landing gear components, geared mechanisms). Proven ability to derive and justify static and operational loads in complex mechanical systems. Experience developing and using detailed finite element models (DFEMs) for structural analysis. Experience writing and reviewing system requirements and test plans within a regulated aerospace environment. Proficiency with CATIA / 3DX for geometry review and design interaction. Knowledge of the kinematic workbenches is an asset. Strong understanding of aerospace certification-driven development processes and documentation. Knowledge of FAR/CS 25.783 (Doors, exits, and emergency means), considered a significant advantage.
