航空宇宙エンジニアリングチームのシニアメンバーとして、eVTOL航空機の構造解析を担当します。CFRPや金属構造の詳細解析、静的・動的・振動・熱荷重下での応力・ひずみ・変形評価、EASA/FAA認証に必要な文書作成、当局監査への技術的貢献、チーム内の技術指導などを行います。

Responsibilities

  • Methodology and Execution: Plan and execute structural analysis and testing strategies in accordance with structural assurance requirements (e.g., Building Block Approach) for eVTOL certification.
  • Technical Excellence: Lead detailed structural analyses of complex eVTOL components (CFRP and metallic), ensuring full compliance with strength, stiffness, fatigue, damage tolerance, and impact resistance requirements.
  • Advanced Analysis: Evaluate complex stress, strain, and deformation characteristics under static, dynamic, vibratory, and thermal loads.
  • Certification Documentation: Develop and maintain critical documentation required for certification (e.g., EASA/FAA), including stress reports, test plans, and compliance matrices, acting as a key technical contributor during authority audits.
  • Peer Mentoring: Act as a technical reference within the team, providing guidance, peer review support, and mentoring to less experienced engineers to promote best engineering practices.

Requirements

  • Extensive experience (over 5 years) in structural analysis in the aerospace industry (preferably with composite aircraft, helicopters, or eVTOL programs).
  • Solid experience in calculation, analysis, and reporting on complex metal and CFRP composite structures.
  • Advanced proficiency in Nastran (for linear/non-linear static and dynamic analysis) and LS-DYNA (for explicit dynamics/impact resistance).
  • Deep knowledge of mechanics of materials, classical manual calculations, composite failure criteria, and fatigue/damage tolerance (DTA) principles.
  • Proven ability to independently conduct technical projects and foster a collaborative environment.

Nice to have

  • Deep understanding of specific certification frameworks (e.g., EASA SC-VTOL, FAA Part 23/27) and guidelines for composites (e.g., CMH-17, AC 20-107B).
  • Experience in structural requirements analysis and development of comprehensive structural certification and testing plans.
  • Experience in planning structural modifications and root cause analysis for failures or nonconformities in tests.
  • Extensive knowledge of aeronautical engineering in general, enabling effective interdepartmental collaboration (aerodynamics, systems, testing).

Benefits

  • 115 days off per year Saturday / Sundays / New year holidays(12/29~1/3) / Company designated holidays)
  • Annual paid leave
  • Refresh leave (Granted after 1, 3, 4, 5 years of service)
  • Estimated Annual Salary: JPY 6,850,000- JPY 13,000,000
  • Monthly Salary: JPY 571,000 - JPY 1,084,000
  • Includes fixed overtime pay for 45 hours, amounting to JPY 197,680 - JPY 375,239
  • *Additional overtime pay will be provided for hours exceeding the fixed overtime.
  • Commuting allowance, business trip allowance, moving allowance, etc.
  • Relocation Packages
  • Health insurance
  • Employee pension (according to Japan standards)
  • Employment insurance
  • Worker’s accident compensation insurance
