THE ROLE
Serve as an onsite Liaison Stress Engineer supporting active aircraft maintenance and repair programs in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. You will bridge the gap between the shop floor and engineering, analyzing structural repairs, performing stress assessments, and coordinating directly with the MRB team on the aircraft. This is a hands-on liaison role on a team of 10 to 12 engineers where your technical judgment and communication skills drive real-time disposition decisions.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Perform stress analysis on structural repairs, including damage assessment and repair substantiation.
Evaluate repair schemes against OEM structural repair manuals (SRMs) and applicable regulatory requirements.
Conduct analytical assessments using hand calculations and FEM tools to validate repair integrity.
Review and disposition non-conformances and engineering discrepancies found during maintenance inspections.

Liaison & Coordinate

Serve as the engineering point of contact between design, stress, manufacturing, and quality teams to communicate and implement repair dispositions.
Work directly with the MRB team on the aircraft to assess damage and develop repair solutions in real time.
Communicate repair recommendations clearly to maintenance crews, inspectors, and program management.
Coordinate with OEM engineering and certification authorities as needed for non-standard repairs.
Document all analysis, findings, and repair dispositions with thorough engineering substantiation.

Impact: Your analysis and coordination directly determine whether aircraft return to service safely and on schedule. You are the engineering voice on the floor making real-time structural decisions.
