Stress Engineer - Turboprop Engine
A sa senior structures and stress engineer, you will be the company’s go\-to expert and technical authority on these topics. Your expertise will be applied across all building blocks of the concept and all design teams. You will join the team at a critical stage of development: building a full\-scale demonstrator with flight testing. You will work closely with the CTO and all technical work package leads.
Your main responsibilities :
- Ensure the mechanical integrity and durability of all propulsive system components: fatigue life assessment, creep, corrosion and high\-temperature environment resistance, structural analysis (FEA)
- Support and guide design teams on material selection and usage:
- Select and qualify materials suited to the engine’s harsh environments (Inconel, titanium, Hastelloy, etc.), considering weight, cost and manufacturability constraints.
- Perform thermo mechanical analyses (thermal expansion, gradients, thermal cycling) and FEA simulations on critical components: heat exchangers, combustion chambers, nozzles, rotors.
- Address heat exchanger clogging issues and propose appropriate design and maintenance solutions
- Provide cross\-functional structural and materials expertise to all design teams, ensuring structural integrity and durability at every stage of development
- Write technical documents: structural calculation notes, FEA simulation reports, material specifications, test requirements, justification files, and contribute to patent filings
Profile sought
- Graduate of a top engineering school or holder of a Master’s/PhD in structural mechanics, materials science or mechanical engineering.
- Minimum 8 years of experience in structural analysis and materials selection in a demanding environment, ideally within a major industrial group: aerospace, space, energy or automotive.
- Strong command of finite element structural analysis (FEA) and thermo mechanical analyses (thermal expansion, thermal cycling, gradients).
- Expertise in high\-temperature material behavior: fatigue, creep, corrosion, oxidation —particularly on superalloys (Inconel, Hastelloy) and titanium alloys.
- Proven experience in material selection and qualification for harsh environments, andin overseeing characterization testing.
- Ability to operate cross\-functionally across multidisciplinary teams as the structures and materials authority.
- Rigor, analytical mindset and strong organizational skills
- Ability to work in a team and collaborate with diverse profiles
- Knowledge of/ sensitivity to aerospace requirements and standards
- Excellent written and oral communication skills in both French and English.
- A unique opportunity to join a fast\-growing startup at an early stage and contribute to high\-impact, innovative projects by developing responsible and sustainable technological solutions.
- Take part in building the Viraj Aero team and spirit from the ground up
- Work in a dynamic environment with rapid prototyping projects and regular interaction between R\&D, design, and testing teams.
- Opportunity to contribute to patents or technical publications and play a key role in the evolution of emerging technologies
- Be at the heart of breakthrough technological developments that will shape the future of aviation, with strong opportunities for professional growth and advancement.
