Airbus Helicopters masters the complete helicopter value chain, from design and development, to industrialisation, production and support and services. It aims to ensure safety, quality, competitiveness and mission availability.
AHE) integrates the Rotorcraft activities in Spain being a tractor company of other Spanish entities that participate in the Rotatory wing Aircraft Industry.
EBSTIF perform Design and Stress activities participating in all the phases of the product, from specification to customer in-service support: conceptual and detail design, support to production (non-conformity assessment, generation of documentation needed for manufacturing, etc.), support to testing activities, generation of evidences for certification/qualification purposes and costumer support.
We are seeking a Structural Simulation Engineer to join our dynamic team to perform advanced Research & Technology (R&T) activities participating in the conceptual phases of product and technology development.
In this role, you will bridge the gap between advanced structural mechanics and data science, developing next-generation methodologies for composite, metallic, and thermoplastic structures. You will perform highly specialized FEA/FEM simulation activities and lead the digital transformation of our structural department by implementing Python programming to automate, accelerate, and simplify calculation methods.
*A real affinity for digital topics and a hands-on approach to advanced simulation and coding toolsets.

  • Strong programming and automation skills (Python).
  • Ability to work with open-ended problems and undefined requirements typical of early-stage research.
  • As a Structural Simulation Engineer you will develop the challenging tasks and activities:*
  • *High-Velocity Dynamics & Impact Analysis:* Lead highly specialized simulation tasks including ballistic impact, bird strike analysis, and transient dynamic events using RADIOSS.
  • *Vibrations Analysis:* Conduct advanced dynamic analysis, including modal, harmonic, and random vibration simulations (frequency response analysis) to ensure structural integrity under dynamic environments using OptiStruct / RADIOSS.
  • *Test-to-Analysis Correlation:* Design and execute model correlation workflows to match FEM simulation results with physical test data (e.G., coupon tests, vibration tests, impact tests), updating and validating the FE models for certification.
  • *Damage Tolerance & Materials:* Conduct structural analysis for crack growth propagation in both composite and metallic structures, as well as simulation of specialized joints, specifically thermoplastic welded joints.
  • *Process Automation & Software Best Practices:* Develop, optimize, and maintain automated workflows, pre/post-processing scripts, and analytical calculation tools using Python.
  • *Cross-functional Collaboration:* Contribute actively in close collaboration with all involved stakeholders (design, testing, manufacturing engineering, and quality) to ensure structural compliance and certification readiness.
  • Identify and support local improvement initiatives to increase team efficiency through process, methods and tools improvements.

*Qualified experience and training:*

  • *Education:* Master's degree in Aeronautical, Aerospace, Mechanical, or Industrial Engineer (or similar discipline with a strong focus on structural mechanics and computational methods).
  • *Minimum 5-8 years of proven experience in advanced structural simulation (FEM) using Altair HyperWorks, with strong demonstrated experience in Python development
  • *Experience in test data processing and comparison with FEA models.

Experience in AI & Machine Learning Integration would be a plus: Implementation of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning methodologies (such as Surrogate Models / Metamodels or Physics-Informed Neural Networks) to automate complex calculation methods, simplify repetitive tasks, and optimize structural designs via OptiStruct.
* *Languages:* Advanced level of English Language.
