Senior Fatigue & Damage Tolerance Analysis Engineer

Evolito’s mission is to accelerate the adoption of electric propulsion in aerospace applications in support of a net‑zero world.

Key Responsibilities

• Carry out detailed fatigue and crack growth analysis using both first‑principles and industry recognised analysis/calculation methods.
• Analyse the life of rotating metallic (aluminium, steel and titanium) components consistent with Group A critical parts.
• Assess results against customer specifications and draw sound conclusions, including the generation of LCF, Damage Tolerance and Residual Fatigue.
• Determine fatigue allowable stress levels for sizing.
• Determine inspection intervals for structural parts consistent with CS25 requirements.
• Collaborate closely with Design, Test and Airworthiness teams to integrate F&DT solutions into the certification programmes.
• Author technical documentation to support regulatory submissions.
• Develop ideas and design solutions to practical challenges arising from new product design.
• Drive and manage test work that will validate the analysis.
• Support DFMEAs and other quality techniques and complete actions required to mitigate risks.
• Write specifications and reports as required through the product lifecycle, utilising a structured approach to problem‑solving techniques.

Qualifications and Experience

• Proven experience in evaluation of static and rotating components, specifically CS25 level lifing compliance with respect to LCF, Damage Tolerance and Residual Fatigue.
• Proven experience of Critical Parts lifing for LCF, Damage Tolerance and Residual Fatigue (deterministic and probabilistic).
• Calculation of equivalent (Seq) stresses (fatigue and crack propagation), understanding of mission profiles, rainflow counting, Miner's rule and F&DT databases.
• Analysis of metallic and composite structures (plain strength checks, buckling, bolted joint analysis).
• Knowledge of static and fatigue design values (Ftu, Fty, Fcy, AFI parameters, S‑N curve parameters, fracture toughness, etc.).
• Strong foundation in load/stress analysis with abilities to formulate free‑body diagrams and identify load paths of structures.
• Practical knowledge of electric machines or rotating assemblies.
• Strong experience with FEA methods and programs, e.g., ANSYS (ideally).
• Self‑sufficient and able to work with minimal managerial input.
• Good understanding of aerospace materials and associated mechanical properties and processing.
• Confidence dealing with customers and suppliers, able to interpret requirements and understand issues.
• Flexible approach to work with the desire to thrive in a dynamic, fast‑moving environment.
• Strong communication skills (written and verbal), good collaboration skills, and the ability to work effectively across teams.
• Self‑motivated with determination to succeed.

Desirable

• Experience in aerospace certification programmes.
• Experience with polymers‑creep evaluation.
