We are looking for a Lead Stress Engineer to join the flight structures team in the development of a space vehicle. This is a technical leadership position for the structural analysis, failure mode analysis and to support testing.
Key skills required for this role
stress, structural analysis, FEA Important
Stress analysis, structural analysis, composites, failure mode analysis The Position
Role and Responsibilities:
Perform, validate and document structural analysis using hand calculations and FEA for composite and metallic components and assemblies. Work with the design team to iterate concepts using appropriate sizing and optimisation methods to enable a 'design by analysis' approach. Working from high level requirements define analysis and test plans. Provide practical support to hardware development and testing as required.
Required Qualifications and Experience:
Educated to degree level or higher in an Aerospace/Mechanical engineering or equivalent. Demonstrable industry experience in the analysis of mass efficient structural parts for high performance applications typified by space, aerospace, defence and motorsport. Proficient in one or more industry standard FEA packages (preferably FEMAP, Nastran, Hypermesh, Optistruct). Ability to use CAD system with an emphasis on geometry preparation for analysis. Proactive and strong team player with excellent communication skills. Experience in Static Testing and Failure mode Analysis. Adaptable and able to work under pressure across multiple concurrent workstreams.
Desirable Qualifications and Experience:
Experience of composite structural analysis for space/aerospace applications including highly loaded mechanical and adhesively bonded joints. Working knowledge of linear, non-linear, thermo-elastic, buckling, modal, sinusoidal and random vibration analysis methodologies as applicable to aerospace applications. Experience designing and/or analysing COPVs or composite pressure structures. Experience in design, search and optimisation workflows for structural development. Familiarity with industry standards and references (e.g. MIL-HDBK-5/17, ECSS-E-HB-32, NASA-STD-5001, GSFC-STD-7000). Familiarity with standard aerospace structural methods such as ESDU, Bruhn, Nui etc. Experience in materials and structures test, characterisation and allowable development.
