Description
Tasks
Mission and Principle Tasks:
Carry out static stress calculations on a range of tasks including:
Systems (Fuel, Electric, Pneumatics and Hydraulics)
Mechanisms (Slat/Flaps/Ailerons/Spoilers Including Bearings
Wing component transport spillages & Ground support equipment
Landing gear and engine pylon to wing interface components to access design solutions for a whole range of tasks ranging from concept design manufacturing concessions against Aircraft Design requirements.
Work as part of a team, often deployed to a multidisciplinary project that ensures structural integrity of a (major) sub assembly of a product.
Liaise with fatigue and damage tolerance analysts when required to ensure product structural integrity.
Liaise with other functions and projects to ensure all stress requirements 9including certification, strength, stiffness, durability, maintainability and reliability) are fully defined and integrated for any task undertaken.
When required, support and deputise for the team leader.
Assist in the Structural design process to help ensure optimised design quality.
Report critical technical issues up through functional management.
When instructed, support ongoing continuous improvement initiatives to increase team efficiency and capability through methods and process improvements.
Technically liaise with new participants, supply base and other sub-contract organisations and individuals.
Work experience
None
Your qualification
Minimum of 3 years working as an aircraft stress engineer involved in the static and fatigue analysis of metallic structures/systems using a broad range of standard hand and computer methods.
A minimum 3 years experience of finite element analysis.
CAD experience for interrogation (eg. Section properties, area etc) would be an advantage.
Familiarity with use of Pc's, including 'Spreadsheets' and Mathcad is an advantage.
Awareness of JAR/FAR requirements and their influence on design and stress considerations to achieve aircraft certification.
Awareness of Materials, process, Fatigue and Weights requirements with regard to the overall design.
The ability to assess structural problems under pressure and to provide the appropriate direction and guidance to team members.
The ability to develop and coach less experienced stress engineers.
A good understanding of aircraft production methods and processes, especially if gained through involvement in MRB or similar manufacturing support activities.
The ability to ensure that solutions are technically integrated across the whole project.
Team Leader with high regard for both internal and external; customers, whilst maintaining Aircraft integrity as the over-riding principle.
Aeronautical Engineering degree or equivalent.
Chartered Engineer or equivalent.
