Job Description
Your mail role will be to execute an integrated engineering response that supports customers and stakeholders by delivering effective solutions to product modification proposals through the use of analysis, design testing, configuration control and problem solving.
Your main duties will involve:
To develop technical solutions which are compliant with all relevant requirements, within agreed programs, timescales and manufacturing constraints.
To ensure design compliance by applying classical methods of analysis in accordance with the clients internal policies, procedures and work instructions.
To work in co-operation with other functional areas of the company to achieve local and overall business objectives.
To provide solutions to meet airworthiness standards and design approvals
To provide concession support to existing and future production platforms
Experience in metallic and/or composite aero structures
Experience in Damage, Fatigue & Tolerance (FD&T) based theories and activities.
To develop design test plans and processes in conjunction with customer, client and industry requirements in order to ensure the acceptability of both materials and finished product
To assist Chief Engineers in delivering projects from concept through to production.
To identify and implement Lean initiatives and to encourage a culture of Continuous Improvement within the Engineering function.
Person Specification - Key:
- Knowledge and experience in the design, development and qualification of airframes and vehicle systems, including:
- Good knowledge of airframe static stress analysis techniques including hand calculation methods (including the use of Mathcad), finite element techniques (especially Nastran and Patran), derivation of material and component allowables (including the use of statistical techniques);
- Good knowledge of airframe fatigue substantiation including safe life and fracture mechanics techniques;
- A good knowledge of the overall static structural substantiation process from definition of external loads through airframe finite element analysis to final check stress clearance;
- A knowledge of the overall fatigue substantiation process from the derivation of component mean and working strengths, flight data gathering of fatigue loads, through fatigue life calculation methods to in-service aircraft monitoring;
- A knowledge of the relevant airworthiness requirements related to airframes
