Job Description

A new opportunity has arisen for a Stress Engineer to join the Additive Manufacturing team at a leading aerospace company in Bristol. The position is offering a salary of £30-35k.

ROLE PURPOSE / SCOPE
This is a role for a candidate with an in-depth knowledge and understanding of stress analysis and FEM, ideally for aerospace applications. Knowledgeable or at least keen to learn about various Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes, the Stress Engineer will be responsible for the creation of new Quality procedures for the analysis of both legacy and novel components built using AM. Responsible for the development of new analysis techniques for the production of AM parts, the successful candidate will work closely with a Materials Scientist and Design and Test Engineers, leading analysis and modelling activities.

RESPONSIBILITIES WILL INCLUDE
Analysing and qualifying aerospace parts designs for novel manufacturing processes
In-depth stress analysis of parts using specialist software
Structural optimisation of components
Creation of new Quality procedures for design and analysis
Regular technical meetings with other members of the project
Compilation of technical reports containing the findings of technical investigation
Presentation of results at all levels internal and external to the company

REQUIREMENTS
Degree-qualified (or equivalent) Stress Engineer
Aerospace experience not essential but would be an advantage - e.g. covering aero-structures and / or aero-engines
Proven track record in stress analysis
Demonstrated ability to use standard FEM tools, such as PATRAN/NASTRAN and / or similar
Methodical and logical approach to problem-solving
Experienced team-worker
Ability to communicate technical findings clearly to colleagues and collaborators

ADDITIONAL SKILLS
Knowledge of HyperMesh and particularly OptiStruct would be a definite advantage
Experience of research and development would be welcome

MAJOR END RESULTS
This is a key role for the production of new design methodologies in the application of novel AM production techniques to aerospace components. Success in this role will contribute to completely novel parts qualified for flight.
