*** Aircraft Structural Analysis Engineer - R&T ESS (Remote working, Outside IR35)***

Would you like to join a global aerospace organisation and work with cutting edge technology where you will play a key role in bringing innovative electric aircraft to life?


Due to a drive for greater success, this advanced manufacturing business is currently searching for an Aircraft Structural Analysis Engineer - R&T ESS to add to their talented, hardworking team on a fully remote working, 6 month contract, outside IR35. Striving for innovation and creativity you can ensure no two days will be the same.

This is a phenomenal opportunity to not only work for a prestigious, advanced organisation, but to gain skills and knowledge you will not find anywhere else.

The Role


As an Aircraft Structural Analysis Engineer - R&T ESS, you will be responsible for:

  • Agile and fast iterating concept evaluation and design improvements based on topology optimization and structural analysis.
  • Optimization, pre-sizing, stress and crash and impact analysis of aircraft structural components and their interfaces related to the energy storage system, i.e. battery casings, support structures, airframe integration, etc.
  • Create, manage, adjust, and validate detailed FE models of sub-components and complete energy storage system structures and their installations, with support for the full workflow of numerical modelling, solving and post-processing.
  • Model correlation with static and dynamic test data to drive analysis-based concept decisions and design optimizations
  • Define and develop modelling methods, tools and optimization techniques to support an efficient product pre-/development.
  • Support for all structural analysis methods, tools relevant to new technologies as well as their development.

You

To succeed within the role of an Analysis Engineer - Propulsion, you will have the following skills:

  • Bachelor/ Master degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or related field is required.
  • 5+ years of experience in topology optimization, structural analysis and crash and impact analysis with application to aircraft structures, automotive structures and in the best case to energy storage related structures.
  • Strong experience with lightweight design principles of composite materials, metals, adhesives, non-structural materials, and their structural behaviour.
  • In-depth understanding of the loading scenarios and mechanical behaviour of aircraft structures, particularly complex multipart assemblies
  • Excellent knowledge of topology optimization, stress, fatigue, structural dynamics, crash and impact analysis methods following established standards.
  • Extensive working experience with commercial implicit tools (knowledge of OptiStruct, Nastran and their corresponding pre/post-processors is of preference) is a must, and with explicit FE codes (i.e. LS-DYNA, Radioss) is beneficial.
  • Experienced with the agile concept and fast iterative pre-design phase of the R&T process
  • Working experienced with CAD software (i.e NX, CATIA) is beneficial

Background

This is an exciting opportunity to work for a global business that has developed a strategy of working closely with its contingent workforce. Within the role, you can expect to:

  • Improve work-life balance
  • Be appreciated and valued
  • Increase earning potential
