At Quest Global, we are actively hiring Senior Structural Analysis Engineer(Airframes) to join one of our Aerospace and Defence project team based in Preston (Warton), United Kingdom.
Aerospace structural engineers use advanced simulation techniques and testing to verify that aircraft structures can withstand operational loads and unexpected events. They perform stress analysis, fatigue testing, and non-destructive inspections to ensure the structural integrity and safety of aircraft components.
Roles & Responsibilities:
- Specialist understanding and experience in the use and interpretation of the computer based analytical techniques used by the department such asfinite element analysis,CAD modellingand engineering schematics.
- Liaisingwith design teams and other stakeholders throughout the design lifecycle to ensure coordination and functionality ofsystem designs, including supporting design reviews.
- Liaise with the client in building theAirframestructures project strategy and planning on competence basis, technically challenging where necessary
- Working alongside other engineering disciplines to deliver integrated solutions, gathering evidence to demonstrate compliance of these solutions with safety, function, and performance requirements.
- Advise and monitor thetechnicalleads and managers to implement the structure strategy step by step.
- Technicalspecification preparation and management of requirements, acceptance,verification,and validation of requirements
- Implementation ofModel based designand definition approach & Model based system engineering.
- End to end lifecycle development & testing - Design, Analysis and Optimisation phases.
- Authoring and reviewing design and analysis reports.
TechnicalSkills:
The candidate is expected to have a good knowledge of Aircraft Primary Structures and Systems, AdvanceCADStructural Analysis,Finite Element Analysis(FEA),Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) and Optimisation, Safety & Certification, (NASTRAN, PATRAN, ANSYS).
The candidate possess the following skills are added value:
- Aircraft structural design usingModel Based Design(MBD)CADtechniques andautomationapproach.
- Structural analysisthroughFinite Element Analysis(FEA) advanced techniques
- Static Linear and Non-linear, Dynamic analysis, Failure mode, Strength and Durability assessments.
- Extracting aerodynamic external & internal loads, flight unit load combinations, fatigue loads & spectrum.
- Designing structures by calculation to ensure they meet the required load cases and safety factors.
- Fatigue &Damage Tolerance Analysis, Crack growth and propagation assessment.
- Proficient in hand calculationsusing classicstress analysis techniquesto meet certification and sizing.
- Methods &Process developmentrespect to the latest digital thread and digital twin aspects.
- Detailed knowledge and experience in systems engineering and engineering specificationcomposition.
- Preparation of Calculations, CDM activities, Basis of Design, Material Specifications, Scopes of Work.
DISCLAIMER: Due to the nature of work / project, candidates must be UK citizen / Passport holder in UK. Must be eligible to pass UK SC (Security Clearance).
