Aero Structures Design Engineers - Bristol UK, Hybrid Contract.
Our Aerospace client based in Bristol, UK, requires several Design Engineers on a contractor basis, to further support their programs. A hybrid working model of 3 days onsite per week and 2 days working from home is accepted.
The Design Engineers will develop, integrate and implement technical solutions for high-profile programmes of work. The Design Engineers will help to ensure designs are compliant with all relevant customer, regulatory, and airworthiness requirements and internal standards within the programme, schedule, and manufacturing constraints.
They will have a shared responsibility in the design of structural aircraft and helicopter components, identifying technical problems and creating technical solutions. The design engineer will be working with both metal and composite structures and different assembly techniques. The design engineer will be part of a multidisciplinary team together with analysis engineers, manufacturing engineers, cost engineers and tooling engineers.
Working in all phases of a programme, starting with the conceptual phase, the full-scale phase in which the detailed design is translated into product drawings/ models, up to the product maturation phase assisting with problems during manufacturing and proposing changes to the detailed design in order to contribute to weight and cost savings.
They will work on the integration of all requirements and input from other engineering disciplines into the conceptual and detailed design, such that the product definition can be made and a cost-efficient and producible design is achieved.
Use a variety of methods and tools, for example CAD (experience using CATIA V5 and preferably NX / 3DX) and PLM (Windchill, 3DX) software.
Experience in designing composite structures is preferred, including CAD tools like CPD and/or FiberSim.
Design tools:
CATIA V5
3DX & NX
PLM (Windchill, 3DX) software
CPD and/or FiberSimCandidates are advised that a close level of team working is required as well as 3 days per week onsite. These roles are offered under an inside IR35 basis paid PAYE through Strongfield Consultants
