Position Available: Principal Stress Engineer
Location: Hertfordshire
Salary: £50,000 - £60,000 (DoE) + Benefits
Experience needed: We're looking for senior-level structural analysts with a proven track record in delivering complex mechanical analysis packages. You'll be confident in both classical hand calculations and CAE tools, and capable of guiding design solutions across multi-disciplinary engineering teams.
About the role:
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Principal Stress Engineer to lead structural and thermal analysis activities on a next-generation complex defence system. This role is vital to ensuring the integrity and performance of mechanical solutions, from early-stage concept through to in-service support.
Working collaboratively with mechanical, systems, and design engineers, you'll lead structural design validation, using a broad range of techniques from static and dynamic stress analysis to impact modelling and fatigue assessments.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Plan, estimate, and deliver mechanical analysis work packages throughout the product life cycle
2. Perform structural assessments using classical hand calculations and CAE tools (Hyperworks highly desirable)
3. Interpret results to influence design decisions and verify mechanical performance
4. Lead or contribute to techn...
