Are you a highly skilled Stress Engineer with a strong foundation in mechanical analysis, simulation, and problem-solving?
We’re supporting a major engineering project in the Aerospace & Defence sector, based in Huddersfield, and looking for a Stress Engineer to join the team on a permanent or contract basis. The role involves working with high-integrity mechanical systems such as gearboxes, power transmission components, and structural subassemblies.
Key Responsibilities:
Perform detailed stress and structural analysis using FEA tools (ideally ANSYS)
Support design teams with hand calculations and static load analysis
Investigate structural failures and conduct root cause analysis
Attend design reviews and present technical documentation
Work collaboratively across the product lifecycle – design, development, and customer support
Ensure compliance with quality standards and technical specificationsWhat You’ll Need:
Proficiency in FEA software (e.g., ANSYS, NASTRAN, HyperMesh)
Ability to perform hand calculations for stress and structural integrity
Experience with mechanical systems (ideally gears/gearboxes)
A degree in Mechanical, Structural, or Aerospace Engineering
Background in Aerospace, Defence, or Heavy Engineering
UK Citizenship (due to project security clearance requirements)This is an exciting opportunity for a Stress Engineer to work on cutting-edge systems in a technically challenging and rewarding environment.
