Our client, a prominent player in the aerospace sector, is seeking a dedicated Stress Engineer to join their team in Fareham. This permanent, full-time position plays a key role in ensuring the structural integrity, durability, and safety of UAV systems, providing support through thorough analysis and collaboration across various teams. Key Responsibilities: Structural Analysis Perform hand calculations, finite element analysis (FEA), and other methods to evaluate the strength, stiffness, and fatigue life of structures and mechanisms. Assess composite, metallic, and hybrid structures for lightweight and durable design solutions. Support certification activities by generating stress reports, compliance documents, and supporting evidence. Vibration & Modal Analysis Conduct modal analyses to predict natural frequencies, mode shapes, and dynamic responses of airframes and subsystems. Perform vibration analyses (harmonic, random, and transient) to assess the impact of propulsion, aerodynamic loads, and operational environments. Define vibration test requirements and correlate analytical results with ground and flight test data. Support the mitigation of vibration-related issues such as resonance, fatigue, and component reliability. Integration & Collaboration Work closely with mechanical design engineers to optimize structures for weight, manufacturability, and performance. Collaborate with the Test and Flight Evaluation teams to define ...
