Job Purpose
The Product Development Expert - Stress Analysis will be responsible for conducting stress analysis, communicating results, and advising on all aspects of structural engineering activities.
As a key member of the engineering department, you will be responsible for analyzing and assessing mechanical designs for strength, durability, performance, and safety against regulatory and customer requirements.
Main Responsibilities:
* Analyze and assess mechanical designs for strength, durability, performance, and safety using finite element techniques and classical hand calculations.
* Generate Finite Element Models and reports as per UK requirements.
* Support the selection of manufacturing technologies and materials based on a sound understanding of material physical and mechanical properties and the mechanical fit, form, and function of the product.
* Conduct structural and thermo-structural analyses of complex Products using Siemens NX.
* Advise/support on the development of mechanical structural designs to achieve the desired Product Requirements.
* Ensure compliance with all relevant legislative, regulatory, and contractual requirements (based on recognized military/civil standards).
* Point of contact for assigned projects, advising on all aspects of stress and structural dynamics throughout the product lifecycle.
Requirements:
* Application of a wide range of classical hand calculation techniques for static and dynamic loading conditions and fatigue assessment (Land, Naval or Airborne equipment).
* Experience of environmental test methods for design verification and working knowledge of design certification for land-based and airborne equipment.
* Proven experience in the use of Finite Element Analysis software tools (preferably Siemens NX/Nastran) and techniques.
