Stress Engineer

We are currently recruiting for a Performance & Dynamics Engineer/Stress Engineer to join a major engineering programme within a highly technical Systems Engineering environment.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced engineer with a background in performance analysis, dynamics, simulation, stress or systems engineering to work on complex mechanical and hydraulic systems within the aerospace sector.

The Role

You will be responsible for delivering performance and dynamic analysis across integrated mechanical and hydraulic systems, with particular focus on areas such as aircraft landing gear, shock absorption, extension/retraction and steering systems.

Key responsibilities will include:

Building computational models and running simulations
Calculating static and dynamic loads
Conducting performance and frequency response analysis
Performing stability, shimmy, modal and failure-case analysis
Correlating and validating computational models
Developing and validating performance and dynamics requirements
Defining simulation cases and pass/fail criteria
Supporting design optimisation alongside other engineering disciplines
Defining test requirements and analysing test results
Supporting programme delivery against agreed schedules

Essential Experience

We are particularly interested in engineers with experience in:

Multi-body dynamic modelling and simulation
Landing gear extension/retraction analysis
Shock absorber performance analysis
Recoil analysis
Shimmy and stability analysis
System loads generation
Model integration
MATLAB/Simulink
MSC ADAMS
MSC EASY5
AMESim

Desirable Experience

The following would also be advantageous:

Nose-wheel steering analysis
Vibration analysis
Electrical systems engineering
Airworthiness requirements
Aircraft systems certification
Requirements management
DOORSCandidates from a Stress Engineering or Simulation Engineering background are also encouraged to apply where they can demonstrate relevant dynamics and modelling experience
