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 DOORS Candidates from a Stress Engineering or Simulation Engineering background are also encouraged to apply where they can demonstrate relevant dynamics and modelling experience.
