Job Requirement

Stress experience on aero gas turbine and/or naval marine shipsets is preferred

Principal Responsibilities/Accountabilities

• Delivering design solutions by carrying out structural & thermal analysis of aero engine and/or naval marine gas turbine components
• Linear/Non-linear stress analysis of rotating/static components.
• Ensure stress reports meet the appropriate levels of quality and robustness and confirm that defined requirements are met
• Ensure that all project stakeholders have the right information at the right time, through pro-active communication
• Support other team members with ongoing/future work packages

Baseline Responsibilities

• Technical support and execution for all stress/lifing activities such as:
• Application of Vibration (Campbell Diagram) analysis, creep analysis
• Application of Low cycle fatigue (LCF), High cycle fatigue (HCF), creep, corrosion, erosion and crack propagation assessment of rotating machinery
• Damage and Tolerance/Melt anomaly methods
• Support thermo-mechanical solutions
• Contribute to development of best practices and productivity improvements

Work Experience

EXPERIENCE, KNOWLEDGE, QUALIFICATIONS (ESSENTIAL TO CARRY OUT THIS ROLE)

Experience

Applicants should have a proven background in gas turbines, aero or naval marine applications at component level. Experience with OEM bespoke stress analysis software would be a major advantage.

• Quickly understand problems, set priorities
• Actively lead various tasks and issues while continuously working towards improvements
• Drive technical delivery, through adherence to a number of key processes (safety, concessions, lifing, etc.)
• Understand complex system interactions
• Interpret technical analysis, draw out key issues and present to project for review.
• Develop technical solutions, compliant with requirements, and make technical recommendations
• Develop solutions, based on experience, in new product designs

Knowledge

• Demonstrate a good understanding of all aspects of aero engine or naval marine components
• Understand the Safety Process for in-service engines
• Understand the behaviour and limitations of aerospace materials
• Understand component lifing strategies and limitations
• Knowledge on system behaviour under impact loading
• Knowledge of composite failure & analysis methods

Tool Knowledge

Experience of one or more of these is essential: ANSYS, PLM, UG NX, LS-Dyna, ICEM Meshing, ABAQUS, HYPERWORKS, SCO3

Desirable: NASTRAN, PATRAN, Simcenter

Qualifications

Masters degree in Engineering (e.g. Aeronautical, Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering) or equivalent experience in a gas turbine OEM

DISCLAIMER:

Due to the nature of work candidates should be UK citizen/ EU Citizen/ Eligible to Security Clearance.
