Job Description
Stress Engineer - Stress & Structural Analysis
Location: Boscombe Down
Contract length: 12 months
Pay rate: £60 - £80 p/h - inside IR35 and via Umbrella
SC Clearance/ eligibility is required for this position
Joining a team that's right at the heart of aircraft modification and trials, this is a chance to help turn complex structural challenges into certifiable, customer-ready designs. Our client supports growth across both military and civil programmes-so there's real momentum, and your expertise will genuinely matter.
What you'll be doing:
* Deliver technical assessments for flight trials, product development, research activities and other projects
* Perform static strength, vibration, fatigue & damage tolerance analysis for airframe modifications and installations
* Use classical hand calculations and Finite Element Analysis to verify designs against regulatory expectations
* Devise and conduct structural tests (e.g. static strength and modal testing) to demonstrate compliance or validate analyses
* Produce formal calculations and supporting documentation with clear traceability to source data
* Support aircraft surveys and tests through Stress Office and AEC processes to certify designs to regulatory specifications
* Check calculations and drawings, contribute to design reviews, and present findings and recommendations
* Mentor junior engineers and help improve methods and team processes
What you'll bring:
* Strong experience working on aerospace products and/or aircraft modifications
* Expertise in stress/structural analysis for primary and secondary structures, using both hand calculations and FEM
* Confident use of FEM tools such as FEMAP/NX Nastran, Hyperworks, and Abaqus
* Experience with fatigue & damage tolerance analysis, including both metallic and composite structures
* Ability to document high-quality stress calculations and reports using tools such as MathCad / PTC Prime, Microsoft Word and Excel
* A bachelor's degree in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering
Additional information:
* Experience as a Compliance Verification Engineer (CVE) for a CAA/EASA 21J and/or MAA DAOS organisation is desirable but not essential
* Knowledge of Defence Standard 00-970 is desirable
* Opportunities to work across other domains may arise, including review of structures documents and weapons R&D
If you're motivated by technical depth, collaborative engineering and making sure designs stand up to real-world scrutiny, we'd love to hear from you. Apply now to discuss your next Stress Engineering opportunity in Wiltshire.
