We work on a range of military and high-profile commercial aerospace programmes providing electrohydraulic components for flight control and engine control applications.
We have moved into a State-of-the-Art facility where we have direct access to the latest engineering design technologies such as: stress FEA and CFD analysis software with associated high-performance computing, prototype manufacture (3D printing and traditional manufacturing capability) and bespoke in-house development and environmental performance testing. The position supports the opportunity for training and development within these areas.
In this role, you'll be working on high pressure hydraulic components and with lightly damped mechanical assemblies where an appreciation of hydraulic performance and associated load conditions would be desirable. You will be supporting the growth of the analysis function within the Product Development team, this covers a broad range of engineering skill sets (Stress, CFD, Magnetic Modelling, Fluid Mechanics & Performance Modelling).
The nature of this role is extremely varied but with a bias towards stress analysis. This position will likely suit an individual who is keen to develop a range of problem-solving skills in the analytical fields of engineering and is prepared to turn their hand to new challenges.
Key Responsibilities & Essential Skills and Experience
Ability to perform stress analysis with classical calculation methods as well as Finite Element Analysis, make design recommendations, assess part non-conformances, support failure investigations, and produce analysis reports
