Junior Stress Engineer

My client, a composite company based in Chippenham are currently looking for a Junior Stress Engineer to join their growing team on a permanent basis.

Role and Responsibilities:

• Produce structural analysis on composite and lightweight structures (Linear Static Analysis, Modal Analysis, Thermal Analysis and Nonlinear Analysis).
• Produce hand calculations based on industry standards.
• Work closely with the design and structural analysis team and report results (in the form of stress reports and presentations).
• Contribute to the continuous development of structural analysis methods and techniques.

Requirements:

• Willing to learn and able to respond quickly to different tasks.
• Able to work as a team and comfortable with a "failing fast" mindset to pursue rapid knowledge capture.
• Able to keep things simple and remove complexity not only on a structural analysis level but also while communicating and presenting information.
• Previous experience is a bonus but not a must.
• Engineering degree in relevant area (Mechanical, Automotive, Aerospace, etc.) and a good understanding of Structural Analysis methods and FEA techniques (meshing, behaviour of materials, contact definitions, loads, boundary conditions, etc.).
• Knowledge of FEA software is desired. My client uses the Altair suite of products (Hyperworks as the preprocessing tool and OptiStruct and Radioss as the implicit and explicit solvers) but experience in using this particular software is by no means a requirement. Experience in Ansys, Abaqus, LS-Dyna, Comsol, Nastran, etc. will be considered.
• Knowledge of composite materials and their application in automotive and aerospace structures is desired but by no means a requirement.
• Knowledge of scripting languages (TCL, Python, etc.) is a plus.

What we offer:

• A high-paced and dynamic team that will help the candidate gaining experience and entering in the industry while developing high-end composite products.
• Constant support from the structural analysis team.
• The opportunity of being involved in some of the most exciting projects in the composites industry.
• Training in the Altair suite of products that will help the candidate get up-to-speed with the software and structural analysis methods and techniques.
• Training in composite materials and their behaviour that will help the candidate deeply understand our products and how they behave.
