What You'll Be Doing
This role will offer you multiple interfaces with a wide range of other areas including Component Design teams, Design Integration teams, Engine Project teams, Engine Development teams, Services & Life Cycle Engineering teams, Materials teams, Manufacturing teams and Repair & Overhaul teams.

• To conduct mechanical integrity, stress and lifing assessments using finite element analysis and other numerical models.
• To specify and conduct mechanical experiments, for the purpose of underwriting designs, and validating analytical or empirical models. Also, you will identify root cause and resolve problems through evaluative judgements and analysis.
• To deliver against programme milestones within agreed cost, timescale and quality requirements.
• To be a point of contact between the mechanical integrity discipline and other functions and customers.

What We're Looking For

• You will have Bachelor's degree or Master's in Engineering or regional equivalent qualification (or equivalent experience) in Mechanical or Aeronautical Engineering, Materials Technology, Mathematics, Physics or a similar related discipline.
• Knowledge and experience in Critical Part component lifing methods and analyses – e.g. LCF, HCF, damage tolerant/crack propagation (deterministic & probabilistic), corrosion, rotor integrity (disc burst, rim peel & blade release), or has keen interest in developing such skills at pace.
• Proficient in the use of 2D & 3D finite element stress analysis tools (e.g. SC03/ Abaqus/ ANSYS/ NASTRAN) – in elastic, inelastic, thermal-mechanical, contact and frictional assessments.
• Knowledge and experience of product integrity, liability and aerospace certification frameworks.
• Strong technical knowledge in mechanical design methodologies and have an understanding of cross-discipline engineering concepts which include but are not limited to manufacturing engineering, aerodynamics, thermodynamics, thermal and mechanical analysis, cost engineering and product definition.
