Job Description

The R&T team is a part of the ‘stress and design’ group under Airframe department and plays a key role in demonstrating emerging technology readiness levels and developing innovative solutions for design and development of current and future aircraft programs.

Job scope (core activities):

·       Spectra generation

·       Analysis of metallic and composite structures (Plain Strength checks, Buckling, Bolted joint analysis)

·       Knowledge of static and fatigue design values (Ftu, Fty, Fcy, AFI parameters, S-N curve parameters, fracture toughness etc.,)

·       Static and Fatigue calculations (Hand calculations, DFEM, ISAMI, GFEM load redistribution)

·       Calculation of Seq stresses (fatigue and crack propagation), understanding of mission profiles, rainflow counting, Miner's rule, stress files, FESPS databases.

·       Calculation of Stress concentration (Kt) values using Petersons' or DFEM or ISAMI modules.

·       Ability to read the drawings and interpret fastener diameter, fastener fit, fastener spec & type, surface protection treatment to be useful for fatigue calculations.

·       ISAMI modules (Metallic Filled Hole, Composite Filled Hole, Lug analysis, Corin Analysis, Notch Sensitivity, Damage Tolerance, Tension Fitting, Fatigue Spectrum Analysis (1D & 2D), Fatigue DFEM Initiation Modules, etc.,)

Required Domain Expertise:

·       Sound knowledge of structural design principles, aircraft loads and Airbus fatigue manuals

·       Experience in fatigue and damage tolerance analysis of aircraft structural components (Airbus methods and tools would be preferable)

·       Background in design and sizing of aircraft primary structure components and parts

·       Ability to liaise/negotiate with design, stress, EU teams and customer services

·       Basic scripting

·       Finite element method / finite element analysis (FEM / FEA)

·       Very good analytical and reasoning skills

Tools: Patran/Nastran, Hypermesh, ISAMI (preferred), AF-Twin, NASGRO, SAFE, DAMTOL

Qualification:

    Graduate/Post graduate (Aerospace / Mechanical / Civil )

Experience:

  03-10 years

 Soft skills:

·      Ability to work independently & in a transnational team.

·      Good communication and interpersonal skills

·      Flexibility & adaptability
