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 programmes.

Job scope (core activities):

·       Stress analysis of metallic and composite aircraft structures using hand calculations, ISAMI, GFEM and DFEMs

·       Extraction of loads, stresses, generation of spectra and mission files

·       Extraction of material data, geometry details and fastener specifications from part & assembly drawings

·       Application of appropriate static, fatigue and damage tolerance design values from standard references

·       Creation of FEMs using geometric data from part & assembly drawings

·       Sizing of primary and secondary parts for static and fatigue requirements

·       Fastener load extraction and joint analysis

·       RF calculation for different failure modes such as strength, buckling, shear panel failure, damage tolerance etc.

·       Low RF mitigations using classical or numerical methods

·       Preparation of stress certification dossiers, ACD4 and ACD6

Required Domain Expertise:

·       Sound knowledge of structural design principles, aircraft loads and aircraft structures

·       Experience in static, 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

·       Certification requirements and experience with stress dossiers
