Job Description

The Structure Design & Analysis team is part of the ‘Airframe Modelling & Simulation’ group under the Airframe department and plays a key role in design, development and certification 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
• Finite element method / finite element analysis (FEM / FEA)
• Very good analytical and reasoning skills
