Stress Engineer (Contract)
Location: Bristol
Salary: £35–£50 p/h (Outside IR35) DOE
You know your way around a stress report. You can run FEA, write up substantiation evidence, and hold your own in a PDR without needing anyone to hold your hand.
This is a contract role supporting the structural development for an aviation system, one of the most genuinely exciting areas in aerospace right now. The work is real, the pace is fast, and the engineering is the kind you'll want on your CV.
What you'll be doing:
Static and fatigue analysis of metallic structures. FEA using ANSYS, Nastran/Patran or similar. Classical hand calculation methods. Generating stress reports for design review and compliance standards. Working shoulder-to-shoulder with design engineers from early concept through to CDR.
What you need:
A degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering (or equivalent). Solid experience in structural/stress analysis in a regulated environment. Strong technical writing. The ability to communicate results clearly to people who aren't always engineers.
Familiarity with landing gear substantiation or certification-oriented development is a plus. So is CAD competence in CATIA or SolidWorks.
The detail:
Location: Bristol, with occasional travel to client sites. Rate: £35–£50 p/h, outside IR35.
