Structural Analysis Engineer (Propulsion Units)

Duration: 6 months
Working Remotely: Remote work is possible.

Job Description:

We are seeking a highly skilled Structural Analysis Engineer to join our team and play a crucial role in the development of structural analysis methods for propulsion unit structures certification. In this role, you will have the opportunity to establish technical procedures, standard analysis practices, and support test campaigns to validate stress analysis tools and methods as part of our propulsion structures compliance strategy. Additionally, you will be responsible for creating tools for stress analysis pre/post-processing automation.

Key Responsibilities:
- Develop and refine structural analysis methods for propulsion unit structures certification.
- Establish and document technical procedures and standard analysis practices.
- Provide support for test campaigns to validate stress analysis tools and methods.
- Create tools for automation of stress analysis pre/post-processing tasks.
- Focus on developing methodologies for various analysis topics, including linear and non-linear static analysis, fatigue analysis (LCF, HCF), fracture mechanics analysis, and vibration analysis (modal, frequency, harmonic response, eigenmodes analysis, random/spectral input vibration, and fatigue analysis).

Requirements:
- An engineering degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
- 5+ years of experience in structural analysis, with application to aerospace engines and/or turbomachinery and/or electric engines.
- In-depth knowledge of stress analysis methods in fatigue and damage tolerance assessments, time/frequency domain dynamic analysis, and random vibration analysis.
- Experience in scripting using programming languages such as Python, MATLAB, Bash Scripting, VBA, etc.
- Scripting experience in HW tcl is a plus.
- Experience in FEA model correlations with test results.
- Advanced knowledge of stress analysis methods following established standards for CFRP and metallic structures, particularly for complex assemblies.
- Familiarity with analytical hand calculation methods such as Bruhn, Peterson, HSB, VDI, etc.
- Confidence in the application of optimization techniques.
- Extensive working experience with the commercial implicit FE code OPTISTRUCT, and corresponding pre-and post-processing tools (HyperMesh and HyperView) is a must.
- Professional experience in NASTRAN (especially SOL 107, SOL 108, SOL 110, SOL 111, SOL 112, SOL 128, SOL 400) is a strong plus.
- Familiarity with Aviation Vibration standards such as DO160G-Chapter 8 and MIL-STD-810 and other applicable ISO standards is a plus.
- Knowledge of Analysis Validation with experimental methods (especially relating to CS-E type means of compliance such as the AMC E 650) is a plus.
- Motivated, initiative-driven problem-solving attitude with a high level of self-reliance and an autonomous, target-oriented work style.
- Fluent English language skills are essential; fluent German or any other language would be beneficial.
