Stress Engineer
Company: Aerospace Actuator/ Gear, design and production
Location: Wolverhampton
Role: Mechanical stress engineer using traditional Hand calc's
Rate: £30-35ph
Contract: 6month+
Role Summary:
Tasks will include the design and detail stress analysis of components including Hydraulic Pressure Vessels and Control Units, Housings, Piston Rods, Gears, Bearings, Shafts and Ball-Screws.
Project involvement may include the analysis of primary and secondary flight controls including hydraulic, geared, mechanical and electro-mechanical actuators. Is required to produce stress calculations, engineering documentation including stress plans and stress reports. Will also have an input to development and qualification testing.
The Project Stress Engineer role, requiring substantial relevant experience and product knowledge, will be expected to take full responsibility for all stress aspects in connection with a project, including the approval of Bodyline Drawings, Manufacturing Drawings and Concessions.
Ideally required is an engineer who is capable of conventional stress analysis rather than FEA.
