ROLE PURPOSE
We have an exciting opportunity to support analysis and development of a key structure component for a future civil aerospace gas turbine.
The role is to deliver Impact, Containment and Buckling analysis of a composite structural component, and provide suggestions and recommendations.
To successfully perform this activity requires working knowledge (direct experience) of meshing components for FEA, and running complex dynamic analyses using Ansys LS-DYNA. Additionally the the ability to effectively make and communicate judgements, recommendations on future progress, is required (using post-processing outputs as appropriate). Previous knowledge and experience of composite components is also desirable.
The individual will join a multi-skilled FEA team who deliver a variety of concurrent FEA work packages for a Gas Turbine OEM client.
Permanent or temporary employee contract will be considered for this position. Location is UK, Derby, and work is 100% in office due to proximity to specialist IT systems
