Structural Systems Design Engineer

About the role

The Structural Systems Design Engineer is part of the Mechanical Integrity Engineering team who supports the Design function by undertaking analysis of the proposed designs to ensure they are robust and meet requirements. The role also involves making recommendations to optimize the design and apply Robust Engineering (Design for Process Excellence) principles.

Responsibilities

• To conduct Aeros/Thermal, Acoustic and Structure Mechanical Design and Analysis, including selection and generation of numerical models, use of numerical calculation methods, developing interdisciplinary agreed boundary conditions, and implementing into own and other models.
• To conduct Aeros/Thermal, Acoustic and Structure Mechanical experiments, involving preparation of experiment specifications, supervision and support of experiments, plausibility check of results, analysis and interpretation of test results, and comparison with analytical and/or empirical models.
• To resolve problems through evaluative judgements, analyzing factual information from multiple sources, interpreting results, and identifying effective solutions by applying technical knowledge, expertise, and engineering judgement.
• To be a point of contact within a given engineering discipline, sharing subject matter knowledge across the function, providing advisory services to designated customers, influencing their peer group, representing senior departmental staff, and acting as advisor/coach on matters where they are technically authoritative.
• To understand company business and function objectives and ensure that the work they do supports these objectives.
• To always act in accordance with both the company values and those associated with being a professional engineer.
• To actively promote, encourage, and support the identification and implementation of continuous improvement (s of tools, processes and methods) both within and outside their immediate sphere and prompt action across the wider team.
