Stress Engineer

Stress Engineer (Hybrid)

Cheltenham (Hybrid: 3 days from home, 2 days in office)

Shape the Future of Military Landing Gear Design

If you excel in classical stress analysis techniques and have a knack for solving complex engineering challenges, this is the opportunity for you.

• Work on cutting-edge military projects shaping the future of aerospace innovation.
• Flexible hybrid working model-enjoy the best of both worlds with 3 days from home and 2 days in our Cheltenham office.
• A focus on hands-on engineering-this role prioritizes classical analysis, so no extensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA) experience is required.

• Perform classical static stress analysis on landing gear components and assemblies, ensuring they meet stringent military safety and design standards.
• Conduct fatigue and durability assessments, evaluating the lifespan of landing gear under real-world operational loads.
• Provide critical structural validation support to design and engineering teams, enabling robust and reliable landing gear designs.
• Collaborate across teams to enhance designs, addressing structural integrity and performance.
• Deliver detailed stress reports, calculations, and technical documentation to meet project objectives.
• Uphold military and regulatory standards to guarantee the safety, reliability, and performance of landing gear systems.

• Proven experience with classical stress analysis methods, focusing on static and fatigue loading for aerospace or military systems.
• Deep understanding of material properties, failure modes, and structural behaviour in landing gear applications.
• Confidence tackling technical challenges without relying on advanced FEA tools.
• Familiarity with military or aerospace standards for landing gear design is a strong advantage.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related discipline.

• Hands-on experience with landing gear projects in the military or defence sector.
• Expertise in fatigue analysis and lifecycle assessment methodologies.
• Knowledge of regulatory requirements for military-grade landing gear systems.

• Work on mission-critical projects that directly support military operations.
• Develop and refine your expertise in classical stress engineering, with opportunities to make a tangible impact on aerospace design.
• Enjoy the flexibility of a hybrid working arrangement.

This is a 12-month contract role, perfect for engineers looking to contribute their expertise to exciting and high-impact aerospace projects.
