Job Title: Senior Engineer – Structures (CAT B Seats)
Contract: 5 months (Inside IR35)
Working Requirements: 2/3 days onsite per week - SCOTSTOUN
Role Purpose:
1. For Type 26, we have a team of engineers who are testing CAT B seats. There are 2800 seats to be designed in a team of 20, with potentially fewer for Canada.
2. The Canada project took the principles of Type 26 but created a new seat.
3. The team consists of Stage 1 engineers and Stage 2 detail designers who work closely together, impacting the notification for new seat creation.
4. CAT B seat engineers perform stress analysis to test whether the seat can handle the load.
5. 4 years of engineering qualification experience is required.
6. Stress and hand calculations are imperative to this position (making up 70%).
Core Duties:
1. Part of a team of 9 engineers doing analysis, including complex finite element analysis and standard calculations.
2. Ensuring the seats comply with requirements and testing.
3. Taking the model from the detail design team and performing analysis on it.
4. Conducting calculations and analysis for sufficient strength, and collaborating with the detail design team to enhance structures.
5. Revisiting calculations once changes have been made.
6. Minimal customer interfacing required; customers may check and have some queries.
7. FORAN experience is not required in full, but engineers will view models and dimensions.
8. Proficient in MATHCAD.
9. Checking all calculations and reporting to the principal engineer.
10. Interfacing with detail design teams producing the modeling of the seats.
Knowledge & Skills:
1. General engineering knowledge.
2. Ship experience (desirable).
3. Structural analysis.
Essential Skills:
1. Stress calculation (70%).
Desirable Skills:
1. MATHCAD.
2. FORAN experience.
3. Familiarity with Classification Lloyds or any transferable classification experience.
Qualifications:
1. Any relevant Engineering Degree (not necessarily civil engineering).
2. Ideally a naval architect, but other degrees such as mechanical engineering, aeronautical, or product design are also acceptable as they focus on equipment.
