Job Title: Structural Engineer Location: Farnborough About the Role: We are seeking a talented and motivated Structural Engineer to join our team in Farnborough. The successful candidate will work on a diverse portfolio of projects, utilizing advanced finite element-based structural analysis codes and classical analytical methods to simulate the response of complex materials and structures in challenging environments. Key Responsibilities: Conduct structural analysis using finite element modelling methods, particularly ABAQUS. Deliver projects involving novel research and methods development, as well as traditional engineering assessments and design-support activities. Write quality technical reports and presentations. Provide technical leadership and support to team members. Collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams on a broad range of national and international projects.Essential Skills and Qualifications: Experienced structural analyst with strong analytical and numerical skills. Proficiency in finite element modelling methods, especially ABAQUS. Ability to manage time effectively and deliver projects to time, cost, and quality. Knowledge of adjacent technical disciplines such as design, manufacturing, materials, aerodynamics/hydrodynamics. Chartered Engineer status or working towards it. Eligibility to hold UK SC security clearance.Desirable Skills and Experience: Analysis of composite structures, including progressive damage in multiple failure modes. Development and calibration of bespoke material models/sub-routines to simulate complex materials behaviours. Dynamic-explicit analysis methods, including impact modelling. Structural dynamics and vibration analysis and testing. Aero-elastic analysis and thermal analysis, including transient heat flow. Structural optimisation and creation of semi-automated workflows using tools such as Isight. Commercial awareness and experience of bidding. Programming skills in VBA, Python, or FORTRAN. Development of CAD models using Solidworks.Domain Experience: While technical capability is paramount, experience in aerospace, space, or weapons domains would be beneficial. Additional Information: The role is primarily based in Farnborough, with occasional off-site working possible. Current operations include provisions for home-working, though this may not be guaranteed for all projects
