An industry-leading Defence client of ours is currently looking for a Principal Engineer (Shock & Dynamics) within their Structural team to work on a variety of safety/mission-critical projects. The right candidate will be responsible for the decomposition of the Shock and EGV requirements (e.g. policies, general technical requirements, etc.)
What you'll be doing:
1. Generating derived requirements for technical specifications to be flown down to suppliers; reviewing tender compliance which is likely to involve supplier interaction in order to manage the delivery expectations with respect to the level of Shock and EGV qualification evidence
2. Working with and reviewing documentation generated by the Systems engineering teams
3. Reviewing, developing and approving supplier-submitted physical test plans and procedures
4. Review and acceptance of supplier Shock and EGV qualification evidence encompassing classical manual stress calculations, Finite Element Analysis reports and physical test reports
5. Presentation and delivery of Systems equipment Shock and EGV qualification evidence to the customer
Your skills and experiences:
Essential
6. Experience in structural engineering and analysis techniques specifically classical manual stress calculations and various Finite Element Analysis techniques and interpretations of the output
7. Capable in the use of a mathematical package such as Mathcad, Mathematica, etc.
8. Experience of the development and management of technical requirements and acceptance activities within one of the following areas: submarine, defence, construction, ships or similar environment
Desirable
9. Experience in the design of equipment for submarines/surface ships and/or experience in producing shock qualification evidence (hand calculations, Finite Element Analysis) of equipment for submarines/surface ships
10. Degree or equivalent qualification or experience within a relevant engineering discipline
