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 were 2800 seats to be designed in a team of 20. Maybe not as many for Canada.
2. The Canada project took the principles of Type 26 but created a new seat.
3. A team of Stage 1 engineers and Stage 2 detail designers work closely together, which impacts the notification that a new seat needs to be created.
4. CAT B seat engineers perform stress analysis to test whether the stress can take the load off the seat.
5. 4 years of engineering qualification experience is required.
6. Stress and hand calculations are imperative to this position (making up 70% of the role).
Core Duties
1. Be part of a team of 9 engineers doing analysis, including some complex analysis with finite element but mostly standard calculations.
2. Ensure the seats are compliant with requirements and testing.
3. Take the model from the detail design team and perform analysis on the model.
4. Conduct calculations and analysis for sufficient strength, and return to the detail design to increase the structures.
5. Revisit calculations once changes have been made.
6. Minimal customer interfacing is required; the customer may dip check and have some queries, but it would not be significant.
7. FORAN experience is not required fully, but engineers will need to view the model and lift the dimensions.
8. Use MATHCAD for calculations.
9. Check all calculations and ensure they are good to go, reporting to the principal engineer.
10. Interface with detail design, who are producing the modelling 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. Any familiarity with Classification Lloyds; any classification experience can be transferred.
Qualifications
1. Any relevant Engineering Degree, potentially not civil engineering.
2. Ideally a naval architect, but not essential; would like degree qualification in mechanical engineering, aeronautical engineering, or product design as it focuses on the equipment.
