Day to day:

  • Run dynamic environments and structural analysis across propulsion units, flow control systems and power electronics
  • Support random vibration and shock test campaigns, then correlate the data back to your models
  • Interpret customer requirements, present your results in design reviews, and write the analysis reports that go out with the hardware

  • Work across several programmes at once and improve the analysis process as you go

What they’re looking for

  • Bachelor’s or above in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering
  • 5+ years in industry
  • Strong dynamic environments and structural analysis background
  • Hands-on experience with dynamic testing (random vibration, shock)
  • Solid grounding in vibroacoustics, structural mechanics and dynamics
  • Comfortable explaining your analysis to a customer, not just running it
