Our client is a large Aerospace company looking for 3 contract stress engineers to work on the C series project.

Important

Hand calcs, MathCad

The Job

Please answer the following questions when applying for the role:

1. What experience do you have with Stress Analysis, sizing and detail design of mechanical components?
   (we are looking for gears, bearings, splined shafts, gearbox and pressure housings)

2. What competencies do you have with classical/hand calculations and Mathcad?
   (we are looking for good familiarisation with Roark, ESDU, Bruhn)

3. What competencies do you have with fatigue analysis?

4. What competencies do you have with FEA (Finite Element Analysis)
   (we are looking for CATIA V5 and ABAQUS)

5. Which engineering materials do you have in-depth knowledge of mechanical/strength properties?
