I’m supporting a client in Stevenage who is expanding their Mechanical Analysis capability and looking for a Principal Stress Engineer to take a lead role in the structural development of a next-generation weapon platform. The work centres on solving demanding structural problems, shaping the design approach, and setting the standard for analysis quality across a major programme.
More about the role as Principle Stress Engineer…
* You’ll be working at the point where mechanical design, systems architecture and performance requirements meet.
* You will be guiding structural decisions from early concept through detailed development and test.
* Expect a mix of classical methods, advanced CAE work, loads development and the engineering judgement needed to interpret real-world behaviour in a complex system.
* Composite analysis experience is useful but not mandatory.
About the business you’ll work within as Principle Stress Engineer…
