- Description
- Role: Stress engineer
Location: Stevenage (Hybrid)
Contract Length: 6 months (Possible extension)
Rate: Please apply for further details
JOB SUMMARY:
- Working on the design and build elements of new satellites for a range of roles from advanced Earth observation to complex communication arrays.
- Independently complete all tasks required by supervision, in the allocated time, to demonstrate that the structure design meets its
- strength and stiffness requirements.
- Participating in team discussions / reviews to achieve an efficient design.
- Further appreciation of relevant design drivers and associated manufacturing issues.
- Assisting lead stress engineer on projects.
INTERNAL RELATIONSHIPS:
- Work within analysis team to justify the design.
- Presenting and substantiating their solutions to their Lead Engineer.
- Regular internal-only customer contact and technical presentation.
- Supervise assistant/graduate engineers on specific tasks.
EXTERNAL RELATIONSHIPS:
