Job Description
Performance & Dynamics Engineer
6 months
45.00 - 50.00 per hour inside IR35
Gloucester - onsite
We are looking to recruit Performance & Dynamics Engineer to work on major programmes within the Systems Engineering team by building computational models and running simulations.
You will be delivering performance and dynamic analysis for the mechanical, hydraulic and occasionally basic electrical systems as they relate to the operation of aircraft, landing gear, shock absorption, extension/retraction and steering.
You will be able to understand and derive requirements and how these impact the validation and verification of the product utilising standardised methods and tools.
Possessing good knowledge of mechanical and hydraulic system products, you will help guide product development to ensure the performance and dynamics of the integrated system meet the program requirements.
Key aspects of this job include the following:
Build computational models and run simulations
Calculate static and dynamic loads
Conduct performance and frequency response analyses
Conduct stability, shimmy, modal analysis and failure case analyses
Correlate and validate computational models
Write and validate performance and dynamics requirements
Define and document simulation cases and pass/fail criteria
Optimise design solutions in conjunction with other engineering disciplines
Define test requirements and analyse and interpret test results
Adherence to the programme schedules
Requirements
Multi-body dynamic modelling and simulation
Landing gear extension/retraction analysis
Shock absorber performance analysis
Recoil analysis
Shimmy and stability analysis
System loads generation
Model Integration
Working knowledge of MATLAB/Simulink, MSC ADAMS, MSC EASY5 and AMESim
Desirable:
Knowledge of nose-wheel steering analysis, vibration analysis, electrical systems engineering, airworthiness requirements and aircraft systems certification
Experience on requirements management and DOORS
DBS clearance required
Candidates with a Stress and/or Simulation Engineering background are welcomed to apply.
