Stress Engineer

Are you a highly skilled Stress Engineer with a strong foundation in mechanical analysis, simulation, and problem-solving?

We're supporting a major engineering project in the Aerospace & Defence sector, based in Huddersfield, and looking for a Stress Engineer to join the team on a permanent or contract basis. The role involves working with high-integrity mechanical systems such as gearboxes, power transmission components, and structural subassemblies.

Key Responsibilities:

• Perform detailed stress and structural analysis using FEA tools (ideally ANSYS)
• Support design teams with hand calculations and static load analysis
• Investigate structural failures and conduct root cause analysis
• Attend design reviews and present technical documentation
• Work collaboratively across the product lifecycle - design, development, and customer support
• Ensure compliance with quality standards and technical specifications

What You'll Need:

• Proficiency in FEA software (e.g., ANSYS, NASTRAN, HyperMesh)
• Ability to perform hand calculations for stress and structural integrity
• Experience with mechanical systems (ideally gears/gearboxes)
• A degree in Mechanical, Structural, or Aerospace Engineering
• Background in Aerospace, Defence, or Heavy Engineering
• UK Citizenship (due to project security clearance requirements)

This is an exciting opportunity for a Stress Engineer to work on cutting-edge systems in a technically challenging and rewarding environment.
