Job description

In order to develop and expand the capabilities of SAFRAN Engineering Services in the UK, we are looking for a Loads Engineer to join our growing team for initially a 12m fixed term contract.

Load calculations used for sizing study of future aircrafts or for major MODs. For a start, determination of component loads (calculation of the loads on specifics parts) and could be in the future::

• Ground loads (Landings, Brakings, Turns, Rollings, …)

• Flight loads (Longitudinal and Lateral Manoeuvres, Load Alleviation Functions, Gust, Failure cases …)
• Aeroelastics calculation (Flutter calculations, control surfaces limit cycle oscillations)

* Mechanical / Aerospace / Structural Engineering degree

* Technical skills:

• Flight Physics, Flight Loads, Ground Loads, Aeroelastics, Aerodynamics

• Know the behavior of an airplane, to have physical sense
• Coding: Python (mandatory)
• Tools: Matlab

* Strong ability to plan and schedule activities across multiple modules

* Pay attention to details

* Effective communication skills, able to clearly define expectations and gain understanding

* Team spirit with a capacity to interact with multicultural teams

• 185 hours holiday per year plus statutory bank holidays
• Personal pension scheme whereby 5% contribution from employee and 8% from employer plus salary sacrifice.
• Death in service life insurance – covering up to 4x annual basic salary in the event of death in service
• PEGI Share Scheme
• Career development within Safran Group
• Training & development are a focus
• Early finish on a Friday
