Engineers and technicians Remote Stress Engineer (Contractor) Bilbao

Managing Composites is a quickly growing family, and we're on the lookout for fresh talent to join our team. And now we are looking for a talented and motivated Stress Engineer to join our team.

We are developing cutting edge solutions to automate complex processes for the composite industry, using software, hardware, and artificial intelligence. As a Stress Engineer, you will embark on a journey of stress analysis and simulations, and performance of diverse engineering systems and components. Your skills will play a key role in unlocking design optimization and delivering trusted and innovative solutions.

The position is a remote work opportunity.

Responsibilities:

• Identify regulatory requirements and define compliance demonstration methods.
• Propose and implement calculation methods in accordance with best practices to accurately assess the structural behavior and performance of components and systems.
• Perform a wide range of calculation analyses, including both implicit (linear static, non-linear static, modal, fatigue…) and explicit (dynamic, crash…) for metallic and composite materials, utilizing analytical methods or creating and post-processing Finite Element Analysis (FEA).
• Utilize CAE packages, such as OptiStruct, Radioss, Abaqus/Standard, Abaqus/Explicit, LS-DYNA, and ANSYS, to conduct simulations and analyze stress distributions in complex engineering designs.
• Provide summaries of calculation results, interpreting and communicating findings and suggesting improvements to enhance the design and optimize structural performance.
• Help determine accurate boundary conditions and create meshes to ensure dependable stress analysis results.

Qualifications:

• Degree or master's in industrial engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field.
• High level of English.
• Experience in experimental testing (material characterization, model validation, crash tests…).
• Experience in passive safety simulations, being familiar with crash regulations for road vehicles.
• Experience in active safety simulations, including airbag and seat belt modelling.
• Strong knowledge of composite materials.
• CFD knowledge would be valued.
• Hybrid work environment: office and remote work.
• Flexible hours to suit your schedule.
• Company events.
• Ongoing learning with The Native Lab, our in-house professional development platform.
• A focus on your motivation and well-being, with initiatives designed to keep you happy and thriving.
