Overview of Role

As the demand for our expertise continues to grow, opportunities have arisen for Shock & Dynamics Mechanical Engineers / Finite Element (FE) Analysts to work within our Specialist Consultancy business at Barrow.

To develop and justify shock and mounting system design solutions for the support of equipment and systems, typically including: the development of mounting systems for items of equipment to provide shock protection and vibration isolation; and strength assessment of structures, fasteners and materials.

Specialist roles use advanced finite element analysis (FEA) methods, including fluid structure interaction to simulate underwater explosions, and mathematical coding for standalone applications or to support FEA.

Key Responsibilities

Detailed knowledge of classical stress analysis and the ability to use appropriate first principals and/or code formulae;

Knowledge of structural dynamics;

Knowledge of FEA methods and software is considered advantageous;

Design, definition and qualification of mounting system and structural designs to provide shock and vibration isolation for equipment and systems;

Assessment of structural and mechanical adequacy;

Liaise with customers and other engineering/project disciplines;

Establish customer requirements, build models and complete calculations/analysis;

Technical report writing and technical presentations.

Essential Qualifications

HNC/HND, Degree or PhD in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline

Experience Required
