At Safran Electrical & Power, we recognise that aviation needs to innovate and change in order to protect our environment. We believe that future aircraft power systems will be hybrid-electric or full-electric, which is why we are working to develop and deliver advanced electrical solutions to help decarbonise flight. In addition to supporting the next generation of traditional aircraft, we are also working to support new VTol (Vertical Take-off and landing) products, light jets and urban mobility solutions that will revolutionise the way we fly.



The UK Safran Electrical & Power team has expertise in designing and developing electrical systems comprising generators, power conversion, distribution and control, with developing expertise in electric motors for aircraft propulsion.



If you want to help deliver this future, we are looking for enthusiastic and creative people to join our team.



As a Senior Principal Stress Engineer at Safran Electrical & Power, you will play a vital role within the Engineering team, leading on Simulation work packages. You will directly influence product awareness and competitiveness, with an influence on budget identification in conjunction with program and engineering managers. You will use and develop a diverse range of techniques in order to perform various simulations, analysis and evaluations of components, assemblies and products. You will ensure this is carried out at all stages of the of the product design process, identifying initial opportunities through to successful operation.



The Role

• Drive forward simulation work packages, planning schedules and milestones for the project

• Where work packages are outsourced, liaising with the organisation and their personnel

• Carry out thermal, vibration, structural Finite Element Analysis using Ansys Workbench

• Perform simulations, analysis and evaluations of components, assemblies and products using various analysis tools and techniques e.g. hand calculations, FE analysis of static structural, dynamic, modal, vibration, thermal and stress analysis.

• Solve technical problems relating to product design in order to achieve the programme objectives.

• Support the simulation and means team with long-range planning for the team to ensure the development of team members and processes.

• Provide training and guidance on stress, vibration, fatigue and rotor dynamics principles in order to grow the skill throughout the design community.
