Nacelle Stress Engineer Structural & Acoustic Analysis- China.
Our Aerospace client based in Shanghai, China, are looking to appoint a Nacelle Stress Engineer to be engaged on Structural & Acoustic Analysis on their Civil Aero Engines in Shanghai.
This will be a long term role. Fixed term contracts will be offered to the successful candidate. If you are interested to live and work in Asia, this opportunity will allow that to happen with plenty of time to explore this region, its culture and customs.
Job Description:
The Nacelle Stress Engineer will focus on the structural strength analysis, airworthiness compliance, and acoustic lining development of nacelle systems. This position plays a key role in ensuring safety, reliability, and performance of nacelle structures in civil aero engines.
Key Responsibilities:
Perform static, fatigue, and vibration strength analysis of nacelle structures; produce technical reports and documentation.
Conduct airworthiness compliance verification and define structural strength requirements.
Support trial production and quality assessment of nacelle parts and assemblies.
Assist in nacelle assembly and commissioning activities.
Plan and execute structural testing, including test piece design and test promotion.
Establish and improve nacelle strength systems, including design standards, CAE processes, calibration, and structural methods.
Lead strength evaluation of advanced acoustic linings: CMC, metamorphic, nonlinear thermoplastic materials.
Analyse test data, summarize findings, and guide design improvements for nacelle acoustic linings.
Develop and apply model verification and correction methods based on test results.
Contribute to structural analysis standards and acoustic lining regulations.
Summarize technical experience and support academic and internal training activities.Qualifications:
