Position Overview
We are looking for an experienced Structural Analysis Engineer with hands-on expertise in explicit dynamic finite element analysis and bird-strike simulation using Altair Radioss. The role involves performing structural integrity assessments of aircraft primary and secondary structures, with particular emphasis on CFRP composite airframe structures and polycarbonate transparencies/windshields.
The engineer will be responsible for developing and executing high-fidelity nonlinear simulations, assessing structural response under bird-impact loading, interpreting failure mechanisms, and providing engineering recommendations to demonstrate structural integrity and compliance with applicable aerospace requirements.
Key Responsibilities
Perform explicit agile bird-strike analysis using Altair Radioss for aircraft structural components and assemblies.
Conduct structural integrity assessments of primary and secondary aircraft structures subjected to bird impact and other high-rate dynamic loading.
Develop and execute detailed nonlinear finite element models including:




CFRP composite structures
Metallic airframe structures
Polycarbonate transparencies and windshields
Hybrid composite/metallic assemblies
Fasteners, joints and relevant interfaces
Define appropriate material models, failure criteria, contact definitions, boundary conditions and impact scenarios for bird-strike simulations.
Model bird impact using suitable bird material/constitutive representations, including appropriate SPH or equivalent approaches where applicable.
Perform composite damage and failure assessment, including relevant intralaminar and interlaminar failure mechanisms.
Evaluate structural response including:
Global deformation
Local damage and penetration
Material failure
Delamination
Cracking/fracture
Energy absorption
Residual structural integrity
Assess polycarbonate transparency/windshield response, including deformation, cracking, penetration and containment behaviour under
