Structural Systems engineers are responsible for load deflection and stress analysis and experimental testing of gas turbine engines and sub-systems from the early concept phase through certification and field service.

We have three main sub-disciplines in Structures Systems:

1) Structural Integration - support concept development of engine architecture generate full engine system models for load deflection and stress analysis generate document and manage static and dynamic loads integrate the engine structure with the airframe.

2) Engine Impact Dynamics - utilize LS/Dyna to generate full engine models to predict engine system response to highly dynamic short duration impact events such as turbofan blade off bird ingestion hail impact and turboprop/shaft engine system response to stage blade off shaft shear and overspeed.

3) ECN Stress Analysis - analyze develop and test hardware designed within the ECN module including engine mounts composite aerostructures tubes support hardware fairings accessories bleed systems and nacelle interfaces.

What will your day-to-day look like

• Load deflection stress and dynamic analysis using Ansys WB Nastran Hypermesh or LS/Dyna

• Engine and rig test planning including instrumentation requirements test sequence and post test data reduction and evaluation

• LCF and HCF lifing of ECN hardware

• Thermal Analysis including transient fire attack analysis

• Full engine system level modeling

• Stress analysis of composite aerostructures

• Act as technical focal point in support of engineering work done offshore

What do you need to be successful

• Be eligible to work in Canada.
