Are you passionate about structural analysis and design? Are you interested in developing Wing structures? Do you like connecting with people and different organisations?

Guidant Global is delighted to be partnering with Airbus, a global pioneer in the aerospace industry, in their search for an F&DT Engineer, to support the Wing Analysis Engineering team at Filton. This is an exciting opportunity to join a team of Structural Engineers who are all passionate about finding technical solutions. The team has a vast wealth of knowledge and experience that can help you grow technically and personally within this role.

Following the recent reorganisation within Airframe, this role now offers more flexibility to work on most of Airbus' wings; from major developments such as the A321neoXLR, the A350 ULR and Freighter, to cost saving and continuous airworthiness modifications. The team touches nearly all aspects of the Product Development Plan (PDP) from feasibility studies to certification and occurrences once the product has entered service.

Airbus has a strategy which is strongly focused on continuous individual growth through in-role and classroom learning, cross program experiences and upskilling in areas such as programming, FEM, and automation in line with the Airbus' digitalisation targets. All this is to enable a truly flexible workforce which is fully prepared and engaged to take on the development of Airbus' next wing projects in the future.

Responsibilities

• You will support the resolution of F&DT problems using appropriate Airbus methods, processes, and tools. This will include performing calculations to justify structural performance and creating appropriate documentation.
• You will support the Design and Static stress disciplines with structural sizing and trade studies.
• You will support the generation of Aircraft structures that are innovative and offer benefits to existing products and new incremental development. You will prepare the future product family.

About You

• You bring experience and know-how of Airbus structures engineering and analytical techniques used for F&DT, such as tools like ISAMI or DAMTOL.
• You have previous wing experience.
• You ideally hold approver/signatory status.
• You will have some knowledge of overall aircraft structural design principles and techniques.
• You studied engineering and have a structural analysis background, particularly fatigue and damage tolerance.
• You can step back and propose new ideas to solve problems.
• Working in Airbus implies working in an international environment, as such you shall be able to communicate easily in English. You will work in a diverse and multi-national environment. Other languages and experience of a wide range of cultures is therefore beneficial.
