Your responsibilities

As a Structural Analysis Engineer, you will be a key person in one or more cross-functional product teams, where you represent the structural analysis competence. The role may involve both product development and production support.

You will:

• Perform advanced structural analyses and simulations (e.g., fatigue, strength, stability) for engine components under varying loads.
• Be responsible for analyses required to assess components that deviate from their original design.
• Lead or contribute to method development initiatives to standardize, automate, and improve our working methods.
• Ensure that analyses are delivered with high quality, on time, and at the right cost.
• Document and present technical results internally and externally.
• Actively contribute to continuous improvement within the department.

Your profile

You who are applying are educated as a Master of Science in Applied Mechanics or equivalent. You have at least a couple of years of experience in the field and enjoy solving complex technical problems and have the ability to switch between details and a holistic perspective.

Furthermore, we see that you have:

• Solid experience with ANSYS Mechanical and understand complex structural and script-related challenges.
• Strong competence in structural analysis and materials technology, with experience in digital data management of simulations.
• A structured and analytical work style, where you create clear and realistic plans that are easy to follow and adjust.
• If you also have programming experience, this is a merit.

The position requires that you undergo and are approved according to the applicable regulations for security protection. For positions where GKN's customer has requirements for security classification, this may involve requirements for certain citizenship.
