Technical authority in the employees domain – providing support to Engineering management for identification and driving priorities through technical roadmapsSupport of the product roadmaps in the employee's domainFinancial responsibilities: influence and awareness of product profitability and product competitiveness. No direct budget to manage but expected to influence budget identification via program and engineering managers.Organise and support peer reviews in the employee's domainProcess accountability: ensure traceability and compliance with Airworthiness and customer (and/or internal) requirements; delivery of projects according to Safran Product Introduction Process (requirements capture and traceability, design validation and verification, design reviews etc.); definition and adherence to project milestones, both external and internal; support for operations (permits/concessions/Corrective actions etc.)Interface with other functions (e.g. Operations, Business Development, Supply Chain, Programmes, Quality etc.) in coordination with Technical Project Manager or Program Managers (if applicable)Carry out thermal, vibration, structural Finite Element Analysis using Ansys WorkbenchEstimating task duration for single tasks or work packagesCoordination with Lead Engineers and Project / Programme Managers to stay abreast of customer needs and estimate forward demandSupport Simulation and Means Team Lead with reviewing the team's working practices and driving improvements to processes and proceduresSupport the Simulation and Means Team Lead with long-range planning for the team to ensure the development of team members and processes follows company strategic plans; coach team members as requiredProvide training and guidance on Stress principles in order to grow the skill throughout the design communityAuthoring, reviewing, and approving engineering documentation related to Simulation and Means activitiesReview requirements from other Safran Business to help provide Simulation and Means supportKnowledge transfer: transfer the employee's experience to less experienced engineers in the businessSupport product improvement plan & implementation, then re-injected lessons learned into Research & Technology activitiesSupport Simulation and Means Team Lead establish and co-ordinate the knowledge sharing sessions of techniques, processes and technologies across the POWER Division of SafranDuring bid phase, support with specialist functional know-how / lessons learnt to estimate Engineering Non Recurring Cost for the relevant work packagesPromoting Safran Simulation and Means capability in appropriate ways, e.g. representing the company at conference talksJob RequirementsExperience in an appropriate Engineering discipline (or a relevant engineering qualification)Experience in an industrial environment where the design, development and manufacture of precision machines is the core businessExperience in the analysis of high speed rotating equipment with respect to stress, thermal and vibration/rotor dynamics using Finite Element Analysis particularly ANSYSA thorough knowledge of fatigue and the ability to predict component life against defined mission profilesA thorough knowledge of typical aerospace materials and the experience to recommend suitable materials for applicationsExtensive experience in material failure analysis/testing (e.g. Non Destructive Testing) and materials testing (e.g. tensile, hardness, impact, toughness) and assessing material tolerance to heat, corrosion or chemical attackKnowledge of British and International material specifications would be beneficialKnowledge of typical aerospace materials (e.g. Nickel Alloys, High Strength Aluminium or Steel Alloys, Plastics and Polymers) and the ability to recommend materials for applicationsAwareness of current Computer Aided Design tools (NX, Catia V5, ANSYS, etc.) and their capabilitiesCompetent to produce and approve technical reportsCompetent in using Microsoft Office and Microsoft Project toolsAn understanding of electrical machines, in particular related to power generation and motors would be beneficialAn understanding of fluid dynamics and tribology would be beneficialAn understanding of CFD would be beneficialExperience in LS-Dyna and N-Code would be beneficialAn understanding of bearing selection and lifetime calculation would be beneficialSome management experience would be beneficial (e.g. Work Package Owner/Team Leader)
