    Structural Dynamics Test Engineer - London, United Kingdom - AWE

    AWE
    Default job background
    Permanent Engineering / Architecture
    Description
    What if you could work with remarkable people on extraordinary things? What if the end result was something a little bit special? What if your role was mission critical?

    For nearly 70 years, AWE has been at the forefront of nuclear weapons research and development. We have a critical mission: to provide the warheads for the UK s ultimate deterrent - Trident. We also use our unique skills to provide wider UK government with counter-terrorism and nuclear threat reduction solutions.

    It takes a special sort of person to work at AWE. What if that person was you?

    Location: Aldermaston, West Berkshire. We are located between Basingstoke and Reading.

    Salary: £35,720 - £50,000 (dependent on experience, qualifications and suitability). A relocation package may be available (terms and conditions apply).

    Closing date: 10th July 2024

    AWE is looking for Engineers to work in the field of Structural Dynamics .

    The Structural Dynamics Team help underwrite the performance and safety of AWE s structures (particularly the warhead) through a combination of dynamic testing and computer simulation.

    Testing activities include modal testing to determine resonances of a structure, conducting Trident trials, carrying out rapid dynamic investigations for the stockpile and developing future ground-based certification methods.

    State-of-the-art Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a major strength of the Structural Dynamics Team. Environments of the Stockpile-to-Target Sequence (STS) are simulated to predict the stresses, strains and displacements of AWE structures.

    Working within the Structural Dynamics Team at AWE Aldermaston within the Warhead Engineering community, candidates are expected to become proficient at both dynamic testing and Finite Element analysis to solve real-world problems for internal and external customers.

    Who Are We Looking For?

    We would like candidates to have:
    • A degree qualification in engineering (or an HND in engineering supported by extensive practical experience) or relevant technical experience
    • A good grasp of mathematical and engineering concepts
    • Experience in use of modern Computer Aided Design (CAD) software
    • Experience of using modern Finite Element (FE) analysis software
    • Appreciation of dynamic testing, such as modal testing and vibration testing
    • An ability to work as part of a team and with multiple stakeholders


    Desirable knowledge and experience for these roles are:
    • Experience of FE model validation and updating
    • Understanding of data acquisition and signal processing
