Join an advanced engineering team as a Stress Engineer responsible for assessing highly loaded, safety-critical components. You will perform stress and fatigue assessments, develop thermo-mechanical finite element models, evaluate vibration and crack propagation, and support experimental validation. The role offers broad exposure to structural integrity, durability, reliability, simulation, design, and physical testing.
Highlights
Work on safety-critical engineering challenges involving structural integrity, durability, fatigue, and advanced simulation. The role combines numerical analysis, engineering design, and physical testing across the product development lifecycle.
Description
Job Description
As a Stress Engineer (f/m/d) at Rolls-Royce in Dahlewitz (near Berlin), you will be responsible for the structural assessment, lifing and validation of highly loaded and safety-critical components within advanced propulsion systems.
The role combines stress analysis, fatigue and lifing, finite element analysis (FEA), structural integrity and experimental validation throughout the product development process.
The position offers the opportunity to work at the interface between numerical simulation, engineering design and physical testing, with a strong focus on ensuring component integrity, durability and reliability.
Key Responsibilities
Perform stress and lifing assessments for structures and transmission components, including static main engine structuresAssess components for static strength, fatigue, vibration and crack propagationDevelop, implement and evaluate thermo-mechanical finite element modelsPerform detailed structural analysis and critically evaluate the underlying assumptions, boundary conditions and load casesOptimise components with respect to weight, cost, strength and service lifeDevelop and apply appropriate methods for component life assessment and life declarationDefine and support rig tests and experimental programmes to demonstrate component life, durability and structural integrityPost-process, interpret and critically evaluate analysis and test resultsCorrelate simulation results with experimental data and identify potential discrepanciesSupport design improvements based on analysis and test findingsPrepare technical substantiation, qualification and certification reportsWork closely with Design, Testing, Manufacturing and other Engineering functions in a multidisciplinary and international environment
Requirements
Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or a comparable engineering disciplineStrong knowledge of mechanics, strength of materials and finite element analysis (FEA)Good understanding of component lifing and life assessment methodologiesKnowledge of fatigue, crack growth and structural integrityExperience with thermo-mechanical analysis would be advantageousKnowledge of the analysis of gearbox components, particularly gearbox housings and mounts, would be an assetStrong engineering judgement and the ability to critically assess numerical resultsPragmatic, structured and solution-oriented approach to engineering problemsAbility to work independently while contributing effectively to a multidisciplinary teamExcellent written and spoken English is essentialGerman language skills would be an advantage
