Assystem UK is part of Assystem SA with group headquarters in Paris. Assystem is a leader in Engineering and Innovation Consulting across Europe. Worldwide the group employs over 10,000 people. Assystem is currently looking for Stress Engineers. 

Mechanical Stress Engineering within Gas Turbine Systems is a challenging role due to the operating conditions experienced within the turbine. Working within one or a number of multi-disciplinary teams, the engineer will deliver world-class component designs, by applying the latest analysis techniques, software and methods. 

The engineer shall have a native understanding of Mandarin (Standard Chinese) and shall be able to interpret Mandarin to English and vice versa without changing the intent of the message. 

-   Provide support to the design of Gas Turbine components providing analysis and documentation to support component Lifing and Certification

-   Liaise with customers to ensure delivery of commitments

-   Stress Engineers ensure mechanical integrity of Gas Turbine components from initial concept, through detail design to in-service support and the Aftermarket

-   The successful candidate will therefore be required to carry out stress analyses of parts, using established methods, including finite element modelling, and where necessary determine and specify component testing (this may also involve development of novel methods and techniques)

-   Manage several varied activities simultaneously, work in a team based environment, have good written and verbal communication skills and be capable of making sound technical judgements

-   The selected candidate should be able to demonstrate a strong interest in technical analysis and learning new specialist skills

-   Candidates who hold experience working with Gas Turbines will have a distinct advantage

-   The candidate should demonstrate a strong understanding in reading and writing Mandarin (Standard Chinese)

-   Decision Quality 

-   Creativity 

-   Technical Learning 

-   Composure and Customer Focus 

-   Knowledge of engine core components 

-   Principles of operation are desirable but not essential

Successful candidates should have knowledge / experience in disciplines such as:

-   Static stress analysis

-   Ultimate and proof assessment 

-   Fatigue assessment (LCF and HCF) but not essential 

-   Fracture mechanics analysis but not essential 

-   Thermal analysis but not essential 

-   Vibration assessment 

-   Linear and non-linear Finite Element analysis 

-   Manual calculation for basic component sizing 

-   Project management / budget control but not essential 

-   Effective communication and commercial awareness 

-   Composite material analysis but not essential 

-   Knowledge of at least some of the following software is essential

-   PATRAN / NASTRAN
