Proficiency in stress analysis software (ideally ANSYS) and conventional hand calculation techniques.

*

Experience analysing complex engineering structures and mechanical assemblies (e.g., heavy industry, power transmission systems, gears, gearboxes).

*

Strong understanding of numerical finite element techniques for static analysis.

*

Knowledge of aerospace and defence industry standards (e.g., AS9100, ISO 9001).

*

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering or related field.
