Critical Parts Lifing Engineer (stress & lifing) ensure the integrity of our products. They work across a wide variety of Critical Part Components such as discs, blisks , drums, mainline shafts and stub-shafts. They predict the mechanical behaviour of components and sub-systems taking into account various failure mechanisms (e.g., proof, ultimate, fatigue (low & high cycle), creep etc.) and contributing factors (e.g., vibration, thermal induced loads, inherent manufacturing anomalies, corrosion, extreme operating conditions such as over-speed etc.). The role of a Critical Parts Lifing Engineer includes being influential at all stages in the design cycle, through the products service life to component disposal.
Responsibilities:
- Perform analytical assessments (stress, lifing) to support new design concepts, and maintain support to in-service operations.
