Description
To develop and justify shock and mounting system design solutions for the support of submarine internal equipment & systems, typically including: the development of mounting systems and supporting structures to provide shock protection and vibration isolation for equipment & systems; and strength assessment of structures, fasteners and materials. Generally this requires working in multi functional teams to determine the best integrated solution. Specialist roles in the department also involve advanced finite element modelling and analysis and mathematical coding.
The role requires a pro-active approach to seek out all required supporting information while demonstrating personal resourcefulness and a desire to develop and widen professional capabilities.
Specific duties include:
* Undertake mounting system and structural design to provide shock and vibration isolation for Submarine equipment & systems, including large resiliently mounted modules.
* Perform assessments of support structures, structural seats/foundations, fasteners and welds using a mixture of finite element analysis, in-house software, classical stress calculation techniques and application of standard code formulae.
* Assess the structural adequacy of simple mechanical items and systems.
* Liaise with industrial partners and the UK MoD to coordinate technical development and research activities, or define/influence design requirements, methods and acceptance criterion.
* Support the shock design function through all stages of the product life cycle, including providing specialist design advice, conducting detailed analysis and providing evidence for acceptance and fitness for purpose.
* Specialist roles use advanced finite element analysis (FEA) methods, including fluid structure interaction to simulate underwater explosions, and mathematical coding for standalone applications or to support FEA.
* Represent the shock and dynamics group, working in multi-functional teams to determine the best integrated solution, seeking supporting data and background information to effectively complete shock design activities.
