Overview A Joint Venture between Thales (67%) and Leonardo (33%), Thales Alenia Space is a global space manufacturer delivering, for more than 40 years, high-tech solutions for telecommunications, navigation, Earth Observation, environmental management, exploration, science and orbital infrastructures. Thanks to our diversity of skills, talents and cultures, our customers (governments, institutions, space agencies, telecommunications operators), therefore have Space to Connect, Secure & Defend, Observe & Protect, Explore, Travel & Navigate. We are looking for a Structural Analysis Engineer Responsibilities The candidate will support the Structural Analysis Group activities by:
Modelling activities, in terms of finite elements, of structural hardwares, using pre-post commercial software. Performing Structural analyses with MSC Nastran, in particular static and dynamic analyses, including generation of reduced models ( Craig Bampton and superelements) Supporting design activities, taking into account manufacturing aspects (e.g. bolt selection and calculation) Performing Multi-body Analyses to contribute to the mechanism design and to study the impact manoeuvres Performing Vibro-acoustic analyses Supporting test activities, defining instrumentation plan, and attending to the test activities to evaluate in real time the empirical results and to guarantee the integrity of the structure. Evaluating the test results and updating the mathematical models on the basis of the correlation test-analysis results
