At Safran Electrical & Power, we recognise that aviation needs to innovate and change in order to protect our environment. We believe that future aircraft power systems will be hybrid-electric or full-electric, which is why we are working to develop and deliver advanced electrical solutions to help decarbonise flight.

The UK Safran Electrical & Power team has expertise in designing and developing electrical systems comprising generators, power conversion, distribution and control, with developing expertise in electric motors for aircraft propulsion.

If you want to help deliver this future, we are looking for enthusiastic and creative people to join our team.

The Role

As a Mechanical Engineer in our Product Design team at Safran Electrical & Power you will help to deliver robust designs and work packages using Catia and NX CAD software to high tolerances for use in the aerospace industry. These will be designed to meeting stringent manufacturing, quality, cost and weight targets. You will be responsible for developing innovative mechanical design solutions, to current and future aerospace industry challenges, on existing and next generation smart motor and power generation technologies. Although mostly produced from Metallic materials, some exposure to design and application of Composite materials would be beneficial to this role.

• Create and support the definition of robust mechanical design solutions, for R&D / R&T project/s, by ensuring the designs are technically robust, fit for purpose and meet both the business and customer needs.

• Deliver engineering solutions that meet 'Design to Cost' and 'Design to Manufacture/Assembly' requirements.

• Produce and maintain CAD models, drawings and parts lists that are compliant with all company standards, associated within the work packages assigned to you.

• Produce and report on Design Assurance documentation, including; design reports, test procedures and Hand/Stress calculations, such as interference fits, thermal growth, hoop and tensile stresses, thread loadings and tolerance analyses.
