Tasks & accountabilities

Your main tasks will include:

·  Demonstrating the feasibility, the advantage and the limitations of such solutions in an industrial context. The XFEM technology will be compared to some experimental test results to consolidate the prediction and accuracy of such solution.
·  Once the validity of the approach will be consolidated, participating to the development or adaptation of a specific model based on the existing, in an aircraft area submitted to a complex mechanical loading, for testing the innovative solutions and for demonstrating the capabilities to support engineering team for designing an optimised repair solution or associated modification.

A trade-off will be perform with the current and classical methodology used within the engineering in terms accuracy, simulation process and simulation cost (model development time, CPU).

Required skills

You are in the 1st year of a master's or the 4th year of engineering school, university or equivalent specialising in Engineering / Mechanical Engineering.

You ideally have an initial experience and you have competencies in mechanical engineering and numerical simulation (Finite Element Method).

You are a strong team player and have excellent interpersonal skills.
