Design Engineer

Job Role: Design Engineer

Location: Bristol

Career Level: Senior Analyst / Specialist

Salary: Competitive, plus benefits.

Role Purpose:

The role is responsible for delivering aerospace design engineering support within a 3DEXPERIENCE / CATIA environment. The individual will create, assess and update engineering design data, support stress and structural analysis activities, and ensure design outputs are controlled, compliant and suitable for manufacturing and production use.

In this role you will:

• Create, modify and maintain 3D models, 2D drawings and engineering design definitions using CATIA within a 3DEXPERIENCE / Dassault environment.

• Support design and stress analysis activities for aerospace structures, components or assemblies, ensuring solutions are technically robust, manufacturable and compliant with customer requirements.

• Work within a PLM-controlled engineering environment to manage design data, revisions, configuration, approvals and release status.

• Assess engineering change impacts across design, manufacturing, assembly and in-service considerations, supporting practical and compliant design solutions.

• Collaborate with Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, Production and Stress teams to resolve design queries, non-conformities, concessions and production issues.

• Support design reviews, technical investigations and problem-solving activities by preparing clear engineering evidence, analysis inputs and design documentation.

What’s in it for you

At Accenture in addition to a competitive basic salary, you will also have an extensive benefits package which includes 25 days vacation per year, private medical insurance and 3 extra days leave per year for charitable work of your choice!
