Job Description
Working as part of a multiskilled team, you will be responsible for working on FEM (Finite Element Modelling/Analysis) and Digital Analysis activities in Wing to support Stress analysis and justifications for metallic and composite structures. Your primary role will be to work closely with Loads, Design, and Stress Analysis teams to build and/or develop Finite Element Models as well as to extract results to help justify stress analyses. FEMs include Global FEMs (GFEMs), Detailed FEMs (DFEMs), and Integrated FEMs (IFEMs). Additional tasks may include managing offload packages of work to suppliers, including FEM factory, in-service repair with customer services, and guiding and supporting suppliers to provide Finite Element Results, etc. You will ensure adherence to FEM governance, airworthiness regulations, relevant design principles, processes, methods, and manufacturing capabilities guidelines. Prior Airbus experience is of added advantage. Automation skills, including EVE workflow development, are also an added advantage.
About Us
We are a dynamic multifunctional team delivering Finite Element Models, results, processes, and tools to support the Airbus fleet. A unique selling point for our team is that we work across all Airbus commercial aircraft, including R&T.
What You Will Be Doing
- Responsible for leading FEM (Finite Element Modelling/Analysis) and Digital Analysis activities to support stress analysis
- Provide technical guidance and support to the Airbus internal teams, including the offshore teams, and any suppliers as required.
- Supporting and developing the training for early careers and new starters. Also, supporting the signature development of yourself and other FEM engineers.
- Where necessary, leading packages of work, and integrating with analysis teams.
- Developing methods and processes for Finite Element Analysis of the future, working with method experts and tool owners to enhance the analysis capability of the FEM team.
- Deploy EVE, NGSA (New Generation Stress Analysis), and FDNS (Flight Dynamics and Sizing) for future programs.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
