Sr Stress Mechanical Engineer Honeywell Aerospace | Yeovil, UK | Hybrid Role (3 days office, 2 days remote)
About the Role
The Turbomachinery and Heat Exchanger Analysis and Design team within Mechanical Systems and Components (MS&C) focuses on designing, developing, and analysing Environmental Control System (ECS) turbomachinery, heat exchangers, as well as emergency oxygen backup systems.
As a Sr Stress Mechanical Engineer, you’ll spearhead stress assessment, vibration analysis, and heat transfer evaluations—bridging theoretical expertise with practical problem-solving across diverse projects. Key work involves:
- Driving extractive stress, vibration, and thermo-fluid analyses using both finite element modelling (e.g., ANSYS) and classical hand-calculation methods.
- Providing technical leadership across global engineering teams, ensuring compliance with customer and regulatory requirements.
- Mentoring junior engineers, contributing to design reviews, and engaging with internal/external stakeholders through presentations and risk management.
- Championing process improvements while meeting product lifecycle goals.
Key Responsibilities
-
Stress and Vibration Analysis
- Perform linear/static, nonlinear/elasto-plastic, fatigue (HCF/LCF), modal, shock/impact, harmonic, random vibration, and fracture mechanics analyses—including crack growth assessments.
- Apply classical hand-calculations alongside ANSYS-based FEA for validation.
-
Thermal and Fluid Dynamics
- Execute heat transfer analysis (single-phase/multi-phase flows, thermodynamics), using analytical correlations and complex models.

- Project & Technical Leadership
- Act as a technical SME, verifying project requirements and mitigating risks.
- Oversee compliance audits and root cause disciplines for corrective actions.
Key Technical Requirements
Education & Foundational Skills
- Bachelor’s (or equivalent) degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering (or a closely related field) with emphasis on heat transfer, thermal sciences, or stress analysis.
- Minimum 5–8 years of hands-on experience in highly regulated environments (preferably in aerospace, power systems, or defence sectors).
Proficiency
- Expertise in:
- Stress: linear/nonlinear, fatigue (high-cycle/low-cycle), impact.
- Vibration: modal, transient dynamic, random vibration.
- Thermal/Fluid Systems: steady-state/transient heat transfer, phase-change.
- Tools & Standards
- ANSYS Workbench (links between Stress & Thermal), ANSYS Mechanical, Classical hand methods (NASA UG, MIL-STD, ASME, etc.).
Soft Skills
- Ability to mentor and accelerate team performance in a matrixed environment.
- ** independency with cross-functional partners** while driving customer-facing deliverables.
Desired Traits (Value Adders)
- Collaborative mindset: thrive in team environments that balance autonomy with accountability.
- Analytical rigor: diagnostic skills for problems (cordio studies, statistical analysis, or failure modes).
- Culture influence: proactive in process enhancement, focussing on innovation and continuous improvement.
- Communication side: concisely articulate technical concepts (written technical reports to stakeholder presentations).
- Regulatory identity: experience with AS/EN/NSB-level standards, audits, and critical-chain project management.
