- Use CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD, Revit, or similar) to assist in creating 2D and 3D models of structural designs.
- Help prepare design drawings, layouts, and technical specifications based on project requirements.
Structural Analysis:
- Assist in performing structural calculations and analysis to ensure the stability, safety, and performance of designs.
- Conduct basic assessments of load-bearing capacity, stress, strain, and material strength under the supervision of senior engineers.
- Learn and apply engineering principles to analyze structures for safety, durability, and compliance with building codes.
Construction Support and Site Visits:
- Participate in site visits to assist in inspections, reviewing construction progress, and ensuring that structural components are being built according to design specifications.
- Help monitor the quality of work and identify any issues that may arise during construction.
- Support senior engineers with any required on-site evaluations or measurements.
Documentation and Reporting:
- Assist in preparing and organizing technical documentation, including structural reports, drawings, calculations, and analysis results.
- Maintain accurate records of design revisions, inspection reports, and project progress.
- Help prepare reports to present findings and provide updates to clients, project managers, and other stakeholders.
Collaboration with Teams:
- Collaborate with architects, civil engineers, and other specialists to ensure the design integrates well with other systems (mechanical, electrical, etc.).
- Participate in design review meetings and assist senior engineers in ensuring the structural designs are aligned with project goals.
- Work closely with the construction team to ensure design feasibility and assist in problem-solving during construction.
Learning and Development:
- Participate in training sessions and mentorship from senior engineers to develop your technical skills in structural design and analysis.
- Stay up to date with industry trends, new materials, and design innovations.
- Gradually take on more responsibility in design tasks and project management as your skills and experience grow.
Key Focus Areas:
Aerodynamics:
- Assist in optimizing aerodynamic systems for aircraft or spacecraft performance using modeling software.
Propulsion Systems:
- Contribute to the development and testing of propulsion systems, focusing on efficiency and reliability.
Structural Engineering:
- Design and test structural components to ensure strength, durability, and safety.
Systems Integration:
- Support integration of mechanical, electrical, and avionics systems to ensure seamless operation.
Stress and Fatigue Analysis:
- Perform analysis on components to ensure they can withstand operational stresses and fatigue.
Quality Assurance & Control:
- Ensure adherence to industry standards through inspections, testing protocols, and quality control procedures.
Qualifications and Skills:
Educational Requirements:
- Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a related field.
- Fresh graduates or those with less than two years of professional experience are encouraged to apply.
Technical Skills:
- Basic knowledge of structural engineering principles, including statics, mechanics of materials, and concrete/steel design.
- Familiarity with CAD software (AutoCAD, Revit, or similar) for drafting and modeling structural components.
- Basic understanding of structural analysis methods and tools.
- Knowledge of building codes and safety regulations is a plus but not required.
Soft Skills:
- Strong attention to detail and accuracy in design and calculations.
- Good communication skills, both written and verbal, for interacting with team members and presenting ideas.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
- Eagerness to learn, grow, and take on new responsibilities.
Certifications (Optional but Beneficial):
- Certification in CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD, Revit) is beneficial but not required.
- Knowledge of relevant design codes (e.g., AISC, Eurocode) is a plus.
