Simulation Engineer

Simulation Engineer

Job Summary: This role is within the Simulation Department, responsible for supporting design optimisation and assessments using both simulation techniques and physical test data.

Key Responsibilities:

• Perform simulations, particularly focusing on FEA and 1D hydromechanical analysis, to assist in the design, development, validation, and manufacturing of hydraulic components for fuel systems.
• Collaborate with design and development teams, providing simulation-based recommendations for design and testing improvements.
• Engage with other teams (e.g., Materials, Validation) and clients to exchange data, enhancing the accuracy and impact of simulations.
• Report findings to the Team Leader, documenting methods, assumptions, results, and conclusions.
• Prepare and deliver presentations on work findings to diverse audiences, both in-person and remotely.
• Contribute to the development and implementation of new analysis methods to boost simulation capabilities and overall product performance.
• Manage work activities, contribute to project planning, and ensure timely delivery of work packages.
• Support the coordination of meetings, including the preparation of agendas and minutes.

Skills and Qualifications:

Required:

• Experience applying simulation methods and physical principles to the design of hydraulic components.
• In-depth knowledge of ANSYS Mechanical simulation software.
• Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in a relevant engineering discipline.
• Minimum of 2 years' industrial experience using FEA.

Desirable:

• Familiarity with AMESim/GT simulation software.
• Experience with Maxwell for magnetic analysis.
• Knowledge of Tribology.
• Experience analyzing high-pressure fuel injection systems and understanding related hydraulic components and simulation methods.
• Understanding of high-pressure gas dynamics.
• Proficiency in Matlab for software development and analysis.
• CAD/Solid Modelling experience, ideally with SolidWorks or NX.
• Understanding of detail drawing and geometric tolerancing.
• Familiarity with manufacturing processes such as grinding, heat treatment, and injection moulding.
