LOCATION
This role will be based in our Cambridge office.
JOB ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Hands-On Skills: Utilise hands-on skills to build, test, and troubleshoot complex systems.
Inquisitive and Questioning: Demonstrate curiosity and the ability to ask critical questions to ensure a deep understanding of project requirements.
Separation of Concerns and System Decomposition: Break down complex systems into manageable components, ensuring clear separation of concerns and facilitating efficient system design.
Engineering and prototyping: Design and build functional prototypes to validate concepts and technologies. Conduct feasibility studies and proof-of-concept experiments for new technologies (e.g., heating elements, sensors, power systems). Utilize CAD software to model components and assemblies.
Understanding Data: Analyse and interpret data to make informed decisions and recommendations for system improvements.
CAD & Modelling: Utilize Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software and modelling tools to create detailed system designs and prototyheapes.
Simulation: Using a first principal understanding of thermal or fluid systems and tools like spreadsheets, FEA or CDF build digital models of subsystems to reduce the time from theory to a quality outcome.
REQUIREMENTS
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or a related field.
2 years’ experience or more in a similar role, preferably in consumer electronics or handheld devices.
Ability to integrate heating, sensing & control methods as part of a mechanical and/or electronic system to create novel early-stage technologies and concepts
Experience designing, building, and testing electromechanical prototypes
Experience working in lab environment
CAD skills (ideally Solidworks and/or Creo)
At least 2 years of experience with at least one FEA software package: ANSYS, ANSA, Abaqus and or related software (Ideally ANSYS)
