Mechanical Analysis Engineer

Mechanical Analysis Engineer

We are seeking a Mechanical Analysis Engineer to join our Product Design team within the engineering function. This role focuses on using finite element analysis (FEA) to support product development, structural integrity assessments, and design optimisation. You will work closely with design teams to ensure products meet performance, safety, and reliability standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and execute FEA models for structural analysis.
• Interpret results and provide clear, actionable feedback to design engineers.
• Optimise designs and validate simulations through correlation with physical testing.
• Produce accurate technical reports and documentation.
• Support root cause analysis of failures using simulation techniques.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of simulation workflows and best practices.
• Stay up to date with the latest FEA tools, techniques, and industry developments.

About You

We are looking for a detail-oriented engineer with strong analytical skills and the ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams. You will have a proactive approach to problem-solving and the confidence to influence design through simulation results.

Essential Qualifications & Experience

• A minimum of a 2:1 degree in Engineering or a related subject.
• Strong experience with Ansys Workbench, Mechanical, and Spaceclaim.
• Proficiency with 3D CAD and PDM systems (Autodesk Vault and Inventor preferred).
• Experience analysing plated structures, welded fabrications, buckling, bolted joints, and pin-jointed assemblies.
• A solid understanding of stress analysis fundamentals, material properties, and solid mechanics.
• Experience with non-linear analysis and additional simulation tools.
• Knowledge of heavy fabrication or large welded structures.
• Previous exposure to product validation and physical testing.

What’s on Offer

• Competitive salary and benefits offered (depending on experience).
• Benefits package.
• Flexible working hours with an early finish on Fridays.
• Opportunities for professional development and career progression.
• Collaborative and dynamic work environment.
