About Us
Diamond Light Source is the UKs national synchrotron science facility, enabling world-changing research across physics, chemistry, materials science, biology, and engineering. As we embark on the transformative Diamond-II upgrade, we are expanding our engineering team to support the next generation of cutting-edge science.
About the Role
We are seeking a skilled and motivated Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Analyst to join our multidisciplinary engineering team. You will play a key role in the mechanical design and structural integrity assessment of components critical to the Diamond-II upgrade, including high-precision accelerator and beamline systems. Many of the FEA applications at Diamond include the ability of optical and mechanical components to handle high heat loads without excessive deformation, vibration or a material durability issue.
Responsibilities will include:
1. Performing advanced FEA simulations (static, thermal) on complex mechanical systems.
2. Supporting the design and optimisation of accelerator and beamline components, including vacuum vessels, support structures, precision assemblies and X-ray optics.
3. Collaborating with mechanical engineers, scientists, and external partners to ensure robust and reliable designs.
4. Validating simulation results through experimental data and analytical methods.
5. Documenting analysis and p...
