Senior Engineer CAE Simulation and Analysis £50,000-£60,000 ++ very dep on exp+ Bonus + Benefits
Global Manufacturer - South Wales
A rare and great opportunity to join this leading manufacturer delivering Computer Aided Engineering Simulation and analysis—including thermal conduction/heat transfer, CFD (aerodynamics/thermal-fluid), and FEA (structural/durability)—to support the design and optimisation of Thermal-management products, components, and integrated systems across a variety of platforms for global applications. The CAE Simulation and Analysis Engineer will validate performance against defined targets and customer requirements. Optimisation to maximise customer value in system performance, efficiency, and robustness. You will lead simulation tool selection and governance, establish and standardise analysis methods/workflows, documentation, and validation practices. The opportunity to train/mentor engineers to build scalable CAE capability and consistent, high-quality analysis across the organisation
You will be educated to Degree or Masters in an Engineering discipline
