* Conduct FEA simulations for static and dynamic load cases, including seismic and vibration analysis.
* Develop and validate steel support frames and rigid fixtures.
* Perform response spectrum analysis and damping evaluations for equipment qualification.
* Perform FE analyses using Ansys LS‑DYNA to simulate structural, dynamic and impact behaviour of components and systems.
* Collaborate with external clients to support testing.
* Prepare comprehensive technical documentation.
* Ensure adherence to health and safety standards and project‑specific compliance requirements.
Required Skills & Experience
* Proficiency in FEA tools such as ANSYS for structural and vibration analysis.
* Strong understanding of material behaviour, structural mechanics and finite element theory.
* Strong knowledge of dynamic loads, seismic analysis, random vibration and response spectrum analyses.
* Familiarity with steel frame design, welding standards, and material properties for carbon and stainless steel.
* Familiarity with vibration testing instrumentation and accelerometer data interpretation.
* Proficiency in Ansys LS‑DYNA for explicit dynamic simulations, in particular for impact and explosion loads.
* Ability to work collaboratively within multidisciplinary teams and manage client/supplier interactions under tight deadlines.
* Understanding of nuclear industry standards and quality assurance processes.
* Eligibility for UK security clearance at Security Check (SC) level.
* Experience in Computational Fluid Dynamics would be beneficial.
Qualifications
* Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical, Structural, Civil Engineering, or a related field.
* Minimum of 5 years of experience performing FE analyses in an engineering consulting or industrial setting.
* Previous experience supporting high‑integrity engineering projects.
