We are currently looking for an experienced FEA Engineer on behalf of our client, to support the development and validation of next-generation high-performance vehicle systems. This role sits at the intersection of simulation, design and manufacturing, where precision engineering meets cutting-edge innovation.
The FEA Engineer will:
* Develop and refine FEA methods, standards and workflows to enhance simulation capability and efficiency.
* Build, execute and interpret linear, nonlinear and explicit models to assess strength, stiffness and crash performance.
* Support design optimisation for composite and metallic structures, including bonded assemblies.
* Correlate simulations with physical testing and validate results using hand calculations and engineering judgement.
* Provide clear, concise analysis reports and actionable recommendations to design and project teams.
* Collaborate with design, aerodynamics and manufacturing teams to ensure structural integrity and performance targets are met.
The FEA Engineer will have:
* Degree in Mechanical, Automotive or Aerospace Engineering (or equivalent).
* Strong experience in structural FEA using Hypermesh (OptiStruct / Radioss) and Simcenter Nastran.
* Proven ability to develop methods and improve analysis workflows.
* Solid understanding of composite materials, bonded joints, and nonlinear/explicit analysis.
* Skilled in hand calculations to support and validate simulation results.
* Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain complex findings clearly and confidently.
If you're ready to bring simulation excellence to the forefront of high-performance engineering, we'd love to hear from you. Apply now to join a team where precision meets innovation, and your expertise drives real-world impact.
