Role Overview
We are seeking a highly skilled Simulation Engineer to support and advance our simulation-driven design activities, specifically targeting structural and thermal analysis of additive manufactured components. Your primary focus will include consumer electronics products, with particular emphasis on AR/VR systems and liquid cooling solutions. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to validate simulation accuracy, optimize designs, and improve performance outcomes.
Location: Abingdon Business Park, Abingdon
Responsibilities
* Conduct structural (FEA) and thermal simulations (CFD) to support the design and optimization of additive manufactured components and product assemblies using those components.
* Prepare and execute simulation campaigns, defining boundary conditions, materials properties, and performance metrics.
* Collaborate with design and production teams to refine simulation models.
* Define and execute experimental campaigns to validate simulations.
* Generate technical reports and present simulation findings, highlighting implications and recommendations for design enhancements.
* Generate and present technical reports to customers highlighting added value of design development
* Develop simulation-driven strategies to solve complex design challenges in consumer electronic assemblies, particularly in AR/VR (both active and passive), and liquid cooling systems.
* Improve existing simulation workflows, developing custom methodologies and algorithms to enhance accuracy and efficiency.
* Maintain documentation standards, ensuring clarity and traceability of simulation models and results
Essential
* MSc with at least 2 years of industry experience or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related discipline.
* Strong proficiency with implicit and explicit structural and thermo-fluid simulation tools (e.g., ANSYS Mechanical, ANSYS Fluent, Altair HyperWorks, Abaqus).
* Experience simulating complex, multi-part assemblies in both FEA (e.g. drop testing), and thermal performance (e.g. measuring heat dissipation)
* Ability to simplify real product assemblies to assemblies that can be simulated with minimal impact to fidelity and accuracy
* Solid understanding of thermal management and structural optimization assemblies
* Understanding of active and passive cooling systems and approaches to accurately simulate their performance.
* Understanding of implicit bodies simulations
* Creative problem-solving abilities with meticulous attention to detail.
* Excellent organizational and project management skills.
* Effective communication skills, capable of clearly conveying technical concepts to internal stakeholders and customers.
Desirable
* Expertise with CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Autodesk Fusion).
* Experience with surface-based and topology optimization modelling.
* Experience with generative design.
* Good understanding of mechanical product assemblies
* Solid understanding of consumer electronics, particularly thermal management and structural optimization of consumer electronics assemblies
* Demonstrated experience in simulation for additive manufacturing processes (LPBF).
* Background in engineering consultancy or customer-focused engineering solutions.
* Knowledge of metal characterization and testing procedures relevant to additive manufacturing.
Compensation
A highly competitive remuneration package is offered, including salary, equity incentives, and opportunities for professional growth.
Application Process
Interested candidates should submit their CV, and a supporting statement clearly highlighting how they meet the selection criteria to jobs@alloyed.com. A portfolio demonstrating relevant design and engineering work is optional but desirable. All documents should be submitted as PDFs with your name and document type in the filename.
