FEA modelling for aerospace technology research

Enthusiastic about aerospace and keen to use your finite element modelling knowledge?

This established company develop their own solvers for multiphysics simulations of materials under extreme conditions. They tackle problems in domains such as aerospace, defence, and energy production which would be impractical to investigate experimentally.

In this role, you would develop models and research materials behaviour in extreme environments (for instance being subjected to hypersonic flows, shock waves etc.). Your material science and physics knowledge will allow you to evaluate the accuracy of your results. Whilst this is a commercial role, there is a focus on writing up and presenting results.

You will need:
•    1st in Aerospace Engineering, or a Mechanical Engineering subject with a strong materials emphasis from a top university
•    Strong grades in Maths and Physics at A-level (or equivalent).
•    Skills in  multiphysics/computational fluid dynamics modelling.
•    This role will likely involve working on government projects needing a security clearance, so you must be a UK national (with no other nationality) residing in the UK for the past 5 years.

Specialised knowledge of aerothermodynamics, compressible flows, chemically reacting flows, and turbulent flows would be welcome but are not essential.

A competitive salary, benefits, generous holiday allowance, and training opportunities are on offer to the successful candidate. The company offer hybrid working with up to two days a week from home where tasks permit. The company place a high value on career development, and training is available where needed, as is the possibility of taking on project management tasks if desired.
