Reading Berkshire, United Kingdom AWE Full time €34,000 - €65,000

AWE is currently recruiting for Finite Element Analysis Engineers

The Engineering Analysis Team support AWE's mission by providing a range of computational mechanics services to the business, such as finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), thermal and blast analysis. The team work on challenging, weapons-related projects which underpin continuous-at-sea-deterrence and contribute to the security of the nation.

We have multiple vacancies for finite element analysis (FEA) engineers, at both junior and senior levels, to work on a variety of exciting and unique structural mechanics and thermal analysis projects.

We are located between Reading and Basingstoke, with onsite parking.

The types of analysis the team undertake are varied and may include:

Linear and non-linear static structural stress analysis

Transient dynamic explicit analysis

Frequency-domain analysis (modal, harmonic, shock response, etc.)

Transient and steady-state thermal analysis

The Engineering Analysis Team has a diverse set of skills, and we welcome applications from candidates who can demonstrate knowledge or experience in one or more of the following areas:

Use of finite element analysis codes such as ANSYS, Abaqus, LS-DYNA, etc. to solve structural and thermal analysis problems

Use of pre-processors such as Hypermesh, ANSYS Mechanical, Abaqus/CAE, etc. Use of Python scripting for automating pre-/post-processing of finite element models and for analysis workflow efficiency

Use of Linux-based high-performance computing (HPC) clusters to solve large finite element models

To be considered for the senior roles, we would like you to be able to demonstrate experience of:

Conducting research and development of new and novel techniques in the field of engineering simulation

Providing technical leadership and leading outreach initiatives with academia and industrial partners

Mentoring junior analysts and reviewing analysis work

Consulting with customers to understand their modelling and simulation requirements and translate these into packages of analysis work

Candidates must be willing and able to travel within the UK and overseas as required.

Time to recharge your batteries with 270 hours of annual leave (plus every other Friday off work)

Consideration for flexible working arrangements so that your work may fit in with your lifestyle. Just let us know on your application if you wish to work part time

Opportunities for Professional Career Development that include funding for the annual membership of a relevant professional body, access to mentors and training

Employee Assistance Programme and Occupational Health Services

A generous defined contribution Group Personal Pension (we will pay between 9% and 13% of your pensionable pay depending on your own contribution)

Life Assurance

Discounts - access to savings on a wide range of everyday spending

Special Leave Policy including paid time off for volunteering, public service (including reserve forces) and caring for your family

Relocation package available (terms and conditions apply)

Potential opportunities to travel with work for conferences and collaboration

Interviews will be 90 minutes in length and will be held over Microsoft Teams.
