  • Proficient in CAD software for design, modelling, and technical drawing creation.
  • Strong skills in computational modelling, particularly in fluid dynamics and structural analysis (preferably Star-CCM+ and Abaqus).
  • Competence in coding (Python, Matlab) for data analysis and simulation automation.
  • Hands-on experience in experimental testing, prototyping, and the design of experiments.
  • Proven track record of problem-solving and a proactive approach to complex engineering challenges.
  • Excellent communication skills and experience with client-facing roles.
  • Experience in mentoring, reviewing technical work, and managing junior engineers.
