Senior Analysis Engineer required on a contract basis to join an industry leading engineering and manufacturing business.

Are you looking for an exciting opportunity at the forefront of battery technology? Do you have a background strategically controlling the design and development of components and systems? Have you got strong analytical skills, experienced in using multi-physics optimization tools and previous experience in thermal/ mechanical analysis? If you are seeking an exciting challenge then this is the role for you!

In this role you will need a solid background and understanding in:

Engineering fundamentals (dynamics, mechanics and thermodynamics)
Design experience, able to make adjustments to existing models and provide sound design direction to improve components/systems ability to meet requirements
Ability to break down mechanical and thermal requirements into analytical tasks and pass-fail criteria to asses designs
Experienced in interpreting and correlating to empirical data (time based accelerometer data, Frequency response plots, thermocouple data… etc.)
Skilled in Ansys Workbench tools in both structural and thermal analysis essential ( transient structural, Harmonic response, random vibration.. etc.)
Skilled in Explicit Dynamics for crash and drop analysis (LS Dyna, Ansys Explicit Dynamics)
Experienced in using multi-physics optimization tools
Good reporting skills with the ability to portray analysis results to a wide range of audience and effectively providing guidance to key stakeholders
Experienced in scripting and automating repetitive tasks is a bonus.The role:

This applied science position conducts numerical computations via third party and in-house tools to determine structural performance of components and systems.
Evaluates software and methods and provides improvement recommendations.
The results from the computer models are used to determine the validity of the design to meet the customer requirements.
Design recommendations are then provided as needed.
Obtains input and negotiates with Design, Thermal Sciences, Materials and Product Validation and delivers key structural performance parameters like motion, load, natural frequencies, stress, design margin, life, sound power, etc. to Design and Product Validation.
Makes decisions in the area of structural design (materials and their processing as well as geometry) that impact structural performance (motion, load, natural frequencies, stress, design margin, life, sound power, etc.) of components and systems
Applies and improves computer modelling processes that estimate motion, load, natural frequencies, stress, design margin, life, sound power, etc. and tools such as ANSYS, FE-Safe, GT-Suite, and AVL Excite required to support the processes and enable high quality decision making.
Provides independent leadership of smaller business impact projects or ownership of complex components, products, systems or services with greater elements of ambiguity over the senior or lead engineer level and with full accountability to the project team.
Delivers independent execution of established and emerging work processes and systems, while still developing technology or product knowledge.
Leads the development and improvement of work processes and systems across a functional discipline area within a business unit site.
Coordinates and directs work amongst technicians and temporary student employees, assists in the transfer of knowledge to lesser experienced engineers through either indirect (scope of influence) or direct management of a small, local group of engineers.
Provides support and guidance to influence technical direction within a project team and continues to develop proficiency in the competency areas critical to success in the role.
Operates as a recognized specialist in a discipline or product area within the immediate team.Essential experience:

College, university, or equivalent Bachelor's degree in Engineering or other relevant technical disciplines is required.
Prior Senior or Lead Engineer equivalent work experience in a relevant discipline area is required with a demonstrated track record of technical problem solving and quality decision making.
Preferred candidates would have a mix of experience using MS Office tools, Matlab, Python, APDLANSYS, FORTRAN or C programming, Windows/Linux operating systems, and desktop/remote high performance computing hardware systems.This is an awesome opportunity to be part of a leading manufacturing business which offers an interesting, varied and exciting workload coupled with a motivated and passionate culture. You will be part of a small, friendly team working together to deliver programmes that are critical to the long-term success of a respected, global company.
