Your Responsibilities

• Develop innovative heat exchanger solutions from initial concept through to production, supporting both new and existing products.
• Create and maintain manufacturable 3D designs, 2D drawings, bills of materials, and technical documentation using Autodesk Inventor and PDM systems.
• Improve product performance, efficiency, reliability, and manufacturability by applying expertise in mechanical assemblies, manufacturing processes, and sheet‑metal design.
• Transform complex CAD assemblies into accurate and efficient FEA‑ready models while preserving structural behavior and relevant load paths.
• Define appropriate FEA representations, including simulation topology, thicknesses, connections, and interfaces.
• Collaborate with structural analysts to agree on modelling assumptions, required outputs, and suitable analysis approaches.
• Resolve geometry and meshing issues, verify model integrity, and clearly document assumptions before analysis.
• Provide technical support for prototypes, initial manufacturing, existing products, and global product transfers.
• Manage assigned workstreams, priorities, risks, budgets, and deadlines in line with project requirements.
• Collaborate across global, multidisciplinary teams while maintaining accurate and controlled documentation.
• Support standardization, design automation, continuous improvement, and the development of efficient CAD‑to‑FEA workflows.
• Promote safety and use sound engineering judgement when addressing technical challenges.

Your Profile

• Degree or relevant qualification in Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent professional experience.
• Strong Autodesk Inventor skills, including 3D modelling, 2D drafting, complex assemblies, and surface modelling.
• Experience simplifying and defeaturing CAD geometry for engineering or structural analysis.
• Good understanding of engineering drawings, mechanical assemblies, manufacturing processes, and BOM/BOL structures.
• Familiarity with Autodesk Vault or a comparable product data management system.
• Ability to clearly document technical information, design decisions, and engineering assumptions.
• Experience in FEA modelling, structural analysis, or model preparation would be an advantage.
• Understanding of structural mechanics, load paths, and shell, beam, and solid idealization is desirable.
• Familiarity with meshing, model quality, and analysis software such as ANSYS, Abaqus, or LS‑DYNA would be beneficial.
• Experience in sheet‑metal design, prototyping, manufacturing support, or global product transfers is desirable.
• Autodesk Inventor programming or design automation experience would be an advantage.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, with excellent attention to detail.
• Ability to take ownership of workstreams and collaborate effectively within global, multidisciplinary, and matrix teams.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.
• Willingness to travel when required.
