Job description

Overview

Creating simulations of how advanced technologies behave under extreme conditions. We are seeking an academically bright candidate with an excellent understanding of CFD/FEA modelling and the properties of aerospace materials. In this role, you would carry out specialised CFD and multiphysics modelling investigations to determine the behaviour of structures under extreme conditions, use your engineering knowledge and judgement to assess your results, and generate and potentially present scientific reports based on your findings. This is a multidisciplinary team environment solving problems that cannot be tackled experimentally, with applications in space, maritime, and defence.

Responsibilities

• Perform CFD and multiphysics simulations to study the behaviour of structures under extreme conditions.
• Use engineering judgement to assess results and draw robust conclusions.
• Generate scientific reports based on modelling findings and present them when required.

Qualifications

• A strong academic background: at minimum a 2.1 degree in Aerospace Engineering or similar from a well-ranked university, with strong pre-university grades (A*s and As at A-level).
• A solid understanding of computational fluid dynamics, finite element modelling, and related areas such as multiphysics, compressible/chemically reactive/turbulent flows, shock physics, or hydrocode modelling.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• As you may be involved in government projects, you must be a UK national (with no other nationality) residing in the UK for the past 5 years.

Location and Benefits

This role is based on the south coast, with a competitive salary, benefits package (including a generous holiday allowance), and training opportunities. There is scope for up to two days a week of remote work where tasks permit.
