• Familiarity with the Altair HyperWorks tools (HyperMesh, HyperView, OptiStruct, RADIOSS);
• The ability to perform hand-calculations to support component sizing and backup FE results
• Experience of developing around and optimising for manufacturing techniques:
• Machining
• Casting
• Forging
• Welding and brazing
• Surface treatment
• Heat treatment
• Bolted joints
• Adhesive joints
  

Advantageous Skills:

• Experience in CAD, preferably Solidworks
