Key Responsibilities
• Lead all FEA and simulation activities across multiple product lines, ensuring
structural integrity, reliability, and manufacturability of designs.
• Act as the technical authority for structural performance and analysis methodologies, defining and maintaining standards, processes, and validation criteria.
• Drive continuous improvement in analysis capability, including automation, material modelling, and correlation between simulation and physical testing.
• Provide advanced technical guidance to mechanical design engineers, mentoring and reviewing their work to enhance team capability.
• Delegate and oversee analysis and design tasks to lower-level professionals, ensuring quality, consistency, and adherence to established engineering standards.
• Provide technical leadership (non-line management) within the engineering function, ensuring consistent application of simulation-led design principles.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with industrial design, manufacturing, and testing teams to ensure data-driven design decisions and product integrity.
• Lead major design reviews, presenting analytical findings to senior stakeholders and influencing decisions at the project and portfolio level.
• Influence product strategy and engineering decision-making through expert analysis, data-driven recommendations, and leadership in simulation-led development methodologies.
• Manage multiple complex engineering projects, balancing technical depth with delivery and commercial priorities.
• Support strategic initiatives such as sustainability improvements, weight reduction, and cost optimisation through innovative engineering solutions.
• Ensure engineering documentation (CAD data, drawings, analysis reports) meets internal standards and external regulatory requirements.
• Champion knowledge sharing within the global engineering community to strengthen simulation capability and technical excellence across regions.
