Senior FEA Engineer

Job Type: Contract Rate: £50-60 p/hour (IR35 TBC) Introduction: Our client is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Senior Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Engineer to join their dynamic engineering team. The ideal candidate will have experience in utilising FEA tools to simulate and optimise the structural, thermal, and fluid behaviour of components and systems. You will play a critical role in ensuring the reliability, performance, and safety of our products across various platforms. Key Responsibilities: FEA Simulation: Perform finite element simulations on mechanical components and systems to evaluate performance under various loading conditions, including stress, strain, vibration, thermal, and fatigue analysis. Model Creation & Meshing: Develop accurate FEA models based on CAD designs, applying appropriate boundary conditions and material properties. Generate high-quality meshes for complex geometries. Analysis & Optimisation: Interpret simulation results, identify potential issues, and suggest design modifications. Collaborate with design teams to optimise product performance, manufacturability, and cost. Multibody Dynamics (MBD) Modelling: Develop and analyse multibody dynamic models (MBD) to simulate the motion and interaction of rigid and flexible bodies within mechanical systems. Use MBD tools to optimise system performance and understand dynamic behaviour. Reporting & Documentation: Generate detailed reports with analysis results, visualisations…
