We are currently looking for an experienced FEA Engineer (Motorsport) on behalf of our client, to support the development and validation of next-generation high-performance vehicle systems. This role sits at the intersection of simulation, design and manufacturing, where precision engineering meets cutting-edge innovation.
The FEA Engineer (Motorsport) will:
- Develop and refine FEA methods, standards and workflows to enhance simulation capability and efficiency.
- Build, execute and interpret linear, nonlinear and explicit models to assess strength, stiffness and crash performance.
- Support design optimisation for composite and metallic structures, including bonded assemblies.
- Correlate simulations with physical testing and validate results using hand calculations and engineering judgement.
- Provide clear, concise analysis reports and actionable recommendations to design and project teams.
- Collaborate with design, aerodynamics and manufacturing teams to ensure structural integrity and performance targets are met.
The FEA Engineer (Motorsport) will have:
- Degree in Mechanical, Automotive or Aerospace Engineering (or equivalent).
- Strong experience in structural FEA using Hypermesh (OptiStruct / Radioss) and Simcenter Nastran.
- Proven ability to develop methods and improve analysis workflows.
- Solid understanding of composite materials, bonded joints, and nonlinear/explicit analysis.
- Skilled in hand calculations to support and validate simulation results.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain complex findings clearly and confidently.
If you\'re ready to bring simulation excellence to the forefront of high-performance engineering, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now to join a team where precision meets innovation, and your expertise drives real-world impact.
