The FEA Process Engineer will support the business by managing Finite Element Analysis (FEA) activity, strengthening analysis processes, and providing technical engineering support across product development, design validation, testing, and manufacturing requirements. This role will focus on Abaqus-based simulation, model review, fatigue and non-linear analysis, reporting, correlation activity, process improvement, and engineering recommendations that support product performance and continuous improvement.
- Conduct and support FEA activities using Abaqus and other relevant CAE tools to assess structural performance, fatigue, durability, and product behaviour.
- Develop, maintain, and improve FEA procedures, templates, workflow standards, reporting tools, and analysis documentation.
- Support non-linear analysis, fatigue analysis, structural analysis, and other advanced simulation requirements across engineering projects.
- Review CAD and FEA model outputs, including geometry preparation, mesh quality, material properties, boundary conditions, load cases, and result accuracy.
- Interpret simulation results and provide clear engineering recommendations to support design decisions, issue resolution, and product improvement.
- Coordinate FEA task planning, scheduling, prioritisation, and progress tracking to ensure analysis work is completed in line with project timelines.
- Maintain reporting systems, trackers, and technical records covering FEA status, model reviews, analysis outcomes, and correlation activity.
- Support model correlation and validation by comparing simulation results with physical test results, historical data, or engineering expectations.
- Identify opportunities to improve modelling efficiency, analysis accuracy, reporting quality, and overall FEA process capability.
- Prepare technical reports, analysis summaries, result presentations, and engineering documentation for internal review and decision-making.
- Work with design, product, manufacturing, testing, and engineering teams to clarify analysis requirements and support practical design outcomes.
- Provide FEA input into engineering change processes, product improvement activity, and technical issue investigations.
- Maintain organised FEA files, model assumptions, simulation outputs, results, reports, and supporting technical documentation.
- Stay updated with FEA, CAE, Abaqus, mechanical analysis, product engineering, and advanced manufacturing best practices.
- Other position-level duties as they arise.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Materials Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a related discipline is preferred.
- Minimum 4+ years’ experience in finite element analysis, CAE engineering, mechanical design analysis, structural analysis, product engineering, or a similar role.
- Strong hands-on experience using Abaqus or Abaqus/CAE for FEA modelling, simulation setup, analysis, result interpretation, and reporting.
- Experience with fatigue analysis, non-linear analysis, structural analysis, durability assessment, or product performance simulation is highly regarded.
- Strong understanding of mechanical engineering principles, material behaviour, load cases, boundary conditions, mesh quality, and simulation assumptions.
- Experience reviewing CAD and FEA models, identifying modelling issues, and improving analysis accuracy, consistency, or reliability.
- Experience with CAD tools such as SolidWorks, CATIA, Siemens NX, or similar platforms is advantageous.
- Ability to interpret complex simulation results and translate findings into practical engineering recommendations.
- Experience developing or improving FEA processes, analysis procedures, reporting templates, workflow systems, or technical documentation.
- Experience supporting product development, design validation, engineering change processes, testing, or manufacturing issue resolution.
- Experience in automotive, composites, advanced manufacturing, wheels, aerospace, mechanical products, or structural engineering environments is highly regarded.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to investigate technical issues and recommend practical solutions.
- High attention to detail when reviewing models, analysis inputs, assumptions, calculations, results, and technical reports.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical findings clearly to engineering and non-engineering stakeholders.
- Strong organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple analysis requests, priorities, documentation, and deadlines.
- Proactive, methodical, and continuous-improvement focused, with a strong interest in strengthening FEA capability and engineering outcomes.
