Simulation Engineer - Electronics

Simulation Engineer – Electronics

Oxford

£45-55k + Excellent Benefits

We are looking for a highly skilled Simulation Engineer to support and advance simulation-driven design activities, specifically targeting structural and thermal analysis of additive manufactured components. Your primary focus will include consumer electronics products, with particular emphasis on AR/VR systems and liquid cooling solutions. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to validate simulation accuracy, optimize designs, and improve performance outcomes.

Responsibilities

• Conduct structural (FEA) and thermal simulations (CFD) to support the design

• Generate and present technical reports to customers highlighting added value of design development

• Develop simulation-driven strategies to solve complex design challenges in consumer electronic assemblies, particularly in AR/VR (both active and passive), and liquid cooling systems.

• Improve existing simulation workflows, developing custom methodologies and algorithms to enhance accuracy and efficiency.

Essential

• MSc with at least 2 years of industry experience or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related discipline.

• Strong proficiency with implicit and explicit structural and thermo-fluid simulation tools (e.g., ANSYS Mechanical, ANSYS Fluent, Altair HyperWorks, Abaqus).

• Experience simulating complex, multi-part assemblies in both FEA (e.g. drop testing), and thermal performance (e.g. measuring heat dissipation)

• Ability to simplify real product assemblies to assemblies that can be simulated with minimal impact to fidelity and accuracy

• Solid understanding of thermal management and structural optimization assemblies

• Understanding of active and passive cooling systems and approaches to accurately simulate their performance.

• Effective communication skills, capable of clearly conveying technical concepts to internal stakeholders and customers.

Desirable

• Expertise with CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Autodesk Fusion).

• Experience with surface-based and topology optimization modelling.

• Experience with generative design with an understanding of mechanical product assemblies

• Solid understanding of consumer electronics, particularly thermal management and structural optimization of consumer electronics assemblies

• Background in engineering consultancy or customer-focused engineering solutions.

Benefits:

• 25 days Holiday

• Pension 

• Private Healthcare
