• Strong technical knowledge in mechanical design methodologies and an understanding of cross-discipline engineering concepts, including manufacturing engineering, aerodynamics, thermodynamics, thermal and mechanical analysis, cost engineering and product definition.
• Strong experience with Ansys, Workbench and Mechanical APDL. Candidates should be able to hit the ground running.
• Aerospace experience preferred.
• Nuclear Specific: Strong technical knowledge in mechanical design methodologies and an understanding of and ability to integrate cross-discipline engineering concepts including manufacturing engineering, hydrodynamics, thermodynamics, static and dynamic stress analysis, fracture and fatigue assessment, cost engineering, and Installation & Commission.
• Nuclear Specific: Ability to undertake a wide range of roles including project and change management, conceptual design, final design verification, support and approval of final product definition, and support of manufacturing and integration activities.
• Ability to apply logical, analytical and innovative thinking to a range of technical problems and make balanced decisions across technical and business parameters.
• Knowledge and experience of product integrity/liability and certification frameworks.
• Ability to comfortably present protected information to stakeholders.
• Ability to integrate effectively into an already-existing team.
