Cae engineer durability

Gordon Murray Technologies combines the expertise of visionary designers and engineers to bring disruptive technologies and low environmental impact innovations to the mobility sector. Critical to the implementation of iStream Superlight are integral modules and systems engineered by Gordon Murray Electronics which deliver a range of electrical functionalities - these technologies also being scaleable to serve the delivery demands of any specific platform configuration. With multiple sites in Shalford and Warwick, the Gordon Murray Technologies continues to grow with multiple vehicle programmes currently in development. As a result, we currently have exciting opportunities for a CAE Engineer - Durability to join our Vehicle Attributes Team in Warwick. Responsibilities: Your primary responsibility will be to use Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to help guide the design and achieve component and assembly targets for mass, stiffness and durability. You will be expected to perform linear and non-linear analyses. The role will include build of full vehicle FE models and subsystems, loadcase derivation, analysis set-up and execution, post-processing of results to generate design recommendations. You will be expected to liaise with the design, development, project management, commercial, prototype and production manufacturing teams, technical partners and suppliers to ensure the designs meet the requirements for timing, performance, manufacturability and cost. Additionally, you will support R D activities and the development of tools and techniques to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the analysis department.
