The Advanced Engineer - Materials CAE will lead and perform advanced simulation and virtual validation activities focused on material behaviour and its influence on safety‑critical products. The role combines constitutive material modelling, finite element analysis, physical test correlation and technical leadership to predict performance, support robust designs and ensure compliance with regulatory and customer requirements.
4–8 years of experience in materials CAE, constitutive modelling or related roles within automotive, aerospace or other safety‑critical industries.
Proven experience with finite element solvers and material modelling tools (e.g. Abaqus, LS‑DYNA, Ansys or equivalent) and implementing custom material models.
Strong knowledge of constitutive models for metals, polymers, composites and textiles including damage and failure criteria.
Practical experience correlating material models with experimental data and interpreting measurement results.
Proficiency in pre/post‑processing tools, scripting for model calibration and automation (Python, Matlab or similar) and data analysis.
Familiarity with restraint systems (seat belts, airbags), occupant protection or related safety domains is desirable.
Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Applied Mechanics or a related discipline; postgraduate qualification is advantageous.
