OVERVIEW:
Join the innovation hub at Multimatic Technical Centre Europe (MTCE) in Thetford, UK, where design makes real-world impact. MTCE is a pivotal part of Multimatic Engineering, delivering advanced design, simulation, and testing services to clients including Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM’s), automotive suppliers, motorsports organisations, and more. A variety of specialised tools, equipment, and software support the many talented engineers developing effective product solutions.
The Analysis Department at MTCE is currently seeking a Structures (CAE) Engineer. Note that this position is not remote-based; the candidate needs to work onsite at our Thetford location. Collaboration among our teams is key for success.
Duties and Responsibilities:
As a Structures Engineer, constructing FEA models, performing simulations, recommending design improvements, performing engineering calculations, reviewing requirements and specifications, and preparing reports are among the daily tasks in developing our components, assemblies and full vehicles. The successful candidate will be required to work closely with other members of the team as well as other departments, particularly design engineering and testing. Your input to improve our performance understanding will help transform early concepts into viable production designs. You will also be interfacing with our manufacturing division partners and OEM customers.
As our product offerings have grown and the complexity of them increased, the Analysis team has needed to learn and adapt in support. Adopting new software tools, accounting for additional physics behaviours and material characteristics will likely be in your future.
