Simulation Engineer 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 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. 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.
