Thermo-Mechanical Research Engineer

Youre a Thermo-Mechanical Engineer / TechnologyResearch Scientist wholl work on development of advancedengineering high temperature sensors operating at up to 1400oC inaerospace applications. You must be able to look at a problem fromfirst principles and investigate different materials andtechnologies.Youll be researching materials for the development ofOEM integrated sensor solutions with leading global companies inthe Aerospace, Automotive and Robotics industries for themeasurement of Torque, Force, Pressure and Temperature. Currentapplications include torque systems for eDrive motors, motor racingdriveline shafts and torque systems for aerospace engines. Thesensor systems utilise proprietary technology and componentryincluding sensing elements and a dedicated ASIC. The ASIC deliversa RF signal to the sensing elements and receives their resonantresponse, from which the physical measurement can be establishedusing software analysis and calibration algorithms.Youll havestrong engineering, physics and/or materials science understanding.They would work as part of integrated team of engineers looking thefull system including mechanical, electrical and manufacturing. Therole brings with it the ability to use a wide range of experiencesand knowledge, while at the same time, working within a flexibleand creative team.Key Responsibilities:· Design and development ofhigh temperature electro-mechanical sensing systems, utilising 3Dand FEA modelling and testing.· Researching high temperaturematerials and components for use in sensing systems and using thisinformation to help develop new sensing solutions.· Work withsuppliers to select and qualify components and materials and ensurecompliance with quality and industry standards.· Analyse andinterpret technical specifications, schematics, and engineeringdrawings to create innovative designs that meet projectrequirements.· Participate in design reviews, and recommend designmodifications to improve functionality, reliability, andmanufacturability.· Maintain knowledge of industry trends, bestpractices, and emerging technologies, and apply them to improvedesign processes and product performance.Qualifications andExperience:Education:· PhD or Masters degree in Engineering orMaterials related science subject.Experience:· Research orindustrial experience into high temperature materials ideally withPiezo properties, coatings and harsh environments.· The design andtesting of mechanical systems and components in high temperatureenvironments· Expertise in at least one of the following industrystandard software tools; MATLAB, Simulink, COMSOL, SolidWorks and,be proficient in Python & C.Personal attributes:· Stronganalytical and problem-solving skills, able to identify and proposesolutions to complex technical challenges.· Self-motivated.· Strongcommunication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectivelywith cross-functional teams and communicate technical informationto non-technical stakeholders.
