Senior Fluidicist / Analyst

Why we need you 

We are expanding and growing with plenty of exciting projects on the horizon and we have a fantastic opportunity for a fluidicist to get deep into the details and take a leading role in technical delivery for our clients. 

What you’ll get to do 

You’ll be working with a diverse set of skilled colleagues as part of the development team. You’ll lead workstreams and grow to leading entire projects. The majority of the time you’ll be focused on delivering the best fluidics design, analysis, and testing possible for our multi-national clients, understanding their needs and communicating clearly and effectively. 

You’ll be hands-on in solving really tough challenges, applying your fluidics skills and also your broader set of skills which may include design of mechanical components, design of systems, chemical engineering, life science, electronics, mechatronics, or anything else you can bring. Some examples of activities you may undertake are: 

• Carrying out research into cutting edge technologies and markets 
• Taking part in concept generation and problem-solving workshops 

• Evaluating ideas using evidence from modelling (CFD & FEA) or experimentally obtained evidence 
• Preparation of detailed designs, from component to system level 
• Manufacturing of parts and assemblies, hands-on or by liaising with colleagues and suppliers  
• Testing of solutions to ensure they meet the client’s and end-customers’ needs 

You’ll be working on projects that span a wide range of industries including food and beverages, agriculture, aerospace, transport, products and devices, and industrial processes. Our projects often involve product design, industrial automation, connected devices, fluidics, sustainability, and high and low volume production. 

There will be constant new challenges and variety in the projects you’ll work on. There will be new projects and the chance to work with new colleagues frequently. You will shape your own career path and areas of specialism through the work and responsibilities you take on and excel at.

What you will bring 

The role of Senior Engineer entails the ability to take responsibility for the success of a complex task and work independently and/or with colleagues to produce a solution. You’ll bring impressive fluidics ability and enthusiasm to the role, an excitement for creative engineering, and great team working abilities, including the ability to define tasks clearly and communicate them to others to carry out. 

You’ll have: 

• A graduate degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering (or related subject) or equivalent experience. 
• Ability to design original yet pragmatic solutions to problems using sound engineering judgement and communicate your ideas to colleagues and clients. 
• Analytical skills in fluidics including a strong grasp of fluidic principles. In addition, you may have proven proficiency in Computational Fluid Dynamics, heat transfer, microfluidics, aerosols, foams, or a similar field. 
• Proven track record of working in a diverse team and successful delivery. 
• You may also have, experience in CAD, design for manufacture, software skills, and other technical skills that show technical breadth.
