  • Plan, manage and deliver project work, ensuring outputs are delivered to time and budget and problems are mitigated as and when they arise.
  • Participate and manage others in delivering thermal investigations using techniques ranging from hand calculations to numerical analysis tools such as ANSYS, FloEFD, Fluent etc. to derive evidence on which to base technical decisions.
  • Develop test requirements and guide trials teams in delivering against these requirements.

  • On-going assistance to help you develop your skills and knowledge through both structured and ‘on the job’ training opportunities.
  • Working for a company that places a strong emphasis on looking after the welfare and development of its staff.
 
What’s great about the team?
  • You will be joining a highly motivated group with a strong desire to constantly strive to improve its effectiveness and influence across MBDA.
  • The group has a great team ethos and a strong emphasis is placed on creating a supportive and fulfilling environment in which people feel valued and encouraged to achieve their full potential.
  • The group is responsible for generating certification evidence and reviewing and accepting supplier compliances. Its work is pivotal to the certification of UK military systems.
 
What are we looking for?
  • Master’s Degree/Doctorate qualified in a subject relevant to the role or demonstrable equivalent experience.
  • Good problem solving skills coupled with a sound fundamental knowledge of thermal analysis using hand calculations, finite element analysis, CFD, etc.
  • Experience applying numerical based tools (e.g. ANSYS Mechanical, FloEFD, Fluent) to investigate and analyse problems.
  • Relevant experience in an equivalent or comparable industry.
  • Experience leading and managing small teams and/or the delivery of projects.
  • Previous experience identifying and delivering capability and technical improvements.
  • Determined Individuals that are self-motivated and can demonstrate strong interpersonal skills.
 
What would you get?
